OOPS!!!!
I "accidently" discovered by DME provider had not set my machine right. Several months ago they "gave" me the 15 performance tubing instead of the 22. I like the new tubing better. But they never changed the setting on the machine. I changed it myself last night (figured out how to get in to the clinician's settings) My AHI 7 day average was a little higher this morning.(2.7) ANyway,my question is... was this causing any harm to my Remstar System one machine or suboptimal treatment to me or what? DO I let my Sleep doctor know or does it not matter. I have had so many bad experiences with this local company but I think it is difficult to change midstream until the machine is owned by me. Will be a year March 17th.

Although it is a setting in the clinical menu of most machines, tubing size will not have a significant impact on efficacy of therapy. Still, it's good to get the setting right. No need to alert anyone to the change. Good luck!
