Leak rates for resmed.

Post by Upalot » Sun Jul 06, 2014 8:48 pm

Which leak rate numbers does every one check for their machines to try and watch their leeks? I am trying to really dial in on my leaks and not sure which numbers to watch. Everyone has kind of stated that the goal of 24 and under for the leaks is good. mine are twice that high. Is this simply the Max. leak number listed in sleepy head on the leak line to the far right? Should i pay any attention to the other numbers?

See your other thread

If you keep the max leak below 24 L/min...you don't have to worry about leak numbers...any of them.
Generally speaking if your 95% leak number is below 24 L/min you don't have to worry about leaks and sometimes even if the 95% number is higher than 24 L/min it doesn't always mean that leaks were horrible for the entire night. Might have just been horrible for 20 minutes or so.

That is of course assuming that the leaks aren't waking you up....
Any leak that wakes a person up needs to be fixed..even if they are teeny tiny leaks.
