Please explain airsense term on clinical settings - rebean - 08-11-2023

I've been keeping a small spreadsheet on my airsense 11 ...every morning I go into the clinical settings view and mark down the stats (no, I do not have a card, card reader or the oscar software).  I'm glad I have..not only has my sync been off with the resmed air app since late July but it helps me to see the patterns that are or are not working.  

The are two stats I'd love it if someone could explain:  

It says Extended Period - and has a sub-menu that splits to: 
Extended Period: Used
Extended Period: Pressure.  

My stats have changed slightly - when I started it was more toward 8.3 and 8.9 (with the 2nd number going up sometimes to 9.1).  
Then my pressure settings got changed (I'm now 6-8 and have far less air in my belly) and consistently see 8.2 to 8.6 or 8.2 to 8.5 

I just want to understand this sub-menu.  Any thoughts?? 

Thanks.

Are these parameters not listed in the Clinician's manual for the AS11?  If you don't have a manual, one may be requested here:  https://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-pressure/change-cpap-pressure-settings-adjusting-your-machine-with-a-clinician-setup-manual#THREE

You will need to read through this webpage to get the instructions on obtaining one.
