Normal flow rate or no?

Normal flow rate or no?

RE: Normal flow rate or no?
Although there are some bumps here and there and FLs, the curves are not particularly concerning.
I am not familiar with your instrument's hardware settings, but I would increase the pressure difference between EPAP and IPAP to reduce FLs and Hs by increasing IPAP.

RE: Normal flow rate or no?
On my instrument I can only adjust min, max pressure and softPAP(which is alike to EPR) - 2, 1 and off.
It was set to 2. I have now disabled it, and this is the new data: I'm still seeing these notches which look like FL to me, but oscar is not measuring them as FL. Should I increase my min pressure?

RE: Normal flow rate or no?
If you can only adjust the Min/Max, I suggest steering the min to 8 cm, max to 12 cm, and softPAP to 2.

RE: Normal flow rate or no?
If softPAP is like EPR, then you should increase it because it mitigates FLs in the auto regime. NB You used it earlier, too. And now, you have been suggested to increase your minimum pressure simultaneously.
