RE: Flow Rate Chart Question
If you can zoom into a 2-minute segment of that period, I suspect you will find the flattened inspiratory peaks typical of flow limitation. We really can't interpret flow when zoomed out so far the individual respiratory wave is not visible.

Thanks for taking the time to make a review.
2min from center of occurrence.

RE: Flow Rate Chart Question
There are some flow limits in there, but most of this looks like a normal respiratory wave. It may be shallower, but more breaths per minute. Have you thought of looking at the respiratory rate and tidal volume graphs in combination with this? I'm thinking this is your REM.

Right now about the only part of OSCAR that I am confident is working 100% with my machine is the Flow Rate Chart. I also believe that the INSP and EXT Charts appear to be on target. I use them sometimes in place of tidal volume. Sometimes the Tidal Vol works great and more often not.
Great stab at it as I was thinking deep or rem myself. Hoping anyway.
Real glad it looks normal.
CPAP is a lifesaver, but obtaining a good nights sleep is also very important. That being said, I'd like to be able to better read the chart for light, deep and rem sleep and try to improve my rem and deep sleep.
Physically, I can tell if I am getting rem and deep throughout my waking day. I'm using a camera to record my sleep and improve my sleep.
