Take home sleep study through a ResMed device sent by my doctor. There is a tiny device you can connect to your nose and electrodes in your arms and such that you can take home and do a self study.
I did another study this October with the dental appliance. I now measure 4 AHI with the dental appliance (and 0.5 AHI with the CPAP).
Also what appliance do you have and what's the millimeter setting on it?
I have the Panthera DSAD set to extend out 3mm with the 24mm plastic link, stops all snoring, and SP02 over 1 night looks comparable to CPAP SP02 data so I assume it is working.
I also just bought the Somnomed Fusion as a backup. Waiting for it to arrive.
Note: I use Wellue O2Ring for SP02 continuous measurements.
Does Apnea-Air device lower the pressure somehow on the CPAP? I assume the device connects to the CPAP through some cable and says, hey lower the pressure so I can measure AHI etc. Else if the CPAP is blasting at the therapy pressure the impact of the appliance will be hidden.
I'll ask the doc about this device. Didn't know the at home sleep test was this easy these days.
I am not sure if Apnea-Air device can be used with a CPAP, I don't know how that works. With Apnea-Air, you need to insert two tubes through your nostrils.I actually don't remember how they tested my sleep with the CPAP in the sleep study in the clinic now.
"With the dental appliance, I measure about 15 AHI", how did you measure that?
I use a SP02 meter and a snore app to verify if the appliance works but I'd love to check the AHI also.
I also backpack and just got the Panthera last month for camping/backpacking/no electricity places...
Been using CPAP for 7 years.

Seems the device is standalone. I will be running the test this week! Hopefully good results!
