Limited data question

Limited data question
Since I have the BRICK machine and don't have hardly any data to share or go by. Here is my question my AHI has been showing .07, 06  pretty much below 1 using a nasal mask. I videoed myself the last few nights and noticed my bottom lip down or lower jaw dropping a tiny bit. Looks enough to where air could escape. I wasn't snoring at all but could that be the reason for low AHI score?

Also I will update profile later to my new mask, I think it's called dreamwear nasal mask

RE: Limited data question
A CPAP machine may not be able to detect an event during a large leak. I can't say for sure if this is the reason for your low score. If you had the leak all night long maybe. Do you also wear a chin strap?

Going to get a chin strap today, but I honestly can say I feel pretty decent.

Do Resmed machines not show the smiley face anymore? Not that it was ever that accurate in my opinion.

       Angry Mask needs adjustment.

Humidifier
       Smile Humidifier attached and functional.
       Angry Humidifier fault; refer to troubleshooting section.

RE: Limited data question
The Airstart is supposed to show a mask leak "indication" - the user manual suggests that the leak rate is displayed, but doesn't say anything about a smiley face.

It's quite possible for your mouth to be slightly open but not leaking, if your tongue is firmly placed against the palate. You can even try this when awake - put the tip of your tongue up against the front teeth, allow the tongue to seal all around then let your jaw drop open a bit - now exhale gently. The tongue forms a seal, even if your mouth is open a bit.
