Average leak readings
I am waiting for an answer from the woman that works for the company where I got my Luna CPAP from but I am questioning how the leak readings can change on the unit? There are two readings, one says "95% leak" while the other just says "avg. leak". The first one is very small like 0.06 but the other one goes from 0.0 to 1.0 up to 4.0 and in between, it has been around 3.0 or 4.0 the last few days which is higher than normal, the only difference is that I put on a new nasal mask last week, but I torqued the headgear down, don't hear or feel any leaks yet the number went up? I think one time she told me awhile ago as long s it doesn't go over 5 don't worry about it, and I'm sure she'll get back to me, but I wanted to see if anyone here had any thoughts on it?
Thank you

RE: Average leak readings
The 95 is probably a percentile and not a percent.

RE: Average leak readings
The woman got back to me and her answer was "as long as leaking is less than 24L/M we're not too concerned" so I guess 4.0 is fine.
