Respironics Auto M Series - Leaks ratio

Post by Andre56 » Fri Jan 26, 2007 6:41 am

I'm using a REMstar® Auto M Series with C-Flex for a week now and I use the Twilight NP mask.

I noticed that my average leaks for last week is at 9 lpm. Is this normal.

Do someone know what should be the minimum leak ratio to evacuate the CO2 ?

Nine is very low. My Hybrid runs 50 lpm, but you need more data.
It depends on your pressure. Furthermore, the chart should be in your mask manual.
