I’m a totally new user here who came across this board when searching for OSCAR tutorials. I posted on the Reddit r/CPAP board yesterday with questions about the resmed app results, and from the feedback I got, I adjusted the fit of my mask and downloaded OSCAR. I looked at the results today only to find it has my worst AHI ever for the night and says I only used it for 2:42 (despite using the machine from 11pm-6am). It also doesn’t show respiratory rate. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? [AirSense 11]
Also, thanks for your help.
Edit: someone on Reddit mentioned the lack of details may be a result from the same SD card not being left in overnight. I did use a SD card last night for the first time, but it was unreadable this morning… So I loaded a fresh SD card into the machine a few hours ago then plugged it into the computer to see if it worked… when it showed me these details, I thought it did… I guess I just need to give it another night with the working card in there to get more information.
My results for last night certainly better than the 20+ mask on/off and 5/20 mask seal from the night before (see attached photos), but now my AHI and average events per hour is ridiculously through the roof. Also, I noticed it seems to be dropping my therapy hours for no reason at all - the number of nights I *haven’t* used it for at least 7 hours is very low (usually when I’m traveling on a plane), but the software thinks otherwise.
For example, I am absolutely positive I got seven hours last night, but it says I only got 2:42 (although my sleep last night was not great, and I didn’t actually fall asleep for quite a while… but the machine was definitely on from 11p-6a). There are tons of other very low-usage days that I am positive are incorrect. I assumed fixing the mask fit would resolve those issues, but nope! They seem to be worse. Other than just trying again tonight, I don’t know what else to do.
I was also hoping to see the respiratory rate, but other than the information you can see in that photo, all of the other charts are blank. I tried to import the data to SleepHQ just now, but it looks like importing it to OSCAR cleared the datalog folder from the SD card. Oops?
Side note: the reason my therapy time is flip-flipped for 3 months is because I went diving in the Philippines, where there’s a 14h time change. Also, when I was over there, the local woman I was dating complained about my snoring, so I realized that after 5 years of therapy, 10 titration must not be enough, so I changed it to 12 mid-trip. She said that did away with the snoring.
First time OSCAR user with bizarre results for AirSense 11 . Any ideas?

The SD card needs to be in while you're using the machine to record the details you want. You'll just get summary data without it.jerbee wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 6:55 amEdit: someone on Reddit mentioned the lack of details may be a result from the same SD card not being left in overnight.
