Theory on ResMed hour meter that causes issues.
Ok let's see if this makes sense to you, my wonderful Apnea Board captive audience.
Some of you are aware I received a second ResMed ASV machine when I discovered my user hours didn't match my machine's total hours. Note that I know for absolute certainty that when I received this second machine the "Run Hours" were zero.
1) Am I correct that Run Hours equals total machine usage?
2) Also, am I correct that Used Hours in the Sleep Report equals my hours used?
3) Assuming both answers above to be Yes, and assuming both machine and user hours starts at zero at the same time, how can they be different now?
Here's my theory of this situation. I'm making several assumptions, including that I know what I'm talking about. OK, my theory in the mismatched numbers is this: either the warm-up of the humidifier OR the Cool Down function OR EVEN both are adding to the Run Hours number.
I ask for feedback and others that have a ResMed to compare notes please. Let me hear from especially those that user the warm-up function (assuming that Cool Down is automatic and user has no control).
Thank y'all,
Dave B.
