Machine doesn’t detect leakage?

Post by joeljjk11 » Sun Oct 20, 2019 10:59 am

Am I over thinking this or can it happen? I am using the Phillips nuance mask and realized last night that my mask just seemed too loose and like the nasal pillows were falling out of my nose. I tightened the mask and this morning I feel so much better and have more energy, almost like in recent weeks my mask was leaking. My machine has detected zero leakage though. Is this possible or am I going crazy?

Are you using the Smiley/Frowny Face on the machine to tell you if you have leaks? :(

Or do you have SleepyHead/Oscar to evaluate leaks and therapy? :)
If you don't, do. :wink:

To really know what the leakage is, you need to pull the data from the machine into Oscar, and look at it. If you don't have a SD card in the machine, put one in it.
