You are using an S9 now also? Did you use software before like Sleepyhead maybe? If so you should be able to find your settings there.Walking Zombie wrote:hi thats it i'm not sure..i know my highest was up at 18 sometimes

Do you know how to access the clinical setup menu? If not, there is a link to a video on it in my signature block below.
Sounds like 5 is too low. I would recommend bringing your minimum pressure up by 1 every couple of nights and watch to see (a) your AHI and (b) how you feel. If AHI is not under 2, and/or you still feel like crap, keep raising the minimum pressure every couple of nights until you get the results.
My pressures were all over the board on the same machine when i started out 4-20. However, doing the above brought it under control and I started feeling better quickly.
