what is that string of numbers under the orange ahi box? it's just under where it says EPAP 7.0 PS. i know i don't look at bilevel stuff so much, but is that a garbage string of numbers or is it meant to display that way?

It's a bug in the program... it's *supposed* to be the pressure settings, but there's a misalignment in the actual data, and where the program thinks the data should be... part of one of the headers, so it doesn't affect the detail/high rate data, just some of those numbers there.

thanks for that. so if one had to chose a place for a weird number string, you'd want it there rather than goofing up more important maybe even crucial data, right?

Yeah, not that one wants it goofing up anywhere.. hehe. but better there than in the flags or something

Now that I have some Oscar data to look at I wanted to share the last few days. Just under 6 AHI is the lowest I have achieved in just over 2 weeks usage.

I'm going to call my sleep doctor today and ask if I should start incrementing up the the 14 IPAP that was originally prescribed. I'm handling the treatment(pressure) much better than I thought I would and waaaay better than presurgery attempt on a CPAP last year and I'm hoping the increased IPAP will reduce events. How does this typically work? Do doctors frown us messing with pressures ourselves during the early stages of treatment like I'm in?

I'm also going to ask what conditions I have to prompted my specific machine just so I understand and can justify the $$$$.
