I've never had a fully data capable CPAP until a week ago so this is all new to me. my machine reports leak rates in L/s and it's been anywhere from 0.10 to 0.22 daily. Average for a week is 0.12. My question is, to convert this to L/m I just multiply by 60, right? So by doing that, my average L/m leak rate is 0.12 times 60 which is 7.2 L/m.
I have a Mirage Quattro FF mask and have selected MIR FUL on the Elite II. So, is my leak okay or is it bad? I ask bc last night's 0.22 was high for me according to normal numbers and my AHI was also higher. I just feel clueless and am not sure if my leak rates are ok or not.

Below is a guide from Resmed to leak rate...
0.00-0.18 Excellent
0.19-0.26 Good

Those numbers are in L/s.

Re: Really dumb question... help me with leak rates
Thanks!! I was searching around but couldn't find anything in L/s for some odd reason. Apparently I am normally in the Excellent range but last night was just "good".
