The closest model number is the DSX1030T11 is a Philips Respironics Dreamstation BiPAP ST. If this is an older System One machine (gray) then the ST was model DS1060. Support was never written into Sleepyhead for that relatively rare machine, but there is a remote possibility the Sleepyhead Beta version 1.1.0 will run this, but I am not promising anything. http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-Sleepyhead-Version-1-1-0-TESTING-Beta
Let's start with getting his settings. On the BiPAP ST, there is a setting for mode. EPAP pressure, IPAP pressure and Breaths Per Minute (BPM) and if he is using AVAPS mode there will be tidal volume settings. These are in the clinical menu. Here is a tutorial on how to access that menu so you can write down the settings. Do not make any changes at this time,. For the Dreamstation use https://www.apneaboard.com/dreamstation-clinician-setup-instructions For the older model PRS1 use https://www.apneaboard.com/pr-system-one-philips-respironics-setup-cpap-clinician-menu-instructions Please copy down the settings you see and post them and let's clarify exactly what machine you are using.
This machine will provide efficacy data on-screen in 1-day, 7-day, 30-day and 90 day increments. You are mostly interested in short-term results for AHI, type of AHI and spontaneous breathing. You can get a copy of the setup manual here, but we need to know exactly what machine this is https://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-pressure/change-cpap-pressure-settings-adjusting-your-machine-with-a-clinician-setup-manual
