How accurate are these readings?
The reason that I ask is because I might be TOO "smart", too aware, too curious but I noticed something curious or strange and that is that the nightly number of my 7 day average numerical display on the small screen of my respironics BiPap does not change past the third or fourth hour I sleep, no matter what might happen while I sleep.
For example, after a few hours of sleep, I press the left/right arrows and I read that (for example) my 7 day average AHI is 2.7........I go back to sleep for a few more hours, I check the display again and it still reads the same numbers as earlier.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed this about their machine displays.
This is a nightly thing and no, these numbers don't change (or update) after noon time so I was wondering if this LCD 7/30 day average screen display was accurate or if it were (as I have read) a mere sales gimmick.
Yes I know that some will answer me and advise me to buy a program which will give me an accurate and detailed nightly reading. I plan to do so when I buy a new computer, but this old computer may not be able to use detailed and new software so I won't risk buying the software yet.
