What does this Data mean? Good or Bad?

Post by Windmill » Tue May 19, 2009 6:53 am

Hi,
I was finally able to find how to check my data on my machine with help from this forum, thank you again. Now I need help to understand what it says. My leak was 0.06L, AHI 1.2, AI.2, and HI 1.0 Are these numbers good or bad?

Thanks, Marlene

If how you feel correlates with the data, then you must be on cloud 9.
Those are very very very good results.

You want everything as close to 0 as possible. You're pretty darn close. Congrats!

After seeing your thread for an equipment recommendation and the way they were guessing at the correct pressure for you I would say that you got VERY lucky. Those are some GREAT numbers, especially for a Resmed machine. BTW, that Resmed S8 Elite is a good machine. It provides data, has exhale relief, and provides great therapy.

On a Resmed S8 those numbers are impressive. On my s8 I typically get AI of about 0.4 & HI of about 3.4 so methinks your scores are great.

Naturally, it is how good you feel in the day that matters

Good going
