Normal oxygen satuation is at least 90 - 97 % from what I have been told and read at related sites.

Anything over 40 RDIs (apnea events) is considered severe. So over 100 is severe. I will see if I can locate the web site where I read some statistics and has additional information. If I can find the site again I'll post another response so you can review what I have found so far.

My CPAP is set for 11 and I was told by DME supplier that falls in the middle.

Hope this information helps. Keep searching the net and you will find lots of info.
