Can you check my OSCAR data please ?

LAB Sleep Study: AHI of 52
Current AHI with CPAP < 4
CPAP Machine: Löwenstein Prisma SMART Max APAP 5-11 cmH2O (using ResMed AirFit F30) with a humidifier set at level 2.

I've been using a CPAP machine for nearly a month now, and my AHI has consistently been under 4. I started feeling better after just three days of CPAP therapy and have since gotten used to it.
I need your help to understand whether the pressure settings prescribed by my doctor are adequate or if they can be improved based on my OSCAR data.

Initially, my doctor lowered the maximum pressure from 12 to 11 after noticing that my median pressure was 9.8. However, after reviewing the data myself through OSCAR, I noticed that the IPAP 95% is at 11, and the maximum IPAP is also 11.

I feel like my pressures could be optimized further. Currently, the minimum pressure is set at 5, which feels low to me, and the maximum pressure is set at 11, which might not be sufficient (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Additionally, I see that I have a lot of flow limitations. Should I be concerned about these, or should I focus only on the apneas?

I've uploaded my OSCAR data to Imgur, including four daily graphs and the statistics page.

Thanks for your help!

I recommend you Raise your mas pressure to at least 15. It may never get that high. Your machine will only go as high as it needs to. Raise you minimum pressure to 6, or 7. Try those setting for a few nights and see how things look.
