Ooops...I get the locked out symbol for dropbox.

Try imgur like Palerider uses. I just now tried it. Pretty simple.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

Ah... dropbox is much less trouble... Same order as before:

only, dropbox doesn't work. all the rest of see is "image' where there should be images.

Those are some wild pressure reports. I think I'd recommend narrowing the pressure range a bit.

The flow limitations are keeping the pressure up...that's why it doesn't go down to that minimum of 7.

See how active your flow limitation graph is compared to mine.

yup., pressure is too low to prevent FL's.

And, obviously you're not sleeping very long with all that pressure going bonkers. Having to hit the "reset" periodically.

Not good.

on brief exam, it looks like most of the wakeups were after pressure dropped, which probably caused more arousals from either FL or other problems, not just higher pressure causing issues.

higher base pressure would probably calm things down a good bit.

How come the wake ups? Any idea?

Or, maybe a straight pressure........

ones one figures out what it should be.

you must *love* the cpap-check feature of the 460/560.

I have no idea what you're referring to, but I'd suggest a straight pressure of about 9 or 10 cm.
