MHAM,
I have been using the Virtuoso LX for almost two weeks ( retitration) and I can't wait to get rid of it!! You were certainly right about it. It takes quite a bit to activate it when snoring,
and it doesn't detect apneas at all(without a loud snore following). I was wondering , if you might know, why they set my lower pressure at 9 when my pressure with my machine was 11? It doesn't make sense to me that
they would lower it for the auto-pap. At least before I was getting that constant 11 (which wasn't high enough because I was snoring) and now
they expect that the 9 is going to make me feel better? Maybe they were just trying to induce the snoring for this to see how far I could drive the pressure up.
Even though I know I got the pressure up one night(because my husband was awake at the time) I am doubtful it worked very well. I wish they would have given me a choice and that I knew more about
auto-paps at the time.
Thanks for your advice before and I will report how the results come out.

Savannah
