RE: Need help understanding the flow chart
The good news is, no leaks. I think you may have gotten around the collar at times, but let's go with some more pressure if you are comfortable with that. 9.5 minimum to 14 maximum. Your events are all obstructive at this point, and very little hypopnea. Don't be frustrated, just make minor adjustments and try again. Good luck!

RE: Need help understanding the flow chart
I'm fine with more pressure. I just have to start of with ramp or it seems to cause the silicone to flutter. I had to put a new SD card in the other day and it seemed to immediately go up after the switch. Have you ever heard of this before?

RE: Need help understanding the flow chart
We can take a closeup look at the flow rate where the pressure increase happens. I'm sure there are clues in the details.

RE: Need help understanding the flow chart
Sleeprider, Here are 3 charts since we changed the pressure up to 14. I am really confused as to how I can add a collar, tape my mouth and wear a full F20 Airtouch face mask and have as many snoring events that I am having. I guess I need to change my username to "SuperJaw."
