Hi mjpr,
WELCOME! to the forum.! If you are using a full-face mask, you would set your machine to the full-face masksetting. Hang in there for more responses to your post and best of luck to you wit your CPAP therapy.

RE: Resmed mask settings
Thank you Zonk and just Mongo. Still confused though. Mir Full shows flow rate over 40 l/m while specs on my mask show intentional rate about 30 l/m . I understand the resmed machine only reports unintentional leak rate. Wont this throw data off....or am I making something of nothing ?

I understand the resmed machine only reports unintentional leak rate. Wont this throw data off....or am I making something of nothing ? Perhaps. Masks have vents so the exhaled air can be purged from the mask between intake of the next breath. A mask from another manufacturer might have greater flow out the vents at a particular pressure. Generally, most full face masks will work with the ResMed machine set to Mir Full. I use ResMed Mirage Quattro Full Face Mask; and my reported leak rate is essentially zero. I keep my mask strapped on rather tight as I cannot stand a leak -- it just bugs me. Possibly your 40 and 30 LPM leak rates are at different pressures. Bottom line -- I wouldn't worry about.

RE: Resmed mask settings
I am with you on the leaks Mongo.....would rather have a few strap marks in the AM then leaks.
That being said my leak rates have been averaging 60LPM or more. I am not noticing the leaks, which is why I wondered if having wrong mask selected in machine was skewing the numbers. Thanks again
Sleep Well !!!

RE: Resmed mask settings
If you over tighten the mask, you are causing more leaks than you are trying to fix.
If you are having to tighten a mask so much to stop leaks that you are leaving marks on the face just from the tightness, then you are either using the wrong size or the wrong mask.
