Mask seal
Mask seal
The first couple months using my machine went fantastic. No mask seal issues. (I use the nose pillows) For the last couple weeks though, I've been getting a sad face and 0 out of 20 score. I've recently got a new nose piece and after the first night I got a happy face but for the last 3 nights it's back to sad face, 0 out of 20. Anybody got any advice?
Re: Mask seal
Don't know what mask or machine you are using, but I would look at pillow size and or mouth breathing.

Re: Mask seal
You need to download sleepyhead so you can see what is happening on a breath-by-breath basis and n0t rely on the display or myair for assessing your treatment. there is a link at the top of the page to download sleepyhead, it free and worth many times that.

Re: Mask seal
The only machine I know of that gives Mr Smiley or Mr Frowny for mask fit is a ResMed machine of some sort.
Hopefully he/she doesn't have a brick that won't/can't give any useful idea as to what the mask leak actually was...like was it a lot of time spent at 27 L/min which won't really impact anything that much or 47 L/min which could seriously impact therapy, recording, sensing, etc.
