myAir score
myAir calculates your score by analyzing your nightly therapy data. The higher your score, the better. You get points based on the following four key categories.
Usage hours
The point system for usage is calculated in hours and minutes. If you use your therapy for 1 hour you get 10 points, or for 2.3 hours (2 hours, 18 minutes) you get 23 points. The more time you use your therapy, the more points you receive, up to a maximum of 70 points.
Mask seal
The better your mask seal, the more points you get. This category can help you know if you need to adjust or change your mask to get a better fit. If your mask seal is poor, it can affect your comfort and the quality of your treatment. Your score reduces as your mask leak increases. You can get up to 20 points for a minimal mask leak, 10 to 15 points for a moderate leak, and 0 to 10 points for a higher leak.
Events per hour
The fewer breathing events you have each hour, the more points you get. These breathing events are also known as the apnea-hypopnea index (or AHI). myAir measures how many times your breathing partially or fully stops each hour. If you have minimal events, you get 4 to 5 points.
Mask on/off
The fewer times you take your mask on and off throughout the night, the more points you get. Everyone has to take their mask on and off one time during treatment. So, for example, if you remove your mask one or two times, you get 5 points. However, if you take your mask on and off several times, it can indicate a problem with mask fit or with your sleep in general.

Mask fitting issues
Throughout the Test Drive process, myAir will monitor for mask air leak issues. In the event that a mask air leak issue is detected, myAir will display mask troubleshooting tips specific to your mask. Follow the on-screen prompts and instructions. Once your detects the mask air leak issue has been resolved, you will be notified and returned to Test Drive. Additionally, myAir will notify the user if Test Drive failed due to a device error. To understand and resolve the error, please refer to the front panel of your device and the AirSense 11 user guide.
