It's too small to read properly... repost it larger with Q's re any issues you have but leave the calendar (and keyboard) off.

If you mean the bars on the left, it says flow limitations.

It's BND, or Breathing Not Detected. Usually that indicates a little tech-type bug of some kind, I think, one that doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. Possibly there's a problem with the SD card, or reading the SD card. But others know more about this than I do!

If you want to post a chart again in the future, take a screen shot and either attach it to your post or provide it via a link to an image-hosting site like Imgur.

BND or Breathing Not Detected just means the machine was on and blowing air but the human wasn't on the other end so the machine couldn't detect any breathing.
Most likely the mask was removed either on purpose or by accident.
