I have not heard of an AirSense model called Respond. Perhaps it is not North American? The common models are the AutoSet, AutoSet for Her, Elite, and CPAP. All but the CPAP model capture detailed data on the SD card. The first thing to check for is to see if there is a SD card in it. It will be in a slot on the left upper side that has a flexible cover that you have to pull back to get at the card.

You can click on this hot link to find OSCAR: OSCAR

It is free to download, but requires a SD card reader and a PC or Mac to run it. If there is a card in your machine it should have all your past data on it. If there is no card and it is a model that supports detailed data collection you will have to install a 4 to 43 GB card. They normally come from the factory with a 4 GB card.

I can't make a lot of sense of the test result numbers as they seem to be event counts and not in events per hour. Normally there is an events per hour number of each type of event which is added up to give a total AHI. Ideally one wants the AHI to be under 5. But this said you do seem to have a lot of obstructive events which means you should benefit from a CPAP machine.

There should be no need to get that Fitchecker for advice on mask fit. Your machine should have a display that has a happy face if leaks are ok, and a red unhappy face if leaks are too high. OSCAR provides a much better display of your leaks though. See an example of the OSCAR report below. There is a leak rate graph that shows the minute to minute leaks during the night. The gray areas highlight when leaks go over the "leak redline". You can see a couple of those events at 5:00 and 6:20.

There is also a detailed sleep report on your machine if it is set up properly. First lets start by figuring out if your machine has a SD card and if it supports OSCAR. Here is a link to a detailed manual on the AirSense 10 that may be of some help.
