Right, I was planning to reduce pressures even more to try. Thinking about trying 9/5 tonight.

What makes you think you have emergent central apneas or a problem with centrals even? A little over 1 per hour average isn't near enough centrals to make criteria for that diagnosis. In the USA people need to have at least 5 per hour average. It's normal to have a handful of centrals. Are you slee...

So how many central apneas are you having?
Per hour average?
All night?

What is the AHI breakdown?

Please, look at the 3rd link I sent, it has all that. (just fixed it, since I could not attach images).

I've been struggling with finding a reasonable BPAP setting to improve my symptoms and reduce central apneas. When I use larger IPAP/EPAP (such as 11/6.5) I start getting aerophagia and waking up a lot. When I reduce to IPAP/EPAP to 10/5.5 I start getting central apneas and waking up with headaches ...

Do you know if it's in their roadmap to implement it? Do you mind asking the question here, https://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t187244/OSCAR-v151-released--September-23-2023.html ? One of the OSCAR team members should see it and answer. I ended up finding that there is already an open issue on thei...

It's actually "BPAP AUTO GII BMC T-20A Ser.".

BMC's ( ) machines are not supported by OSCAR.

Do you know if it's in their roadmap to implement it? I was able to unload my SDCard to my computer, but as you anticipated OSCAR does not recognize the format when trying to import.

Hi! I'm migrating from CPAP to BiPAP and have been struggling with the device not picking up my inspiration and not triggering the IPAP often. Could this be a breathing problem or a device issue? I initially noticed a clogged nostril but even after decongestion it kept happening. Just wanted to sha...

Is it the AirCurve 10V?

My device has sensitivities ranging from 1 to 8. I have played with both "I Sensitivity" and "E Sensitivity" for many days. Both are at maximum lately (=8). But still, every once in a while when I finish breathing out and start to breathe in, it does not switch the pressure and it gets hard to breat...
