Yeah, it always amazes me when I get the machine reporting ZERO leak rate for 8 hours of sleeping. I always think something is wrong with the machine.
This happened again last night... I'm worried.

Re: amazing...
Hi,
I only got that once about a week ago. But I have been trying out different masks and different sizes. I got the Zero leak rate reading with the Quattro. I have only just gone back to using it and am hoping to get that Zero reading again, but so far no luck.

Re: amazing...
There are times I despair of a zero leak reading
My practice is to wash the mask every night to make sure it is not 'greasy'. But sometimes depending on the prior days food intake, the slipperiness seems unavoidable & the leaks start.
I keep 2 masks beside the bed now so if one does become to problematical I can switch.

I stopped trying when I realized my face shape would never match the mask.
