Help Reading OSCAR Report

Could anyone please tell me if there is something I need to pay attention to on my OSCAR report? I have Central Sleep Apnea, was reading about what my BiPAP machine should record and it said I should look for a CAHI reading? I didn't see anywhere on my recall replacement for a CAHI number so I saw everyone was still using OSCAR and I loaded it into my computer (replacement computer - old OSCAR info not on this one). I had a System 1 BiPAP. Philips replaced it with a Dreamstation Auto BiPAP (manufactured 04/2023). This was my first night with the Dreamstation. I haven't been using my old machine since I found out it was recalled (a couple of years) unless I was having very bad breathing problems; like waking up gasping for air breathing problems. I was able to load some information from my System 1 into OSCAR so there are some past references. I'm hoping this current one from last night is enough to determine whether I need to refine anything. I had issues staying asleep last night due to not having used a mask in so long, but my time in bed increased substantially which I am very thankful for. Many thanks to anyone who can help!

The value you’re looking for in OSCAR is Clear Airway (CA)
1.03 for this particular sleep session.
