Too much STATIC showing in OSCAR Flow Rate

[PappaJoe]

Hello
Will someone suggest which perimeter to change to adjust out the static in my flow rate?
(I use a V-com in the circuit)

[PappaJoe]

Here is another night of 'static'.
It seems like every dial has been turned this way and that, but still the noise persist.
Thanks in advance for any comment.

I don'/t know what the static is or how to fix it.  But you have high flow limits.  We treat the flow limits are treated using EPR.

I would set you machine to  EPR FULL TIME
EPR 3.

Looks like EPR 3 full time is already on, so you may need to go to AutoSet mode and put in a range, for purposes of addressing your question. You're at static pressure 12.4 now so switch to the mentioned AutoSet mode and try a max of 15 or so.

With the large amount of flow limits, after EPR, it demands higher pressure.

[PappaJoe]

Thank you for your advice.
I'm concerned about flow limit as well.
Unfortunately, EPR is already set to 3.
Do you have a 'then try this...' procedure?

[SarcasticDave94]

Your machine is listed as an 11, is that the AutoSet? If yes, you'll need to change the CPAP to AutoSet mode and add a pressure range from your static 12.4 to 12 - 15. See if that helps.

This is the then try this unless you are motivated enough to get a VAuto.

[PappaJoe]

Taking offered advice (kind of) attached are the results.
Chose the BiPAP to get more range.
Unfortunately, as you know, it doesn't give detailed Flow Limit data.
So I cloned zooms.
Started the night with EPAPmin 9  IPAPmax 16
Switched to 12 and 18 at bathroom break.

I'm wondering how this looks to you?
What do you think?

Thanks for taking the time to help.

It's going be difficult for me to compare the ResMed 11 CPAP to a Philips Respironics SV Auto, they're very different. The SV Auto may be a bilevel, but it's a specialized device as had been mentioned before.

Which do you feel is the better therapy? I do think switching between vastly different machine types is going to hinder somewhat. You're going to be hard pressed to know what works and what doesn't. You'll likely need to choose one and stick with it. Just my opinion.

I agree with Dave.  In order to see what settings work it would be best to use the ResMed machine and make the changes on it that Dave suggested.  The Philips ASV is simply a different animal altogether and is primarily used for high CAs, which are not your problem.

[PappaJoe]

Okay.
Point conceded.

Back to the Resmed 11 tonight.
Will use suggested settings.

Thank y'all for your assistance.
