My sleep dr raised pressure to 16
I finally found a mask I feel comfortable with, the FFM F30. I started therapy in Nov. My AHI hasn't gone below 8 on this mask. My sleep dr raised my pressure to start at 10, to cap at16. I'll give it time but the first night AHI was still 8, leaks at 11. I could use my SD card and try Oscar, but not sure what this would accomplish? Not sure I would be able to interpret it? Or just give it time..the straps are as tight as could be

“Straps as tight as they could be…” might not be a super tight plan. Paradoxically, masks get leaky if the straps are tight. The mask should kinda float on the face. I like Lanky Lefty on YT for visual demonstration. He might even demo your exact mask.

Try this
http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...ganization Stacey has the link within his signature which means a constant add on at the bottom of his posts. I would agree that tight masks will likely leak quite a lot. Using OSCAR gives us the info to help you, so don't worry too much if you can't understand much about it. We'll help explain what's there. Try adding 1-3 standard view OSCAR, getting left panel without the calendar. It'll be a great starting view for assisting you. We'll help suggest settings edits according to the data. These edits you can do yourself.
