Flow Rate / Leak Rate / Flow Limit Data Questions

temperance - Based on the leaks appearing at higher pressures, how old is your nasal pillow? I know for a Resmed P10, that is a sign that it is starting to wear out.

I've had the resmed p10 for less than a year. These leaks have been consistent since starting therapy with the p10.

Well, I'm trying but apparently some people only hear what they want to hear.

Thus far 3 pieces of helpful evidence have been presented:  the WatchPAT report, Oscar screenshots with leaks and FLs but only one Oscar screenshot with pressures.

IMO (and for arguments' sake let's say I have some skilz in this area) the WatchPAT maybe shows some signs of UARS.

If we look for FLs in the Oscar shots there are like none.  If so, the pressure provided is unnecessarily high, or at least deserving a look-see.

In the single shot that show pressures, the increased pressure seems to be the cause of all (not some, all) the leaks:


Therefore, if worse case scenario is that there's a touch of UARS;  UARS is composed of FLs; and there's never really any indications of FLs in the screenshots, then it would seem the easiest solution would be drop pressure to like fixed 7 cmH2O and see if it solves the leak issue without allowing FLs (and those tiny isolated FL blips are irrelevant).

Further, give 5 or 6 cmH2O a shot to see if even lower pressures are effective.

I'll set the pressure to a consistent 7 and see if it makes an difference and post data after a few trial nights.

Adding a couple more screenshots with some of the higher AHI/Leak days if it helps
