Congrats on the 0.0.

I manage to rack up a 0.0 about every week or so, and I just love it when I do. If I got them more frequently, I'd consider lowering the lower pressure setting of my APAP range, but I'm not quite there yet.

My range of 9.5-12inches just seems to be a sweet spot for me, and I don't want to goof around with success.

Again, keep up the good work.

I'm not using auto mode because I think a fixed pressure is better suited for me.

I have seen auto pressure changes disrupting my sleep stages when viewing in conjunction with Zeo graphs. I use cpap mode to eliminate pressure spikes as a variable for sleep stage disruption.

Congrats to all in the ZERO club!

Even more impressive, Cosmo, is that 95% zero leak!!!

I got conformation today that my WISP mask has been shipped. I like my Swift FX but I am always willing to try something that sounds like it fits better or will give me better numbers. I will report back when I can give it a try.
