Progress report
I have not posted in some time and just want to give a short report..

I have been using my machine since October 2016. Things are going well , i am sleeping about 7.5 hours a night.. I have got used to the mask and hose and kind of take it for the usual thing now...I did have some problems do to skin reaction with rubber on mask.. I cut cloth and make a gasket between skin and rubber..
not much else to report, it is working for me.. I sleep better and dream more..My 90 percent average is between 9 and 12 pressure..*smile* Dave441442

Hi David44142,
Glad that you have your pressure dialed in and that the therapy is working for you.

RE: Progress report
It would be interesting of you posted a sleepyhead chart too. The dreamstation can be a bit slow to respond to some events and seems to work better if the minimum is closer to the 95% pressure. Without seeing the chart, if this is 11, a min 9 could be in order.
mask fit http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...ask_Primer
For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure.
