Your current EPAP min is 9.0. Since ASV really changes things up, we want to do a night at default settings of EPAP min 5.0, EPAP max 9.0, PS min 3.0, PS max 15.0.  You should expect we will narrow that range after hearing your feedback, so don't be too frustrated if this is not the most comfortable night.

Could you help me setting the machine knowing all my apnea history ? Maybe default is ok ?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

How did it go with ASV? Did it have any effect on CAs? It seems like arousals are the cause? 


Best regards

In fact I ordered an ASV machine last week, but I fear it was a scam. Not sure at all to get my ASV one day...

Without posting a link, or using .com etc. can you tell us the source you ordered the CS Pacewave from? We may not be able to help, but we can help warn others.

Here is the link (french site) Recpap

I was very naive to think I can get any ASV at 899E   Sad

I am not sure at 100% it is a scam now but at 99%.

The worst review on Trust Pilot (1 star) had the same problem as you but recieved his device after one month of waiting and total silence from the company.

Hi everybody

I got a refund of the ASV I tried to order a few weeks ago. Merchant is not very serious for sure but impossible to say if it is really a scam or not. I had to contact my bank to resolve this.

About my sleep, because I still don't have ASV and I feel exhausted 60 to 80% of time, I try different settings with my Resmed 11.
Here's a screenshot of last night with Autoset for her mode with EPR 3 (I am a male).

What do you think ? Resulting graphs are not so bad. Anyway today I feel exhausted (no deep sleep on my watch, like often).

Maybe too short use this night...

Thanks
