Now that you say that, I think you are right. I have never seen it work, so I really wasn't to interested in what it did. I was only concerned with what it did now. But now that you say it, I think he did say the 95th percentile of pressure. I am still new to all the data measurements. Sorry.
Regardless, the feature is turned off..... Sorry Slinky for the confusion.

Shucks, Busa, no need for you to be sorry. I just figgered the Resmed guy was the one using the wrong term and misleading you/us. I'm rather disappointed that they are being so coy about this and not just 'fessing up to the fact that its a boo-boo in the internal software. I mean, its not like it is any big deal, the data is there and reported in the Clinicans' Menu Efficacy Data and by the software. Frustrating for the patient w/access to the detailed patient menu tho!!!! I'm sure Resmed gets pretty fed up w/some of the STUPID FDA regulations and restrictions that don't apply in the rest of the world. It would be sooooo much EASIER for all of us, patients and manufacturers if FDA would wise up and allow us to be openly provided w/our data and some reasonable control over our own therapy. We're just as intelligent as diabetics!!!
