leaks leaks leaks

Me again... The past few nights my leak numbers have been through the roof. I have the F&P Premo and I'm using the FX pillows. I am assuming that the readings, as high as 174 last night, are cause by my mouth being opened by the pressure (10). I've read that a chin strap can help, any other alternat...

leak rates?

I am using the F&P Icon Premo. The leak rate says "50 l/min"'. What are the acceptable limits for leaks? I'm using nose pillows.

I have been using the F&P ICON PREMO for about two weeks now. The very first night I had the most restful sleep in memory and was full of vi...
