Would it be helpful to post some stats from when I was in Auto mode?Pugsy wrote:
Ahhh...stupid would be my guess.
Wanna bet they picked the 90% pressure? After all it's the holy grail of numbers.

Re: Newbie confused about pressure
Not really if they were all at the 4 cm minimum. I pretty much have a picture of what it looked like in my head.
I have seen it often enough in others.
How high did it want to go though at the max? Or did they limit the max?

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
Re: Newbie confused about pressure
Initial pressure on Auto was min:4 max:15, but I think it never went over 12-13 in the week I was on Auto. Maybe once to 15 in 7 full nights sleep. I can check when I get home if needed.Pugsy wrote: How high did it want to go though at the max? Or did they limit the max?

Re: Newbie confused about pressure
the max pressure is usually unimportant, it's the min pressure that's important to get right, and the one that so many lazy/stupid/ignorant (take your pick) get wrong.... thinking 'well, dur, it's an automatic machine, dur... it does it on it's own, drool"Esskay33 wrote:Initial pressure on Auto was min:4 max:15, but I think it never went over 12-13 in the week I was on Auto.

and, yes, it eventually may get up to where you need it, but your sleep suffers while the pressure slowly builds.

Re: Newbie confused about pressure
Just wanted to let you all know that my pressure was increased to 10 last week after a discussion with the Tech and my AHI has dropped to between 1-2. Good stuff and I appreciate all your help.

Re: Newbie confused about pressure
Pressure is usally listed as number cm H2O. That is what it says on mine as ive been at 10 cm for while now.
