Son gets his machine today

[PoolQ]

Your a good Mom!
The 10 verses 12 is a guy thing, I can take it! More is better, faster... He can always back it off (as you know )
I have a beard and use Simplus, no problem with the beard but the nose bridge is another story
Just started trying the P10 this week, sore in the center. I find it difficult to not get it too tight, still working on it

The second night, after a couple hrs he got really frustrated and was ready to pack it in - but he's motivated enough he put that thing back on. Got a good 4 hrs uninterrupted which has got to feel great. the 12-18 might be good for him. I asked him about posting his reports and he didn't answer. He's thinking about it. AHI still 2.2. He was mad at the P10... Small pillow = not enough air, Med Pillow makes nose and upper lip sore... but the last lap last night he kinda got over it - said it stopped hurting.

He left it running all night, both nights. so his compliance is 100% Leak rates aren't perfect, but if I understand the PR Leak reporting correctly it's also not too bad.

.........Also need to find the threads on how respironics does leaks - so we can tell if he is mouth breathing, but my instinct says that if he had his pressure would have maxxed, and it did not. only hit 13 (in the last 2 hrs - 12 in the first 2)

Daria,

The flow rate would have maxxed out but the pressure would not have. The machine is set to maintain the pressure, so if there is a large leak the impeller will spin up and move more air to try to get the back pressure up to the pressure setting. With a really large leak the pump will never catch up and the pressure will go down but the flow rate will be way up.
