Hi  Claudia62!  -  Welcome
Here is the OSCAR help manual.  I have listed the link to the French translation.

Also, you can use Google Translate for both posting and reading.

If you are referring to AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index), then that is fairly good. Please follow the directions in my signature and post an image of your Daily screen here. How do you feel?

RE: need to read OSCAR diagnostic please help
First, you need to show the Details panel on the left.  It has important statistical information.   Also, restore the default graph order.  They are listed in order of importance.  For your CPAP type use, View > Reset Graphs > Standard.  The "Advanced" view is for the more advanced CPAP models.   You can turn off the VS2 event reporting in the Events.  The VS2 channel will record things like the hose ribs dragging across the edge of the night stand.  It does not provide anything useful and clutters up the graphs.

The data I would try sending your doctor would be the Statistics page and the Overview screen, configured with a 45-day date range. You would print both of these to a PDF file instead of your normal printer. Being on a Windows PC, you can download a free PDF printer, like Bullzip or CutePDF Writer. After you install it, it will appear as a printer option when you select a document to print.

Here is a link to CutePDF Writer: https://www.cutepdf.com/download/CuteWriter.exe

RE: need to read OSCAR diagnostic please help
First, my apologies.  I didn't realize that in French, the AHI is reversed to IAH.  Going forward from here, when taking a screenshot, make sure that you are scrolled to the top of the page.  That will allow us to see your flow rate and pressure graphs. Anyway, based on what I see, you are either sleeping on your back or tucking your chin while asleep.  Your pressure range seems to be good.  A 12 cm to 16 cm would work, too.  

I had edited my previous post to include a reply about the data to provide your doctor.  Since you have posted while I was editing my post, I will repeat it here.  If you read it above, you can ignore it here. Smile
