Understanding your myAir score
Your myAir dashboard features a daily report for each therapy session. This report includes your total myAir score, plus the four factors that are added together to create that daily score.
Usage Hours
What does it measure? Total hours you use your CPAP each night
Maximum number of points? 70 points for 7+ hours of therapy
How is it scored? Add 10 points for every hour of therapy
Why does it matter? Consistent usage ensures effective treatment of your sleep apnea and leads to better sleep quality.
Mask Seal
What does it measure? How much air your CPAP mask leaks during therapy
Maximum number of points? 20 points for a leak rate of under 17 L/min
How is it scored? Lose 1 point for every 1–2 liters of air after you hit 16.9 L/min
Why does it matter? A secure mask seal ensures that your CPAP air is going where it’s supposed to.
Events Per Hour
What does it measure? Average number of sleep apnea and hypopnea events per hour
Maximum number of points? 5 points for fewer than 7 events per hour
How is it scored? Lose 1 point for every 1–3 additional events after 7
Why does it matter? Fewer events indicate that your therapy is working and your sleep apnea is under control.
Mask On/Off Events
What does it measure? How many times you remove your mask
Maximum number of points? 5 points for fewer than 3 times
How is it scored? Lose 1 point for each additional removal beyond
Why does it matter? Taking your mask off interrupts your therapy session and leads to large air leaks.
What is a good myAir score?
| Score | Grade | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | Perfect | You use your machine all night long and experience minimal leaks. |
| 90 | Excellent | You use your machine all night or most of the night and experience few to minimal air leaks. |
| 80 | Great | You use your machine for most of the night but experience some leaks. |
| 70 | Good | You’re using your machine for most of the night but may be taking your mask off every once in a while. |

What does the myAir app cost?
Good news! The myAir app is completely free to download and use. It offers tremendous value for managing your CPAP therapy without any additional cost.
How many sleep apnea events should I have on myAir?
Ideally, you'll have as few sleep apnea events as possible. That said, fewer than 5 per hour is considered "normal", while fewer than 7 will earn you the maximum number of points toward your myAir score.
How can I improve my myAir sleep score?
Your myAir sleep score depends on four things: how many hours of therapy, air leaks, sleep apnea events, and how many times you take your mask off.
To improve your myAir score, set small hourly goals and work your way up. Use AutoRamp to drift off to sleep. Check your mask fit and try a new style of mask if needed. Lastly, keep your mask clean and replace worn parts.
