That is what Dr Noah recommends, but if you do a search on this board for VCOM, you will see that most of the 'testers' have ignored that advice. They didn't want to change they way their machines are set up so the 'test' was destined to fail. Honestly even I don't follow all that advice, because I also have some positional apnea and do not need 15 cm all the time, if I sleep on my side I get through the entire night never exceeding 13 cm. So my setup is Full Face Mask and EPR off but Auto set from 12.6 to 15.6 cm.
Wally,
it's nice to see you were willing to at least give the v-com a try. and your results pretty much mirror mine.
if i added up all the money i've lost trying different masks/collars/tapes/pillows/mouthguards, etc, i could have bought dozens of v-coms. lol
i believe the v-com folks have stated that their algorithm could be written into current resmed machines, but that rm has no interest. i think that's why they are developing their own hardware. i'm curious to see how that goes. i might be interested when it becomes available.
and they repeatedly state to run in CPAP mode, with no EPR.
