Definitely fixed pressure looks like the way to go for you. Congrats on taking the initiative to keep a close eye on your therapy! All the best going forward.

Hi Nito
I yearned for an APAP as I was only dispensed with a CPAP. So I bought one. Now I am not so sure that APAP is the panacea and will also return to constant pressure soon to to compare.
So it is as the medical profession trials it for straight sleep apnea, a constant pressure is something to test out with in the first instance as varying pressure may not necessarily work out for the better. Of course with the Resmed APAP, one can turn to constant pressure but not with the Elite A10.

Another way of using APAP is putting the minimum and max pressures the same. You get the fix pressure plus the data for flow limitations and snores.

You can also put the min on the average 95% or a touch more. the max 3cm above that. That is equal to a fixed pressure min and the max will handle a bad night.

Silly Question: Does anybody know why the SleepyHead version of Software I use doesn´t show RERAs in yellow in the graphs and pie chart?
I´ve seen screenshots of other users that have this information but it never appears on my screenshots.
Any ideas will be very welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance!

It's because your machine doesn't record RERA's.

Thanks Walla Walla I didnt know that.....
Only Dreamstations record RERAs?

I think Walla Walla is correct, but mabye other S9 users can confirm.
Phillips Respironics and newer ResMed AirSense 10 and AirSense 10 for Her show RERA’s.

You are correct OpalRose! S9's don't report/show RERA's
