Question on Sleepyhead-Pressure Graph on overview

Post by Haztek » Fri May 04, 2012 6:37 am

I understand the min/max and average pressure, but what is the blue/gray line that is labeled Max indicate?

Thanks,

Haztek

I believe that line represents your max pressure setting---i.e. the top of your pressure range.

My APAP is set for 12 min- 15 max

There are 4 lines: Red is the max pressure (15) my APAP is set at.
Green is the average pressure (for the night)
Yellow/Orange is the minimum pressure (12) my APAP is set at

The Blue/Gray line is also labeled MAX ? - Not sure what this is?

Thanks, jerry

It looks to me like the Blue/Gray line is just mislabeled and should actually be 95% pressure. If you look at the other graphs, they have Min, Med, 95% and Max. The pressure graph shows Min, Med, Max and Max so I'm guessing the first Max should actually be 95%.

the lines on the graph are each day. you can see and verify these numbers from your daily details.

red is the max you have set for your pressure.
yellow is the minimum you have set for your pressure.
green is your medium pressure for the night.
gray is the max pressure you attained for the night.

the colored dots at the top of the graph are the average for each of these pressures across the entire number of days of the reporting period of the graph.
