The machine will give you a red frowny face if your leaks exceed 24 L/min for 70% of the time or more.

It's 30% or more of the time above 24L/min.

Total leaks or excess leaks?

We had neighbors who lost a toddler, due to finding his mother's iron supplement. This was in the early 60's. Almost anything can be deadly. Kids are very clever at getting things open. "Child-safe" containers are little more than a challenge to a bored child. Lock and key is better; at least until ...

Right after my post, I watched Adam Savage build a guitar case for Eric Idle on YT.

I would trust what you see on the machine itself.
That data is closer to the source--and MyAir is slightly suspect, IMHO.

So, "Mask of patient's choice" is no longer acceptable?
That kind of makes it harder to get started successfully.

Sometimes I need me a little Monty Python.
Silly makes the world go round.

Cellular signals are dependent on the locations of cell towers, as seen outdoors. --big, tall constructions, with large-ish dish antennae hanging off the side. Wi-fi requires a compatible device within a few FEET, like in McD's or at home. The hardware is very small, as is the signal strength. Linka...

If you are looking at a flexible valve at the front of a full face mask, that is the ANTI-ASPHYXIA valve. It should be closed unless your machine is not running, like in a power outage. The exhaust vents always release gases while the cpap is running. They wash out carbon dioxide, which you want gon...

Does Trident contain xylitol?
I hear that's why xylimelts work.
If so, Trident could be an alternative to xylimelts.
Thank you, Granny, for sharing.

Maybe OP's doctor has a different definition of "severe".

Different than The Standards of Practice?

Don't walk away.

Run.

So, no doctor has ever placed his OPINION above professional standards?
It happens all the time.

Or a FLIR (infrared) camera.
My heated tubing never feels "warm" to my skin.
(Skin temperature is usually significantly lower than body temperature.)

Maybe OP's doctor has a different definition of "severe".
Then again, simple numbers may be weighted by comorbidities.
--as they should be.

I was not being mean, zonker.
I just got busy.

Our local water is 13 grains hard; and reverse osmosis water leaves a white powder. RO does not correct hard water. Our distiller is similar to the one posted by Zonker, but candy apple red. The bullfrog has to delime it very frequently to maintain efficiency. It still beats the heck out of buying j...

But can Oscar deal with this sh#t?
Too bad Resmed is moving backwards.
Edit: I figured as much; so a month ago I stopped my 13+ year habit
of keeping a journal of my daily data on screen.
My next machine will likely be a Resmed--so frustration diverted.
