Maybe try the newer version of SH for the Aircurve. How do you feel during the day?

AHI question

I'm not familiar with that particular Resmed machine, but I imagine you can get data and view it on the machine screen.

I'd check that first. You should find out pretty quick what the machine recorded as the AHI and the breakdown.

When your AHI is zero, it means you had no apnea and no hypopnea events that night. My AHI is usually below 1, but I get an AHI of zero 3 or 4 times a yr.
Your Hours were 9:13, with an AHI of Zero.

AHI is Apnea Hypopnea Index. It is the average of how many events you have per hour. An AHI of under 5 is considered acceptable treatment.
