Minor Mask Leak from Resmed Mirage Quattro Full Face

Post by digga188 » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:57 pm

Hi
I am a relatively newbie here I have been on CPAP now for 60 Days . I am noticing at times during the night my graphs indicate that I am having small leaks is there a way to improve this. I don't want to fully tighten the straps as they are currently as tight as I can stand.

Thanks

It's not always possible to eliminate all leaks,especially with a FFM but if you're graphs are staying mostly below the magic 24 lpm you're OK as long as the small leaks are not disturbing your sleep. How are you feeling?

If the leaks aren't waking you up I wouldn't worry about small minor leaks on the reports.
Now if your sleep is being disturbed then that is a different story. We don't want anything to disturb our sleep unless we can help it.
