I've had my cpap (ResMed S8 elite with Respironics ComfortGel Nasal mask for about 5 days... I have only made it past 5 hours once, averaging 4hrs/night. The mask seems to leak alot and the noise keeps me awake.
Today had a bloody nose from nasal irritation, pressure is 15. Not sure what to do to get the nose in better condition, it seems dry. I have the humidifier set to 2/3's warm.

Anyway,
I was successful using the ACR38 card reader and captured the data shown below. I was wondering what is an acceptable leak rate?
