Mask leaks

Post by dinycat » Mon Aug 04, 2014 12:24 pm

I haven't been on the site, nor even monitored my machine with Encore for several months. Today, I noticed all looked okay except that my mask leakage rate has risen gradually to 30. Is this too much?

Thanks. Hope everyone is well.

I assume you are talking about total leak reported in Encore? If so, no that isn't anywhere near too much. It really depends on your mask and your pressure but in general large leak territory doesn't begin until up around 80 to 90 L/min total leak.
