Airsense 10 Autoset Too Much Pressure?

Airsense 10 Autoset Too Much Pressure?
New to this great forum - I've been using the Airsense 10 for 6-7 months and some nights I get this massive airflow coming into my F20 full face mask which wakes me up.
It seems the only way to stop the strong airflow is to turn the machine off and then back on (sometimes 2-3 times a night). This doesn't happen every night but maybe 3-4 times a week.
My sleep study had me at AHI 6 (allegedly)
My machine has me at an average AHI of 1.1
The machine is set to Auto 4cm to 20cm and EPR Level 1
Ramp is set to Auto.

I believe a setting or two needs to be adjusted but I have no idea where to start.
Thanks for any and all responses.

Welcome

For us to help you we need to see Oscar charts.  At the top of each page, you'll see a link to Oscar in the black section.  Click on that and you'll find instructions on how to use it.

Welcome to Apnea Board!

Your machine is at default settings.  Although, with an AHI average of 1.1 AHI, you're not doing too bad.  

I suspect that what you're feeling may be the result of flow limitation causing your pressure to ramp up high.

Let's try to narrow your pressure range to minimum 7cm, maximum 15cm, with EPR set at 2.  
This will give us some idea where to go from there.

We need to see some data......  Download the free OSCAR software.  Be sure you have an SD card inserted while you sleep.  After a night or two, come back to this thread and post a couple Screenshots from the Daily Page.

Thanks for the quick responses. I had no clue what OSCAR was before I joined this forum so I will download it and see if I can post some data soon.

Welcome to the forum MiRock72 Smile

As Opalrose stated please for now set your machine to these settings:

minimum 7cm, maximum 15cm, with EPR set at 1, ramp OFF

For now this will narrow down the pressure range and help with sleep-once we have Oscar data after this settings change we can see how you're doing with therapy.
