Ahhh...stupid would be my guess.
Wanna bet they picked the 90% pressure? After all it's the holy grail of numbers.
Would it be helpful to post some stats from when I was in Auto mode?

Not really if they were all at the 4 cm minimum. I pretty much have a picture of what it looked like in my head.
I have seen it often enough in others.

How high did it want to go though at the max? Or did they limit the max?

Initial pressure on Auto was min:4 max:15, but I think it never went over 12-13 in the week I was on Auto. Maybe once to 15 in 7 full nights sleep. I can check when I get home if needed.

the max pressure is usually unimportant, it's the min pressure that's important to get right, and the one that so many lazy/stupid/ignorant (take your pick) get wrong.... thinking 'well, dur, it's an automatic machine, dur... it does it on it's own, drool"

and, yes, it eventually may get up to where you need it, but your sleep suffers while the pressure slowly builds.

Just wanted to let you all know that my pressure was increased to 10 last week after a discussion with the Tech and my AHI has dropped to between 1-2. Good stuff and I appreciate all your help.

Pressure is usally listed as number cm H2O. That is what it says on mine as ive been at 10 cm for while now.
