And Den would be proud.
You forgot minimum and median/average...those would also be 12 unless the ramp was used to really mess up the numbers.
I have yet to see Corky's reports and that's why I have been so wishy washy with all the could/maybe/should (s).
I do know that newbies sometimes panic over "numbers" when their is no real reason to.
I just want to see the real deal graphs to have an idea if there is anything worth worrying over as in leaks or increasing AHI.
People get so fixated on a "number" that they lose sight of the big picture and sometimes cause themselves stress when it isn't necessary.
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.

My therapy is stable, so I rarely download the card and only look at the summary statistics on the machine display upon arising. If I see a big jump in events, pressure or AHI, I might download the card to look at the night's events. Fortunately this rarely happens to me.
On the other hand, Corky's therapy is not yet optimized and the Sleepyhead reports could help him in this process.
BTW, here is a simple example of "at least 95%" pressure.
12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12
The at least 95% pressure is 12, the at least 90% pressure is 12, and the 100% pressure is 12.
And Den would be proud.
Even when I don't post in a thread I get "teased".
But, I'm glad to know you're thinking of me.......
To the OP.......Corky1121.
In all seriousness, if you want to eliminate some of the "variables", use a straight pressure.

NOTHING to do with this incident

And, in all honesty, this was the first time I had peeked into this thread.......and I see my name mentioned.

pretty sure that the top 1% isn't reported by any cpap machine I've ever heard of
