Not terrible but I would try min 8 and see if that helps.

If you are an active sleeper and at risk for pulling the machine, you should use a tube-holder so that the tube rises from the machine and descends to your sleeping position. A 3M Command Hook is ideal for hanging the CPAP tubing, and you can use a lanyard or other loop of string to hang the tube from the hook. I have my machine in a bedside drawer with a 2-inch hole in the back for the tubing and power. This isolates any noise and eliminates any possibility of pulling the machine off.

I agree with advise to increase minimum pressure to 8.0. Your therapy time and efficacy is improving.

Well slept half a night with it but I guess I took it off. Card showed there was no data… could the unit be damaged after I flipped it over and water got in? Will try again tonight.

Full nights rest last night. Does the data show the machine turning off because the last 1.5 hours not showing up in data and I felt like machine was off. Don't feel very rested even though was the best night I've had with it.

Oscar data attached. Anything I should change?

There are leak spikes at the session breaks that suggest the machine may have detected a leak and shut-down. It's not normal for this machine to shut down on such brief small leaks, but also not unknown. Change the autostart settings so that the machine requires a button push to turn on and off.

Thank you. Will make that change. Keep everything else the same?

Nothing I can think of to change. On your posted charts please be sure to minimize the monthly calendar so more data shows up.
