With Resmed Quattro Air mask I have Periodic breathing?

Anyone else experience this? My AHI went from about 1.5 to 4 and I never had PB until using this mask and it has been like 4 percent for a week now. So odd. NO leaks...

Interesting... What mask were you using before?

Interestingly, my experience is the other way around. When I went from the Quattro Mirage to the Quattro Air all my numbers got better, instantly. My AHI went from fighting to keep an average around 3.5 to averaging 0.5. Even more dramatic were my leaks, which just stopped cold in their tracks.

I've seen a lot of folks say that barring excessive leaks one FFM should be as good as another in terms of your AHI but that is definitely not the case for me. I contend you just have to keep trying until you find one that fits and that you like, but more importantly one that likes you.
