Was that the only session included on both your charts and your CSV?
RE: JasonR newbie... looking for advice! - JasonR - 10-14-2022
Yes, one session last night and I ran the CSV for yesterday only.

Re: masks
I like the Evora FFM but it's louder than the F30 FFM...
The F30 is a bit of a diva when it comes to adjusting to control leaks (and comfort) but it's significantly quieter than the Evora.
Tighter on straps is NOT better on either, seems both need the top strap especially a little more loose than seems intuitive.
Just my 2 cents, ymmv.

Thanks @Brazen! I ended up trying the F30i. It was ok... I found the leaks off to the sides of the mask were a problem. I had more success with the F20 Airtouch. I haven't gone back to my DME to pickup my supplies yet but I'll be sure to ask to try the Evora FFM.
@Gideon, I created a new profile in Oscar and only loaded one days worth of data. The csv and screen captures are attached. The FL numbers are off. I verified the stats summary on the detail page is correct by loading the same data to SleepHQ.

It's not just the Flow Limitations, the Pressure and EPAP values also differ between the Statisitics Panel and the csv file.
Clearly, more investigation is needed, and I will report back as I find out more.

Hi All! It's been a while! Hope everyone is doing OK! I've recently acquired a used VAuto and have been trying it out. There are a couple things I find strange. It seems like the mask vent is registering as a leak... not sure why? Is that normal on a VAuto? Also, I assumed PS 2 over 14-16 would be equivalent to 16 EPR 2 on my AS10 but I guess not!

I seemed to have great success when I first tried the VAuto (PS4 10/14): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MarxQcFytUS44OCj1EPAv6zLMEtMKaOk/view?usp=sharing

But then the CA's crept up for some reason! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MbXGiGtlGd1plCE8w1yAmJ4l4HzMUzLB/view?usp=sharing

Am I better to stick with the AS10 on EPR3 or keep trying the VAuto?? I've read multiple posts about folks switching to the VAuto and finding it great. Just not sure what I'm doing wrong!
