I am attempting to go back to my BiPAP machine as the Insoire sleep device surgery I had from being intolerant to pap machines has been a miserable failure for me. I have given them a year to figure out how to make it work and it doubled my ahi from 50s to 97 an hour after getting the new sleep report with the device on. Going back to BIPAP have a heck of a time keeping the mask on long enough to get good data and wanted to know if I changed the settings first night and got 1.5 hours of usage and then changed settings again the second night and got 2.5 hours of use can someone one guide me on dialing in the right settings with whatever program? Read about OSCAR but I am new to all
this.
I couldn't attach as a file no matter how hard I tried! Heres the data below again only able to use 2.5 hours last night and an 1 hour the prior night. Please help with settings as my $40000 Inspire device has been a big issue for me. Trying to use Bipap again as last ditch. Just need proper settings to keep it on god willing. My cell is 4803296870 and I appreciate any help at this point.

Can you guys see the data I copy and pasted from Oscar? It won’t let me attach but I would be glad to email anyone on here that can help me dial it in based on the last 3.5 hours of use over two nights. I haven’t had a good range that’s why I changed from first night of reusing for an hour to last night. Can you guys see my Oscar details I posted? I can’t see it like I thought it would go along with this thread. I remember when I first got it setting the pressure at 1 was more tolerable but I doubt that’s effective. Not sure on anything with this device besides I know I need to try my best and use it given the failure of all other devices and surgical implants.

This appears to be a continuous obstruction with recovery breaths. The chart shows a high flow limitation but I need to get zooming in on a 2-3 minute segment of the flow rate. It seems clear you need higher EPAP min. In the chart, you are using 4.0, and I suggested 6.0. We use the EPAP pressure to keep the airway patent against obstruction and it's clear 4.0 is not enough, and I'm guessing 6.0 won't be enough. As I recommended previously:
Based on the data you listed manually, start your Aircurve 10 vauto with the following settings:
EPAP min: 6.0
IPAP max 16.0
PS: 4.0
