And the Results are in and the prescription is written

And I have about half a clue as to what all this means. 

 

First I will tell you the prescription:

 

A-PAP Auto titrator @ low - 9, high - 14  Downloadable AHI compliance

With Humidifier / Heater

And "Please provide Download for AHI, Leak and usage Compliance data"

 

In my very unexperience opinion, that sounds pretty good.  Right?

 

Here is the other stuff and I don't know what's relevant and what isn't so I'll just tell ya'll all of it.

Diagnosis: 327.23, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Adult

Procedure: 95811, NSPG w/PAP

Recommendation: APAP 9-14 Cm H2O

 

 

There are two other pages, one that shows a LOT of numbers and has "CPAP" at the top of the page and then the next page looks like a bunch of earthquake data.

 

Any insight???

 

Supposed to get my machine tomorrow!!!  YAY!!!!!

I agree, you did good Allison. When you get your actual machine and mask let us know what model you got and how your first night goes. I'm glad you got an auto.
Good luck and be sure to keep us posted.
