Also I agree with sarcastic, ASV is only needed in special situations such as central/mixed apneas and also with some advanced breathing/neuromuscular disorders. Not to mention ASV are said to have higher risks of side effects.

Hi, my ResMed just came in. The settings rn are at 6/16 for min max pressure. 4 PS, Ti Max 2.0s, Ti Min 0.3s, Trigger and Cycle: Med, Start EPAP: 4. Not sure what most of these are. They told me this is what the doctor had me starting at. Should I change the settings at all?

This must be a VAuto. However you want to run it, be sure an unlocked SD card is in it so you can import data to OSCAR.

is this a new or used machine? If used perform a factory reset prior to entering your settings just to make sure all settings are in default position.

I checked, run hours are at 0. and it does have an SD card.

Set
Mode = VAuto
Min EPAP = 4
Max IPAP = 16
PS = 4
Everything else should be default
Use than post OSCAR charts and we can adjust

Will do, thanks

Congrats on the new machine! Let us know how those settings work for you and upload the data from your first night!

Night 1 of VAUTO. Not a great night, took a long time to fall asleep and so I took it off a few times. I'm not sure if it was intended but it only went from 4 to 8 for pressure, even though max was 16 for IPAP.

Thanks Johnny!
