Leak rate never changes

Post by SleepyRose » Thu Apr 02, 2009 6:45 am

My leak rate has been exactly 39 for the last week or so. Before that it would go from 38 to 40. Isn't it unusual for it to be exactly 39 consistantly? My AHI has fluctuated each nite but has stayed under 5. I just wonder if something is up with my machine or mask. Should I somehow check it?
Count my blessings?

I guess you could check it by taking your mask off for a minute while leaving the blower on. If that registers a leak, then you know your machine works and you cn start counting your blessings.

Thats a plan, thanks. I was brain dead (as usual) this AM or I would have figured that out.

Maybe.
