Spont Cycle

Spont Cycle
My Resmed 10 aircurve bipap reports Spont Cyc but this does not appear under the Oscar Statistics. Any reason why? I think this is a useful metric.

RE: Spont Cycle
Where are you seeing this? I thought that was on an ST or ST-A model.

RE: Spont Cycle
Which exact ResMed BPAP is this? There's several, VAuto, S, ST, ST-A, ASV are all BPAP.

PS: looking at another of your threads, you were using VAuto. Spontaneous cycle probably indicates your own pulmonary initiated cycling to exhale or similar.

RE: Spont Cycle
OK, I looked at the machine's Sleep report. There seem to be several values displayed that are not in the recorded data stream. I had to do a search to see its definition. I also found a thread back from 2014 that addressed your question. Here are the links to the complete thread and to the post within it that addresses the answer.

RE: Spont Cycle
Thanks for the interesting link. Guess I will still have to be recording it by hand if I want to adjust it.
