→The CPAP panel
The default values have been edited on the patient's profile. Things of note for a newbie:
===CPAP clock drift=== Clock Drift should be left at 0 hours, minutes and seconds unless you know your CPAP clock is off and you can't change the CPAP's internal clock. With Resmed models you can set the clock in CPAP settings. Philips Respironics owners cannot access the clock, and may need to offset time drift. The best way to do this is to record your start-time, and reset the clock drift the next day using the CPAP Clock Drift. Time offsets may be positive (advance time), or negative (move time back). For example, if your start time is 10:00 PM and the Sleepyhead charts show a starting time of 08:15, you need to move the time ahead +01:45. If the starting time on the charts shows 00:10:00, the time would be moved back -01:50:00. ===Show Leak Redline=== The default is to have this checked and the default value for the Redline is the ResMed value of 24 L/min. If you are using a ResMed S9 or S10, it's strongly recommended that you make sure Show Leak Redline is checked. If you are using a different machine, this may be a useful option for you, but you will need to change the value for the Redline to reflect. See [[A detailed look at the Show Leak Redline option]]
* ''Show compliance'' affects how low usage days show up in the Overview data and the compliance data in the Statistics page. The default line is 4 hours for obvious reasons. It's suggested that you leave this alone. Most insurance defines "Compliance" as greater than 4-hours of therapy in any 24-hour period, for 70% of any month (21 of 30 days).
* ''Custom User Event Flagging.'' It's recommended that most users leave this unchecked. It can be useful if you have a lot of "almost" apneas or "almost" hypopneas showing up in your detailed data, but it really is an advanced feature.
