RE: Adjustments
How long have you been using the machine? Was the min pressure of 13 what you were titrated at or something you set as a starting point?
Using FlashAir W-03 SD card in machine. You can download your data through wifi with FlashPAP or Sleep Master utilities.
I wanted to learn Binary so I enrolled in Binary 101. I seemed to have missed the first four courses.  Stick it to the man, Download OSCAR and take back control of your data! Thanks Ian. Like I didn't have enough Honey-Do projects to tackle.

RE: Adjustments
Some odd stuff going on here. It looks like you might tolerate lower pressure, and I would change the Flex setting to 1 or off. It might be interesting to dig into some of the anomalies in the flow rate chart to wee what is going on around the events and why exhale seems imbalanced around 3:20. You seem to have a very high respiration rate and very imbalanced inhale:exhale ratio. Any pulmonary issues you are aware of?

RE: Adjustments
I've monkeyed around with several masks, the Quattro, Swift LT, and both types of Dreamwear masks. Not aware of any pulmonary issues, but the graphs sometimes show weird things going on. I started on a pressure of 12, and have self adjusted over the last year since I've had the Dreamstation.

Getting the right mask is probably the biggest thing we all face using CPAP, apart from getting used to CPAP itself that is. Good luck and welcome.
