As pugsy and I have both pointed out: We NEED to know where those leak numbers are coming from.marybarnes wrote: My Machine is PR System one and is showing leaks over 65%.

I slept 8.3 hours with leakage of 63%-I feel fantastic this am. The previous night was awful with 5 hours therapy and Mask Leakage 28%.I was exhausted. Obviously the leakage rate is better but imagine what I would feel like if I could limit it to 80% or better..Is that possible?
The interpretation of the numbers depends on where they're coming from.
If they're Leak % numbers from the machine's LCD, then the numbers represent the time spent in LARGE LEAK territory, and even 28% is way too much. And the higher the number, the bigger the leaks are, and the less effective the therapy is.
If they're Mask Fit % numbers coming from SleepMapper, then the numbers represent how much time you DIDN'T have significant leaking going on. And the higher the number, the FEWER and SMALLER the leaks are and the better the effectiveness of the therapy is.
If they're Leak or Total Leak numbers from SleepyHead or Encore Basic/Pro, then they likely represent the average Leak or Total Leak rate for the night, and whether they're good, bad, or indifferent depends on the mask you are using.
So we really and truly need to know where you are getting those numbers from in order to help you make sense of them.
