Calculation of leakage
#1
Calculation of leakage
I use the Myair app with a Resmed Airsense 11 cpap. The reports I receive via the app a summaries for the time the cpap was in use overnight. 

Thus the leakage reported is typically for a 7 hour period. I understand, for a point in time, Airsense 11 calculates leakage as the flow produced minus a fixed amount depending on mask type.

But if, for example, the app reports leakage for the seven hour period of 8 l/minute,  how is 8 calculated? Is it the average of readings taken over 30 minute periods, hourly periods, minute by minute or what?

TIA .... Greg
