New machine

Some ResMed nasal masks suggest pillows setting.

You have an N30i? ResMed says Pillows setting.

OK where you show Humidity Level 2, to use the block plate, turn humidity to 0 or off.

Yes Dave I have done that but I had to refit the humidifier to be able to access those setting on the machine so all good now I think 
How do you think the 2 different masks results compared , I do prefer the pillows mask rather than the nasal 
I have a P30i pillows mask and a N20 nasal mask , I used the N20 last night for the first time 

Thanks for all the quick replies

Which did you use on 10 August? That had a consistent but low leak. That leak pattern should be the better of the two I think. Alternate is if you could get the mask you like to have that leak pattern, again the OSCAR from 10 August. That's my opinion.

Ok thanks Dave , Aug 10  that was last night , I used the N20 mask the nasal with the foam cushion . I do have a silicon cushion for that mask I might try that . 

[SarcasticDave94]

OK to me that looks like a better leak rate pattern. It had leaks continually, but it looked like it was manageable, consistent. If comfort was good, you may have a winning combo.

I wonder if that constant low leak with the N20 mask is because the seal is foam  , I will try the N20 with the silicon seal it might  be better . I will give it a try , might be interesting . 

I'm starting to understand the leak rate graph a bit better now thanks to the help here . Most of the P30i leaks seem to line up with when Im awake or waking up , I think 

[Jackofjr]

G'day . I tried the N20 with the silicon seal last night , this looks pretty good to me , it shows no events except for one CA is that even possible 

I'm still confused by the different leak graphs how does it compare to the other masks , I still forgot to try EPR but I did remember to change the mask setting from Pillows to Nasal , having the wrong mask setting would that make much difference , my other machine didn't have mask settings so Im not used to it . 
If I was to go back to a fixed pressure would a small pressure increase be advised , I have been using a pressure of 9 for years before I got the new ResMed .

Yes this combo gets my vote as very good. If you can repeat that, all the better.

[Jackofjr]

Thanks Dave 
 I will keep using that combo and see what Oscar shows , I do prefer the Pillows mask but will give the N20 a good go then might try the P30i again after a few nights 
If it turns out the N20 is the best I will just stay with it . 
The " Time over leak red line " what is a acceptable % before I should worry and need to fix something .

I prefer to keep leaks as far from the redline of 24 as I can. With my F&P Vitera,I was able to get reasonable and repeatable leak rates that rarely hit 24, and were mostly at 10 or thereabouts. And that was with an ASV that ran EPAP 8-13, PS 3-15, IPAP 11-28.
