Intentional leak rate vs. specific mask (ping Snoredog)

This is in reference to the leak rate on a S8 AutoSet II CPAP Machine.

How is the intentional leak rate compensated for in the M series that I use?
There is no configuration for the type mask you are using.

carboman, For the M series, it does not do any compensation. It simply reports the total flow, which the is the intentional leak rate plus any unwanted leaks. There are two related new posts you may be interested in, with some detailed explanations:
