Spont Cycle - GeorgeGus - 10-04-2024
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.

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

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.

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.

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