Sleep Apnea / Sleep Test Requirements

I have sleep apnea and a CPAP. My last sleep test was at least 3 years ago. I haven't had any problems or indications that my CPAP pressure needs to be changed. I'm wondering how recent the sleep test needs to be for the program to accept the results without requiring a new one. Has anyone encountered this issue? What was the response?

Many thanks in advance for your replies!

Do you or have you been to follow ups with your cpap provider? Most require at least once a year follow ups where they check your readings on your unit to monitor how your doing.

I think it has u have to have a recent sleep test (within the last 2 years).  Call the center and ask.

My sleep test had been 5 years earlier and I was using my CPAP machine faithfully.  I was not asked to be retested.  That was my experience in Ottawa.
