questions re: Interpreting my vpap auto 25 data.........
1) leak data today was 0.22 L/s. At my last visit, The DME number using ResScan was L/min:
median :0.0, 95th percentile 8.4 and Maximum 146.4.
sorry to say that i dont recall the meaning of 95th percentile and how the number of 8.4 was established based on the above ResScan reading and Maximum what? ResScan is using L/min...my machine is using L/s...how do I convert or dont I?
2) My AHI today on the auto 25 was 15.1....the AI was 0.7....How do i know what the HI is?
and if my AHI is that high and my leak rate within normal limits today then what would be causing the AHI to be that high when the machine is in auto mode....
Thanks claudette

0.4 L/s = 24 L/M
The 95th centile is the level AT OR BELOW which you spent 95 per cent of the night.
Subtract AI from AHI and that will give you the HI
Your AI is below 1.0 which is good. Resmeds tend to score HIs more aggressively than other brands of xPAPs. I don't remember your pressure settings but how much time it takes your device to respond adequately to hypopneas is governed to some degree by the spread of the pressure range. The wider the range the slower the response.
