RE: Desperate for some help with ASV for CA
Your leak median was 16.8 November 23, and 8.4 median November 24. The ResMed has a designed leak redline at 24 L/Min. You really shouldn't be near the 24 if possible. As you approach this, the machine loses the ability to give actuate therapy.
Your Max leak rate was 27-31, over the redline of 24.
There's both mouth and mask leak patterns involved. The mouth leaks are typically flatter, wide leak patterns, while a mask leak is the spikey stuff.
Either there's need of adjusting the mask, the size of the cushion is wrong, or it's just not a good mask model or type for you.
Mouth leak fixes may be tape, there's members here that have info about this.
