mask leak

Post by rp101646 » Wed Jul 11, 2018 10:58 am

I have a Resmed Airsense 10. Last night my cpap machine reported everything good but my app and also Resmed website shows mask leak so my score was 79. What am I supposed to believe?

were these leaks bothersome enough to wake you during sleep? if not, you might not have to worry about it.

you may want to download the free sleepyhead software and see what the leak rate reports there, just for another set of variables.

You can go over the red line for leaks with out affecting your treatment.

Are you talking about Mr Smiley or Mr Frowny face on the machine LCD screen for leak management?
If so...it takes a LOT of really large leak for Mr Frowny to show up...he doesn't make an appearance until you spend at least 30 % of the night over in large leak territory. That's actually a lot of time.
Best to rely on the software and/or app leak management for something more accurate.
