Mask Strap

Post by trytryagain » Thu Nov 04, 2010 6:00 am

I used my mask strap from PAC last night for the first time , with my Quattro. Felt comfortable and had my lowest AHI yet of 2.0, but I had tones of leaks on my report. What could be the cause of that?

Hi TryTryAgain

My suggestion would be that you relax, and take it easy.

You have a very low AHi, and the leaks are for one night only. Trends are what to watch for.

Give it a week or so, adjust as you feel necessary, and enjoy your low Ahi.

cheers

Very true. It's better to leave things alone and let it ride until you see a noticeable trend than to continuously make adjustments.
