Looking for Advice with Pressure Settings

Looking for Advice with Pressure Settings
Hello,
I've recently switched from a Dreamstation 2 back to an original Dreamstation which I prefer. I've been using it for a week now and feel that my results are acceptable and am sleeping well but am interesting in seeing if my settings could be tweaked to optimize results.
I've attached an OSCAR screenshot from last night.  Thanks for your thoughts!

RE: Looking for Advice with Pressure Settings
I don't see anything I would change in settings other than to consider getting a Resmed. The Dreamstation machines are all recalled for deteriorating foam insulation that has been associated with health problems in users of these machines. https://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread...-ONE-USERS If you have not registered both of your CPAPs for replacement or cash settlement, do so now. The link to register your machines is in the Immediate Actions section of this wiki. https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.ph...ecall_2021

Thanks for the advice but my Dreamstation is a replacement for a recalled device. It should not have the aforementioned issue.

The only way to know is if you tell us. Settings still look good, and nothing suggests you need higher pressure, in fact with fixed pressure of 8.5, the machine would not do the 1.5 cm higher pressure evaluation that is part of the auto algorithm.
