That sounds like very wise advice - settle in a few days now and then evaluate. I also appreciate the question about the Smartflex settings. It was timely because I had set full time and rounding all to 3, which felt like a bit much. I just set them back to 2, and with the upper and lower pressures ...

Actually I am already at a lower pressure of 7.5, so perhaps I should adjust it to 8?

As a 10 year user of cpap equipment, I have never been given access to the numbers nor offered any explanation of them by my equipment suppliers. It didn't take too long to figure out that unless I had major problems and banged on the suppliers' door, I was on my own. They were mostly selling equipm...

Well, raising the lower level to 7.5 apparently did help, as my AHI went down to 3.5 ! At least we are inching downward (5 to 4 to 3.5)! My 95th % went down a bit to 9.5, and my 90th % went up slightly to 8.5 However my NRI (non-responding index) went up substantially to 8.73, and my EPI to 3. Shoul...

I followed advice and here is what happened with a lower setting of 7 (up from 4) and a high setting of 12 (titrated at 10 in sleep study). Snoring disappeared! Spouse happy about that! AHI went down from 5.0 to 4.0 95th % went to 10.0 90th % went to 8.0 NRI - 1.75 EPI - 1 At least the AHI dropped s...

Just to add another detail from someone who just purchased out of pocket and is on Medicare. My DME in a former state slipped me a non-auto machine as I was moving, and it was too late by the time I discovered it. Now after a new sleep study in a new state, with a higher pressure required, I am unab...

THANK YOU so much for the encouraging replies. To answer a couple of your questions, 10 is my recently (Dec. 2010) titrated pressure, which was an increase over the previous several years at 7. My doctor prescribed an auto machine because I was experiencing more fatigue during the day, and having th...

Since this is exactly my issue, and the numbers are nearly identical, could I ask you to send me whatever stuff is helpful also?

Really appreciated, as I am switching from a fixed cpap on 10 for greater comfort (new is on 4/10) and AHI of 5 is higher than on fixed cpap.

I need help on how to interpret and update for better therapy. Just switched from fixed CPAP at 10 to Intellipap Auto on 4-10. After entering the code in the Devilbiss report generator, I get a 1 day, 7.8 hour readout of: AHI 5.0, 95% is 6.5, 90% 5.5, 0 high leak, NRI 0.5, EPI - 0. Using Mirage Quat...
