Looks like I am turning my machine on and off all night

RE: Looks like I am turning my machine on and off all night
Seeing your large leak events, I'm willing to bet that the Smart Start option is turning off your AS10. Based off your post above, this should now stop the problem.

RE: Looks like I am turning my machine on and off all night
I  have periods of mouth breathing that cause the large leaks,  but a full face mask doesn't work well for me.   My leaks go down,  but my AHI triples and I feel like I am smothered.   I will report back tomorrow and hopefully,  no more on/off all night.

I'd like to see the lower-left corner of the Daily page where it lists the sessions.

How old is your machine?

your flow limits look pretty bad, to the point of being disruptive.
minimize the calendar turn off the piechart or use F12 to take the screenshot so we can see your stats

try setting EPR=2, fulltime and repost per above.

RE: Looks like I am turning my machine on and off all night
Your machine is definitely turning off upon detection of large leak and restarting when it detects breathing. You need to be sure SmartStart is OFF. Your profile shows a Dreamstation and Dreamwear nasal mask. You may want to update the profile in the User CP (link at top right of page) and let us know in this thread what you are using. Leaks are bad, and lots of flow limits as Gideon noted. You are going to do better with EPR at 3 and of course fix the leaks.

RE: Looks like I am turning my machine on and off all night
Thank you everyone for your insight! No machine turn offs last night. Still have leak issues, but that is my mask. I have some additional things to try for that.

I have the EPR at 2 and will increase to 3. Have also had my wife design a liner for my nasal cushion so it doesn't get raw under my nose. Will tighten up the mask and see how it goes tonight.
