Help in reading OSCAR data

Post by Ceepapi » Mon Feb 06, 2023 1:06 am

Greetings everyone
I am very new to using a CPAP machine.I am using a F&P SleepStyle Auto with a ResMed Airfit N30i nasal cradle mask. Also using the OSCAR app (re the attached image) as F&P do not have such an app for the end user. I am asking some basic help on how to understand what the data tells me and any advice on helping in maybe changing some settings to improve my use of this machine and help me sleep better.
I thank you in advance for the help
Cheers

You will find helpful info here:
OSCAR - The Guied

There's also a better way of presenting the data from OSCAR:

wiki/index.php/Oscar:organize

Your minimum pressure is too low to hold the airway open well enough to prevent the airway from collapsing.

How much more pressure is needed????? Hard to say based on this limited data.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

Great feedback, just the help I am after. I am on min 4 and will go up to min 7, would that be enough for starter? What extra data would be required?

Next time you post and image to share use the detailed tab on the left instead of the Events tab.

See how you do with minimum of 7....most likely you will need more but gotta start somewhere.
