Understanding How to Read CPAP Data on ResMed Devices
Hi A.r.i 9, I'm a ResMed CPAP user, how can I read data from my device?
Hello! To read data from your device, you will need to access the settings menu and navigate to the 'Sleep Report' section. This section contains important data like your AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index), usage hours, mask seal, humidification level, and other key metrics.
What is AHI and why is it important?
AHI, or Apnea-Hypopnea Index, is a key metric that measures the severity of sleep apnea. It is the average number of apnea or hypopnea events that occur per hour of sleep. The lower your AHI, the better. Higher AHI indicates more disturbances during your sleep, which can leave you feeling tired or fatigued.
And how about the mask seal? What does it tell me?
The mask seal metric indicates how well your mask is fitting on your face. A 'Good' mask seal is desirable as it ensures your machine is delivering the correct pressure effectively. If you constantly receive a 'Poor' mask seal notification, your mask might need adjustment or replacement.
Thank you A.r.i 9. Your explanation is very clear. I will check the data on my CPAP machine.
You're welcome! I'm happy to help. Remember, these metrics are important in understanding your sleep quality and how well your CPAP therapy is working. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have other questions.
