I rarely have a single digit AHI. My machine is set for between 8cmH2O and 12.

if you'd like to start your own thread, we could help you out with that.

first thing is, it's likely that your settings aren't optimized to give you good therapy. so that's something we can talk about in your own thread!

Ahh.. I see what you mean Pale Rider. However, that screenshot I posted was my rogue, abnormal, crazy, ravaged-by-aliens screenshot....which is why I was "shocked" (lol) and posted a plaintive plea for help ! My S9 was showing higher-than normal (for me) AHIs during that April 18-25 period which made me curious, but that really high10.85/clumping came out of nowhere.

That one night was no mere alien probe on my pink S9....she got totally bushwhacked! Ahem...

BTW...screenshot of my history and a screenshot of a "typical" night ... (leak stats vary depending on mask)
I've had those settings for 255 days with a .52 cumulative score. Thanks to all the help from this forum, it seems to be working okay for me!
Bushwhacked I tell ya'!

My point, such as it is, is that if you set your max to 20 (where it should be), then when you do have a night like that, rare though they may be... the machine will be able to help you.

Why?

When I first got it it was set at 8. After the first month the clinic set it to fluctuate between 8 and 12. I go back in the end of the month. We'll see then what they think.

You are lucky. . Mine is set to start at 10.6 and most nights it doesn't go past 15-16 but I've seen it go as high as 21 on occasion so I keep my settings open because if it needs to go higher it can. Why limit it unless you struggle with aerophagia or are sensitive to pressure changes ?

It's set where my clinic set it. I go back later this month. Maybe they will raise the pressures then.

Well in all honesty it wasn't a question, I was simply commenting that I have a similar issue.
