Leak

Post by Sleeping With The Enemy » Sun May 01, 2005 8:55 pm

Just wondering how much leak can a person have before it effects therapy. I have the Remstar Auto with C-Flex and Activa or Aura.

Leak average anywhere from 18-36 minutes a night . My AHI is averaging 2.4. I have my auto set from 4-12 and usually float around 10-12.

Still having headaches as well.

Hi Sleeping...

The amount of leak is probably the best indicator. What is your leak level? It will be measured in LPM or LPS. You may be opening your mouth if there is a large leak out of the blue.
