I urge everyone to talk to a sleep doctor and generally ignore medical advice on here. Some info is right, some is wrong, and frankly it's because of lack of understanding. For example, you wouldn't know that CA is further subdivided into hypocapnic vs nonhypocapnic categories and your body is responding to both in completely different ways (with different treatments and PAP machines needed at times).
This site is a great place to find deals. I couldn't find you a cheaper AirSense 10 and from that perspective this is a great machine. The algorithm for the AutoSet is (practically) the same as the newer AirSense 11, so if you would use the automatic CPAP mode (most OSA patients) you're getting as good of an APAP setup as any other I know of with this machine.

Thanks OP and reps x4!
I've been struggling for around 8 years being tired all of the time but not being able to sleep. When I do get to sleep it usually is for about 6 hours (but do get up 2-3 times to turn in bed) and then I'm up. I also have Beta Thalasemia but this has been all of my life. I probably still need to see a hematologist to see if anything is related.
I've been battling depression and anxiety since all of this happened and some GI issues. I thought initially this was from a toxic job and just piling up all of the years. My first home sleep study had an AHI of 5 back in 2016. A sleep lab showed close to 10 but due to my anxiety I had taken 2 ambiens to knock me out. I later found out those throw all of the numbers off. I had another sleep study done in Nov at home and it showed an AHI of 2.5 and 3.1 (2 different days). Someone mentioned that the sleep study doesn't take into account UARS. I just don't know how to present this to the sleep doctor to at least try a Bipap and see if things improve. My mouth breathing still persists.
I'm just really lost and keep getting tests done which say everything is fine when things are not.
I'm just suspicious of overly inflated prices for medical devices acquired thru my doctor.
First time using a cpap ever.

I look at the Airsense 10 and it appears to require different tubing. Anyone able to confirm whether or not I can use same tubing on both machines? I hate to outlay a bunch more on different sets of supplies.
TIA

Walk-in clinics like CVS can write the RX for apnea.
https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/...leep-apnea
Or any walk-in clinic if you call ahead. Probably want to do your homework on what CPAP you want in case the physician tries to steer you to their store's inventory or preferred brands.
I set my airsense 10 to apap to run as low as 7.8 and as high as 16. Every few months I'll lower the lower end just a little and see how my body responds. When it's set too low, I start having apneas before I reach a restful sleep and then I have more apneas through the night.
If you're into reviewing your own sleep, I recommend installing and using OSCAR https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/ [sleepfiles.com] . OSCAR can read the SD card from your CPAP and give you all kinds of details that normally only doctors can see. You can see details like what type of apnea you had and when, and the pressure that the machine was pushing at every minute throughout the night.
Any time I adjust the settings on my machine, I'll compare the following couple of nights to the prior nights to see if the changes were beneficial.
Another thing that helped my apnea is an adjustable base bed. For me, raising the head of the bed 3 to 4 inches lowers my apnea events quite a bit.
I can see it being useful if you can fall asleep easily in anything or want to wear earplugs or just use it on the plane, but outside of that I regret the purchase as a travel one. It will now serve as an expensive backup.
Everyone's min max settings are different (I wouldn't worry too much about max).
It's not recommended, but you can use OSCAR software to read data off your machine and make a decision for yourself. But If you don't want to do that, just kind of bump up your min pressure 0.5-1 cm at a time until you see reductions in your AHI below your target number for 2-3 days in a row.
