Newbie Feedback Requested

I've had my PR System One for about 3 weeks. I have notice a improvement in my quality of sleep. May it too early, but I feel the changes should have been more significant. From my sleep study to now, my AHI has drop from 104 to under 2. Comments?

Below, I've posted the Trend report from Encore Pro 2.4 software for 1 night and 1 week.

I can't see all of your report as one side is cut off, but I do notice some large leaks, probably the first thing to address. Kathy

How low should be the amount of large leaks? For last week, the numbers 3.4% and 13 minutes for time.

The summary pages are just averages. One huge large leak might impact these numbers but only affect one night.
Would be clearer to see the detail data pages to see what went on during each individual night instead of summary.

For an average, a 0% in large leak would be good.

Actually for being a newbie, you data isn't all that bad except for the large leak and that happens sometimes to the best of us.

It's really hard to comment when we see the summary pages, the daily details show the true picture.

Is the info needed?

Looks like the right report, can you enlarge it a bit so it is readable. Is it a typical night? Kathy

Do all your daily detail reports show up broken like that?
If so I suspect that you need to adjust the time zone in the software. By default Encore Pro 2.4 defaults to GMT time and I saw my reports split like that.
Go to Encore Pro 2, company settings tab, then preference tab and edit the time zone. It will tell you that it will change all reports but that is okay.

From what I saw the leak line is pretty ragged. I would say the leak needs to be worked on. It needs to be straighter..

I was able to view the report full size by clicking on it. Change your time zone and all your reports should flow better on the graphs.

Thanks Pugsy, I'm not able to click and enlarge, (an iPad shortcoming) didn't know about the GMT default. Kathy

I've correct the time zone setting. Here's new reports:

The leak needs to be worked on. Some of those peaks are quite high. Some of the VS (snores) reported may be from mask leak sounds. The software is reporting unintentional leak so all is excess leak. Need to have the line straighter and closer to zero.

All in all for being a newbie, not bad. You report feeling better and that is most important. Work on the mask fit and I think the other things will settle in.

Mask fit and leaks are the problem children of cpap therapy.

Well, I've order a Quattro Mask Liner from padacheek. Hopefully, this will help with the leaks.

Please keep us posted on how things go. Full Face masks can be a tough beast to tame. Karen's (Padacheek) innovations work quite well for many of us with various little problems. She makes a nice line of products.

Your machine can compensate for some leak so don't try to get a 0.0 average leak rate, it will just drive you nuts. Main thing is more consistent line (not so much up and down). Averages can be misleading sometimes so if the bulk of the night is pretty straight and rather low, a large leak can skew the overall average. You will soon be able to spot what I am talking about. The daily detail report with its graphs are IMO the best indicators of how things are going so I always just look at them to see how the night went. I don't pay a lot of attention to all the other averages since I am more concerned with what happened last night than how it averages out with the other nights.

Good luck and BTW welcome to the forum. I tend to zero in on problems and forget my manners.
