Rescan Graph Questions

I'd like to thank everyone who contributes to the wealth of information on this forum. I've made use of a fair bit, and will endeavour to make my own contributions when I know something. LOL.

Okay. I think I have got my mask and machine setup as good as I'm going to get..pic 1

I get lots of sections that look like this..pic 2

I was concerned with the leak, because I feel like my mask is a perfect fit now, and I certainly didn't wake up to fix it. Slept really well. I did notice a correlation between the leaking and snore index though. Open mouth leak? Would that make sense?..pic 3

Haven't had snoring or leaks in any quantity worth worrying about before, and I'd been out in a hay fever central area all day, so I was quite stuffy when I went to bed. If I need to do the chinstrap thing I certainly will, but the night before on the same settings with the same mask fit, I had no snoring or leaking worth mentioning. So I am judging that these were open mouth leaks. Just after a bit of confirmation at this point to make sure I'm on the right track. Tonight before bed, I'll sniff some eucalyptus oil, and go the monster nose blow to see what happens. If I don't have leaks or snoring I'm thinking I am on the right track.

I use a Full Face Mask, not a nasal or pillows mask, so I am not familiar with how much leaking occurs when the mouth opens, but I would have expected it to be a lot more than the moderate leaking shown in your graphs.

Maybe the leaks are positional, when your pillow or bed pushes on the mask a little?

By the way, I suggest changing the scale on the Flow to something more like -80 to +80 so you can see more detail. No need to see the flow during very rare peaks, such as when coughing.

Take care,
