DeVilbiss AHI settings

[thebrez1]

I am looking for some feedback. I have been using a DeVilbiss Intelipap Auto for two nights now and am getting an AHI of 11! My respironics never went over 2 (usually .7-1.2). Is there a difference in how the two manufacturers determine what triggers an event recording? In other words, are the numbers equal? Is, say a 2 AHI on one, the same as a 2 on the other?? 

Also, is there anyway to get the data from the Intellipap to Sleepytime?

I have been using CPAPS since 1995 before it was cool :-)

Thanks for any potential help. Love this site and have used it many times over the years!

Your AHI could be the difference in the algorithm each machine uses to respond to a particular class of apnea.    #SleepyHead would definitely would help in this matter.  Your DeVilbiss Intelipap Auto has a good chance of being recognized by #SleepyHead.   To make it easy,  I've made all the #SleepyHead names a link for downloading.

Good luck - I look forward to seeing your charts.

AFAIK, you put the codes from the DeVilbiss into a website and it gives you an instant report.
the pressure may be default 4-20?

does the display give you the median or 90/95% number. we could do a rough setting off that to get in the ball park
