Healthy person sample Oscar Export available for comparison?

Healthy person sample Oscar Export available for comparison?
I was wondering if anyone had, would be willing to share, or knows where I can find a sample Oscar data import of a "healthy" person. I want to compare my own results to what ideal results should be. People who share their exports on this board all have problems, hence why we are here :-). A healthy dataset is hard to find.

In particular I'm curious to compare my flow rate graph and my flow limitation graph. Some nights I may have only 2-4 event flags the entire night but frequent flow limitations that don't get logged as events. Suffering from chronic fatigue despite CPAP therapy.

I've seen cases where people can no apnea type events register, but the frequent flow limitations are still enough to cause sleep arousals.

Thanks for that! Scanned through the video and saw some graphs for a "normal" person. The flow rate graph made sense, but they didn't have a seperate graph for flow limits for a night's sleep session.

Is it assumed that if you have normal flow rate graph that you would have a flat graph with 0's across the board for the flow-limit graph?

I believe so. A person with no OSA must have zero or very low flow limits. 

Nota bene: the flow limit is assessed statistically, so its figure depends on the number of occurrences vs. the total number of observations. Also, different software on different instruments/manufacturers have different FL criteria. Hence, the FL and AHI numbers should be taken with a grain of salt;  it is better to use them to characterize the tendencies of treatment outcomes.
