Dear diboja,

What you found out is helpful! I'd only come across the "less than 5" part before.
Our guidelines we follow for CA, OSA etc are as follows.
AHI less than 5 - yours is under
CA less than 5 - yours is under
OSA less than 5 or less than 10 with patient experiencing great benefit from cpap. yours is under
Leaks less than 50LPM -yours is under and very good.
Periodic breathing less than 3- yours is under
Vib snore and flow limitation we don't analyze as closely at according to our reps.
RERA less than 12 -and yours is under.
Your download is great, no concerns, apneas under control, great mask fit.
By the way, to my knowledge, the PRS1 CPAP machines don't report FL. I understand the APAP's do, but only when running in Auto mode (not straight-pressure CPAP).
