High AHI, Flat Pressure

Post by aherman18 » Fri Sep 28, 2018 8:44 am

AHI seems high, yet machine is not increasing pressure. Min set for 9, Max 14.4. However it never increases much above 11.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It's maxing at 13.3.

Turn your min to 11, max 20. see what happens.

Very strange to me, I am wondering if your CPAP is broken.?

Which specific model of machine do you have?
Do you have the "For Her" model?

I have a regular Resmed 10. I'll try upping the lower and upper pressure.

We will see.

Thanks for the help.

Many leave the max setting quite high, even leaving it at 20, because it's the min. setting that does the work and capping the max one so close to it (as you do) can be an unnecessary problem.
