mouth leak vs mask leak
I've been told that OSCAR can differentiate between mask leak and mouth leak. Is this true? Where is this shown? Note: I am very new to OSCAR and CPAP, only been using it about 6 weeks.

RE: mouth leak vs mask leak
You can tell the difference In the leak rate chart. A mask leak is a sharp line while a mouth leak is longer duration and a flat top to the event. The example I have is a mouth leak at 2 and a mask leak ath 520. Some of the others have both but are short in duration.
