Thanks for the SD Tip.  Just ordered the Toshiba

Just to avoid problems, with the prescription, I would request that the doctor include your new titrated pressure, plus a couple, in the new prescription.  In other words, the lowest pressure you should consider is 6 cm, and your prescription should enable you to go as high as 15 as needed.    That is 1-cm less than your old prescription, and 2-cm higher than the titrated pressure.  That should cover it,and will avoid hassles with the DME if they try to remotely enforce the new prescription of 4-10, which seems a bit short-sighted.

Ditto this.

My machine was provided (by the sleep doc, I have Kaiser so they host the orientation class and pass custody of the machine at the sleep clinic) "wide open" at 4-20.
That is not "prescribed"... that is the factory default.   I complained about feeling starved for air, and they adjusted the minimum up to 6, which helped a lot.

After finding this forum and learning how to access the clinical menus, I eventually settled in on a setting of 8-18, with a ramp pressure beginning at 7 and Epap on 2.
That is most comfortable for me and my AHI is consistently 0.0 to 1.8, rarely exceeding 2 (when I'm sick).

If you feel starved for air with the bottom number set to 4 (which is generally a pediatric setting) don't hesitate to ask the doctor to increase it to 6 until you learn the ins and outs of adjusting on your own.

Do you know how to adjust the bottom end on the machine?

78zinman, any chance you are a Zinfandel fan, or is the name about something else?
