How am I doing?

I'm on my third week of therapy. Five days ago I changed to the S9 Elite because of noise problems with previous machine. Here are my average stats for those FIVE days. Good, right?! A bit concerned about 9-11 obstructive apnea events a night, but I don't know what that really means. Thanks for all your help. This group is amazing.

AHI: 2.6
Obstructive apnea index: 1.27
Hypopnea index: 1.27
Clear airway apnea index: 0.27

Average leak rate: 0.55
90% leak rate: 1.20

Pressure: 10.00

Those numbers are very good.
Don't be concerned about those 9 to 11 events that occur over the entire night unless they all occur within a 15 minute time span in one big cluster.
We don't really expect to totally eliminate all events anyway. Even people who don't have the OSA diagnosis will have a few events themselves.

What I don't see in the above numbers is how many hours of sleep you are averaging??? That's important too.
9 to 11 events over 8 hours isn't nearly as worrysome as over 4 hours.

Thanks for your reply. I'm averaging about 6:59 minutes of sleep. Will be more now that the kids are back in school.
