Please help. I must quickly, accept or reject an unfamiliar VAuto by 3PM PDT, Sun 5/5

Awesome numbers.
You should always include Events in your graphs as tells us when events occur.
With these kinds of numbers how you feel is more important than numbers.

The only potentially disrupting thing I see is your flow limitations which are not included in the AHI calculations. To see if these can be reduced try a PS of 4 and increase your max pressure by 1 to give the PS room to work. IPA0 = EPAP + PS
Note how you feel at these settings vs last night's settings. I consider this an optional change

Excellent, and I agree with Fred. Hope you're feeling as good as this looks.

My (2SB's) replies to bonjour have been inserted in blue-colored font:
Awesome numbers. Agreed. Hard to believe my eyes. I think last night was even better.
You should always include Events in your graphs as tells us when events occur. Done, as below.
With these kinds of numbers how you feel is more important than numbers. Feel great despite short sleep, not being able to get back to sleep after a trip to toilet.

The only potentially disrupting thing I see is your flow limitations which are not included in the AHI calculations.  To see if these can be reduced try a PS of 4 and increase your max pressure by 1 to give the PS room to work. IPA0 = EPAP + PS I made the changes. Looks like a definite reduction in FL last night, plus, as last posted, snore has nearly been eliminated.
Note how you feel at these settings vs last night's settings. Usually, after less than 6 hours (machine time "sleep") I feel it, drag a bit and don't feel "with it", but don't seem to tonight (2150 PDT now). I doubt it's placebo effect. I consider this an optional change.

See chart below and pictures of AirCurve summary screens for last night. (The graphics are not evident in the PREVIEW, but they do show as numbered attachments. Hope they post or  I must find the way to do it.)

Many thanks, Sleeprider, for keeping me from choosing a different device, for encouragement and the site with helps from you and the team of experts at AB who have continually brought me along to this point.

 Both the helps specific to my posts, as in this thread from bonjour and others, and the helps from observing the assistance given to others the past 3 1/2 years have been invaluable.  As I mentioned just above, I think I'm unusually "chipper" after a short sleep, thanks to the VAuto and good advice.

A related matter: It looks to me like a lot of the sleep motions I've seen coinciding with FR spikes at snores (the Autoset-SH combination would present) was motion-caused breathing irregularity rather than snore-caused motion. I need to revisit synchronized graphs of motions and flow irregularities to see if that surprising first impression holds true; it looks like the VAuto cleans up both  breathing and (possibly) false signaling of snore when one moves during sleep. A preliminary look-see indicated a larger than usual number of the FR spikes did not align with a snore reported by the AirCurve-SH combination. 


I will post what I find and believe it should be in a thread apart from this thread that requested purchase-decision help. I hope those who can interpret the graphics far better than I will comment and that something useful emerges. The topic is fascinating apart from preoccupation with personal health.

Yet again another success story. I'm hoping someone at AB keeps score?
