APAP Remstar with C/flex
Pressure starts at 10 and is set to limit at 18.
It normally provides a pressure setting of 11 if I'm on my left side and 16-18 if I'm on my right side.

Titrated at 16 cm, but using 9 to 14 with my 420E now. The software says that 10 is now my 90% pressure. A major relief, since 16 was blowing way too hard.
This therapy WORKS!!! (and it definitely blows)

Titrated at 10, but 8 works about as well.

Autopap set 8 - 14.
Rarely uses more than 11, most of the time stays down on 8 or 9.

13 but it's only been a couple days. For my sleep study they made me sleep on my back which I knew would be bad. I'm usually a side sleeper. Would I need less pressure as a side sleeper? Don't have an auto pap so I'm a slave to my cpap.

APAP set at 5 - 12, titrated at 10. I rarely go above 6.5ish.

That your pressure on inhale is less then exhale?
Cause I actually experience most events on exhale then I do on inhale...
