Mask is leaking REALLY phenomenally
Mask is leaking REALLY phenomenally
My poor husband has gotten Mr Frowny face two days in a row. He is using the FP 431 (what they gave him, not just cause I had it) when I download his data, it is massive leak after massive leak. The thing is, I can't HEAR his mask leaking that much. He also says he didn't feel like it was leaking that much. We switched from a medium seal to a small, should we go to large? I am really trying to help him get used to this. His AHI did drop from 9 something to 4 something

Re: Mask is leaking REALLY phenomenally
Is he using a ResMed machine, I assume? If so, make sure you have the mask selection set appropriately. There may not be a leak.jmcsmomma wrote:My poor husband has gotten Mr Frowny face two days in a row.

Re: Mask is leaking REALLY phenomenally
I'm not home right now, but as I can recollect, the epr is set to full, at 3, exhale is patient,pressure is 14. I thought it was set to full face, but I could be wrong. I'll check when I get back from this wrestling tourney.LoQ wrote:Is he using a ResMed machine, I assume? If so, make sure you have the mask selection set appropriately.

Re: Mask is leaking REALLY phenomenally
If it is an actual leak, maybe a mask liner would help.

Re: Mask is leaking REALLY phenomenally
If you can send me a PM with your email address, I can attach the pattern in an email. It is in PDF format. I looked and I can't do an attachment through PM.
