leakrate quattro FX

Post by asylvia » Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:21 pm

I can't seem to get my leakrate with my quattro fx below .1 l/s or 6 l/minutes.

i have both a size small (which the tool sizes me at) and a size medium, and have been using a padacheek mask liner.

my minimum pressure is 7, and my 95% is usually 9.5-10. i don't think that is unreasonably high. does anyone have any suggestions? is a leakrate of 6 l/min acceptable?

thanks

Yes it is acceptable. ResMed says that up to 24 L/min is acceptable. You are well below that.
