Any recommendations based on this data? - imsmitty3 - 10-27-2021
Been on CPAP for 2 months now and this is my first time trying out Oscar. Any useful information to be gleaned here?

It really looks good. I can’t see you EPR setting but with a minn6 it can only be set to 2. That is because the lowest setting that any Cpap can go is 4. Min 6 minus EPR 2 is 4, the lowest it can go.
I would suggest you make a small change - you probably won’t even notice. But if you look at your pressures, when they go up - check your flow limits, they are what is pushing your pressure up.
To lessen your flow limits you need to raise your EPR and to do that you have to have a min of 7.
So set your min 7 and EPR 3.

What Stacey said.
Set min=7 and
EPR=3
Note this is not required.
With your low numbers how you feel becomes more important so critically evaluate how you feel with your current settings and again with the new settings. The ones that feel better are the ones you should keep.
