Replied to in your thread where you asked the same question. Only mentioning it here so that people won't feel the need to answer the question again here unless they just want to.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

I did register for MyAir with my ResMed machine which is pretty useless and doesn't tell you what the leak rate was.
I also downloaded sleepyhead and it does show me the leak rate but I am not sure what is considered acceptable.
Along with what cancun asked, I've learned through your posts that 30 is unacceptable. But I'm a newbie, 3 weeks on the Resmed 10 Autoset. My leak reports started at 10 for a couple of days. Then went to 11, then 12, and today 13. They are a lot less than 30. But at what number range should I begin to look at it as a potential problem?

Many thanks for your forum, and your advice!
