Based on my charts here, with only a couple H's and 1 OA during this period, I'm trying to understand why the pressure remained above the minimum 4.0 for most of the period and even reached my maximum of 8.0... Could the Flow Limitations be a factor? Does my S9 Autoset actually respond to Flow Limitations in the .1 area? I thought that was insignificant? There was essentially no snoring so i didn't include that...
many thanks

the autoset responds aggressively to flow limitations, (a narrowing of the airway) in an attempt to prevent apneas. you see where you had a lot of flow limits, pressure went up, when they stopped, it started backing down. it also responds aggressively to snoring for the same reason.

Your charts look good, but why only 2 hours.
You need to get in the habit of 6 or 8 hours a night sleep WITH your CPAP.
