Flow rate and leak detection
#1
Flow rate and leak detection
OSCAR reports leakages, on occasion, from my use of my RESMED AirSense 10 Autoset.
Does anyone know how either the AirSense 10 APAP determines that the mask is leaking?
Thanks
Barry

If the leakage exceeds 24L/min above the mask's designed venting.

RE: Flow rate and leak detection
Thanks for responding. So I take it that leak is determined by the total volume from the APAP when it exceed a certain value and not a function of the mask pressure?
