So far I have gone thru 5 different nasal masks and keep returning to the P10 the problem is that it irritates my nostrils is it ok to apply a little lanolin before putting the mask on?

How do you know if you have leaks?

Understanding the resScan report
I have been trying to understand the pressure stats on the resScan report
I have the max pressure set to 11.4 the report says:
Median 9.4 95th percentile 11.2. Maximum 11.4
Is the median the average pressure it runs at ? what is the 95th percentile?
Thanks
Ed

Yes a VPAP (ResMed term for bilevel pressure machine) could very well make a big difference in the aerophagia (the bloating) issues you are having but the S9 AutoSet can be made to mimic the bilevel machines up to a point.
