leak rate gigh / ahi low

Post by Crest » Thu May 28, 2009 11:23 am

Hello,

If my leak rate is on the high side (34-38, should be 28)but my Ahi is low (.04-1.5), is ther any concern ?

The AHI numbers are worthless until you get the leaks under control.

How can a low AHI mean nothing with a leak leak rate just 20% above the recommended level ?

Your leaks are not excessive. You can believe your AHI numbers
