Question about leak rate

Question about leak rate
[Image: yai1E0il.png]

The first part of this chart I'm using a Amara View FFM. No leaks when it works but I really don't like it. The P10 is being worn the second and third part of the chart. I really love this mask but I do get leaks through my lips. I use a cervical collar and that help but I don't want to tape.
Are these leaks acceptable?

No problem. I frequently have worse leaks. In this case, the machine never loses control of the airway and as long as it doesn't bother you, it's fine by me. Smile

RE: Question about leak rate
Hojo, The following is from The Beginners Guide to SleepyHead: "Med (Median) and 95% are statistical terms. The median value for a given set of data is the halfway point: Half the data is AT or BELOW the median value; half the data is AT or ABOVE the median value. The 95% value is the data value for which 95% of the data is AT or BELOW the value and 5% of the data is AT or ABOVE the value".
