Need explanation on leak rate on remstar auto

Post by dolphins » Mon Nov 02, 2009 2:15 pm

No matter what changes I make my leak rate is always 25-40 minutes. One report said 6 min. of large leak separate from the average leak rate.

Leak rate reported may or may not be way out of line. Leak rate showing on Respironics machines includes the intentional flow rate which will vary depending on mask time and pressure. Please register and log in so that you can add your specific equipment to your profile. There is no way to offer meaningful suggestions without knowing what machine you use, what mask you use and at what pressure.
