Most of those numbers don't help as much as an AHI to see how you're doing. It's not the only parameter we look at.. The list of values you posted are important, but ultimately you will judge your progress with the AHI (apnea/hypopnea index). This number is the average number of apnea/hypopnea events you had during the night. You do have some problems with leaks at times.
Also, how do you feel?

AHI is 1.87 and I don't usually nape at all or doze off.

Thanks

Your 95% leak rate looks a bit high for the S9 (should be under 24) so your AHI reading may be a bit off. But generally good _ I love my S9 combo but have never used anything else, like most folks...
