Flow LIMIT data missing tried to search forum

Right-clicking by the label allows you to bring up dotted lines. I have one at median and one at 95%. Your last graph shows that leaks correlate with low SpO2, so that may be more important for you than flow limits.

What is the benefit or reasons to be able to view at median and also 95% please?

I wonder why the EVENT FLAG graph shows no lines for the majority of the leak period, yet the SpO2 graph indicates the major drop during the leak?  

But it is so confusing because WITHOUT a leak the EVENT FLAG graph shows lines (and some have very long times like the 25 minute drop) although the drop is not as dramatic in level.

And the OSCAR chart from the previous night has the most minimum leakage during that night and a very big drop in O2 with no leak.

Oy vey. Can't wait to go over this stuff at Mayo.

Sorry for the bother, but any thoughts on the last  post?

You don't need to set the dotted lines. For most people it helps to tell when the inspiration time has drifted higher than normal, but in your case, it's really easy to spot. It looks like you have TiMax set to 2.2, right?

You asked: "I wonder why the EVENT FLAG graph shows no lines for the majority of the leak period, yet the SpO2 graph indicates the major drop during the leak? "

I think that is because the machine can't detect events when it doesn't have pressure to measure it with.

I've noticed a correlation for myself between oxygen levels and how easy it is to breathe with my machine. I just switched machines and even though my settings are pretty similar, it's much more comfortable with the new machine and my oxygen levels have jumped up.

In your most recent graph, it looks like your machines stopped during the largest of the leaks, make sure you don't have auto stop set. It looks to me like your oxygen is holding pretty well when there aren't leaks or breaks, and you need to fine tune pressures when leaks in order to get a whole night of therapy. Worry less about events and more about continuous therapy.

I have to check, I think so.  I believe we did it last year.  I’ll let you know if it isn’t.

Hi TechiHippie.

I have a really really long thread in the forum documenting my journey.

I am just trying to prepare a presentation for my referral to the Mayo clinic.  My sleep doctors have told me they are unable to figure out what is wrong with me.  I have had no success on three different machines and at least five sleep studies have been done.  I have suffered with this condition since 2003.

I have 3 surgeries as well that were supposed to help and haven’t.

Just ask Sleeprider what I have been through, lol

I appreciate your comments though!
