Myencore Daily Mask Leak report

Post by george49 » Tue Dec 20, 2005 12:16 pm

I have noticed that on my Daily mask leak report shows Maximum leak at 85 liter/min. 90% leak is at 40 liter/min. Average leak is at 35 liter/min. This looks high to me. If it was leaking that much i would surly think you would hear it. And yes my hearing is just find i "think" . I do not hear any leaks nor feel any leaks on my face or on the hose, but there is always air coming out the front of the mask where it swivels. I am using a Respironice Comfort Gel Nasal CPAP Mask with there headgear.

Thank you for your time

Your mask should let out air from about there.
And the amount of air leaking out of the mask's exhaust depends on the pressure.

Many masks have a leak/pressure graph which shows you which is the expected leak rate for the mask.

That leak rate doesn't sound all that bad to me, but check the user manual that came with the mask.
