Sleepyhead software: how do I interpret leak data?

Post by ellen1159 » Mon Feb 15, 2016 4:39 pm

Haven't been on this board for quite some time. Got a new mask, F&P Eson, and I wanted to know what is an acceptable range for leaks on Sleepyhead?

leak range varies from brand to brand of machine, your respironics machine has a 'large leak' flag that it will show in sleepyhead when it doesn't like how much leak you're having. there's no set acceptable range.

that said, in general, less is better.
