Sleepyhead software: how do I interpret leak data?

Post by ellen1159 » Mon Feb 15, 2016 4:39 pm

Haven't been on this board for quite some time. Got a new mask, F&P Eson, and I wanted to know what is an acceptable range for leaks on Sleepyhead?
Machine: Respironics Bi-level 760 pressures 9.5/13.5
Humidifier: Respironics heated humidifier
Mask: F&P Eson Nasal mask
(previous tries with ResMed Swift FX Nano nasal and Mirage Quattro Full Face...still looking for my holy grail mask)

leak range varies from brand to brand of machine, your respironics machine has a 'large leak' flag that it will show in sleepyhead when it doesn't like how much leak you're having. there's no set acceptable range.

that said, in general, less is better.
