Mask Usage , in particular Mask Leakage
Hi, i've been using a Resmed S9 with H5 humidifier for many years now. Current full face mask is Philips Respironics Amara View. Just downloaded details from 21/05/2019 to 03/09/2020 which is summarised :-
Hours used 2714.31 >4hours 409 days
<4 hours 62 days Median daily usage 5.44 hours
Days not used 1 Total days 472
Average daily usage 5.45hours
Apnea index 3.1 Hypopnia Index 3.0 AHI 6.1
Obstructive 1.8 Central 0.7
Leakage 95th Percentile 16.8 Maximum 144.0
My major concern is how to improve my 95th Percentile leakage.
Any suggestions please. Mask & cushion approx 12 months old.

I see this post fell through the cracks. I hope you get this.
Your AHI would be a concern
Quote:AHI 6.1
This means you still have Sleep apnea while on treatment. Your AHI should be 5 or less. You should post some of your OSCAR data for review. Based on this post your therapy is not optimal.

I could never get the Amara view to work. too many leaks. Perhaps a different mask is in order, to begin with.

I loved the Amara View, but I would have loved it way more if the darn thing had fit me! If yours fits ok, 12 months is a really long time for a mask cushion -- the oils on your face react with it and it doesn't seal properly.
If it doesn't fit right, the dreamwear and F30/F30i are designed along the same lines but much later and better.
