My Hybrid usage

[Crickette]

As you can tell I'm a newbie to the CPAP world. I am trying the best I can to educate myself about apnea as well as the equipment. Getting any education out of my DME and my doctor is like pulling teeth. I guess thats what you get when you live in East Podunk. We have all of 4 doctors in my town, so I don't have a lot to choose from and the next nearest city that has better doctors is 43 miles away and public transportation doesnt go that far...So saying that I am glad that I stumble across this forum. You guys (and gals) have been very helpful to answer my questions. Thanks a bunch!

Your pressure then is 14 cm. You can only set a minimum and a maximum pressure if you have an auto or an auto machine set in auto mode.

You have a Pro according to your profile - straight cpap - straight pressure - no minimum or maximum.

Crickette, if I might make a suggestion, change the display for your equipment from Pictures to Text. Helps others to ID your equipment correctly.

Crickette,
Large leaks (as you can see on drj's sofware output) ... are never good. Need to avoid them. It is possible to not get large leaks with the Hybrid, because I don't usually unless the mask cushion isn't inserted right.
Leak rate from machine... I usually in between 45 and 50'ish for my leak rate... and my IPAP (inspiration pressure) is set to 24 but usually doesn't go over 18.

My pressure is 14.0 I'm not sure about the min/max.

Without a fully data-capable machine, card reader and software, it is difficult for patients to understand what is happening with their therapy and what to do to make it better. I suggest you make it a priority to get such equipment at some point.
