I'm currently using the Swift II nasal pillow and my CPAP machine reports that it's seeing a leak rate of about 25LPM. Is that normal for this kind of 'mask'?
As usual, all suggestions and info will be appreciated.

In your users manual there will be a chart. If you look at your pressure setting on the chart you will see what the manufacture's accepted leak rate is at your pressure.

Thanks Iking. Unfortunately, I didn't get a manual with my Swift II. So taking your advice, I looked online at the manual for the Swift II. Yup, just like you said, it's in the manual. (Appears to be about right.) Appreciate the suggestion. As usual, any suggestions and info are always appreciated. Allen |
