I set the pressure myself from 12 to 20. My data shows that my 90th percentile would eliminate apneas at 8.0 and the max was 12.0. I set the lower limit to 12 becasue I felt underventilated when it would come on at only 4.0. I felt like I was suffocating and felt claustrophobic. I found out how to use the clinical menu and increased the pressure on the device by myself. I set the lower limit to 12.0 because I figured that I would be above the level where I got events, and it just feels right to me. I feel like I am getting enough air. So, the 14.8 was my maximum pressure last night, and not my setting. Sorry for the confusion.
