What is the event category breakdown of that AHI?
Are you using the available software or just getting the data off the machine?

IMHO, two cents, "major" tinkerings can blow your numbers out of the water first night, but potentially adjust down next two nights and be proven right. Hard to say, do another night at the level to confirm or try another number. They usually do small increment adjusts.
