I'm on bipap... the pressures are set by my prescription...
After my 5 minute ramp period, my inhalation pressure goes to 21 and stays there. According to Rescan and Sleepyhead, it does not change.... nor does my mask pressure....
same goes for my EPAP...after 5 minutes, it goes to 15 and stays there...

I use a S9 VPAP Adapt ASV unit. My pressure goes from a low of 8.2 to a high of 25. I just checked my leak rate over the last year and my numbers were 0, 2.4, and 6.
I use a Quattro FX full face with (and this may be why everything is so good) Padacheeks liners. They act as a gasket to help seal the mask to your face.
Hope this helps.
