Latest SH Chart, wondering about Leak Rate
241 days into treatment. Here's a summary and my chart from last night. Anyone see anything to be concerned about? Leak rate seems to be creeping up but I still don't understand what an acceptable rate is. Thanks in advance.

Looks great to me! I sometimes get results that low too.

See the red line across your leak rate chart. When you cross that line you will see a LL event as a gray bar. That is when leaks may need to be addressed. Until then your machine has no problem compensating.
Your numbers are great, wanna trade? The question is How do you feel? At this stage that is the most important question. Fred

I fell pretty good thanks. I guess what I'm wondering is, when do you worry about being too far over the leak redline ... 1%, 5%, 10% of the time? Or if you are over it at all is that when you need to make adjustments. Thanks.

RE: Latest SH Chart, wondering about Leak Rate
it depends. The redline is not a magical line where your machine stops being effective. If you are barely over you can go to a higher percentage (20-25%????), if you are way over i'd say 5-10% max, this usually says something is just not right and needs to be adjusted.
I have not seen guidelines on this.
