Great is 0.0, but you won't see many of them. AHI under 5 is considered good, the lower the better.

Snore rate, lower is better, under 5 ok 2 is better

Leaks- no large leaks
Mask leak rates vary acording to type and pressure, I use FF Mask @ 15.5 CM and leak .4 to.5 LPM

Good Luck, use it as much as you can. I'm on 8+ hours a night. Jim

My reader is showing a leak rate of approx. 23-25, AHI of about 5.2, OA of 2.2, VS of 5-6, H of 2-3. Can anyone tell my generally how these results are? Anything you find alarming in my readings? Thanks for any and ALL input, as I have taken my care into my own hands since the DME are so lousy! thanks again for your input.

You are off to a good start. What range of presures is your machine set for?
It sounds like you could use better control and maybe a little higher pressure range.

I don't see anything to be alarmed about. Jim
