Mirage Quattro, Leak rate above 13

Post by Dazed & Confused » Sun Jan 16, 2011 12:28 pm

In mid December I was converted from the Dark Side and I found this site. The search feature is great.

I started out with a Mirage SoftGel nasal mask but due to nasal congestion and my 30 day return policy, I opted to try out a full face mask. I have only one week with the Mirage Quattro Full Face (DME says Quattro FX is not available in US but has got to be another thread)

Do other users of the Mirage Quattro find that this mask has excessive leak rates above a pressure of 13 ?

One week of my summary data of the Nasal Mask show …
AHI = 0.7
Max Pressure = 13.3
Max Leak = 22.8
95% Pressure = 11.5
95% Leak = 7.2

One week of my summary data of the Full Face Mask show …
AHI = 1.6
Max Pressure = 15.1
Max Leak = 33.6
95% Pressure = 13.4
95% Leak = 8.4

BTW I have read the Taming the Mirage Quattro artical – Thanks !
Also, the Quattro is much more susceptible to face oil. I use dove soap on the mask and wipe skin with rubbing alcohol before use.

Thanks
