Question about leak rate

Question about leak rate
[Image: yai1E0il.png]

The first part of this chart I'm using a Amara View FFM. No leaks when it works but I really don't like it. The P10 is being worn the second and third part of the chart. I really love this mask but I do get leaks through my lips. I use a cervical collar and that help but I don't want to tape.
Are these leaks acceptable?

No problem. I frequently have worse leaks. In this case, the machine never loses control of the airway and as long as it doesn't bother you, it's fine by me. Smile

So what does the

RE: Question about leak rate
Hojo, The following is from The Beginners Guide to SleepyHead: "Med (Median) and 95% are statistical terms. The median value for a given set of data is the halfway point: Half the data is AT or BELOW the median value; half the data is AT or ABOVE the median value. The 95% value is the data value for which 95% of the data is AT or BELOW the value and 5% of the data is AT or ABOVE the value".
