Calling all Tech Heads

Can someone tell me what the readings of leakage should be in a night, I have checked my settings and it always reads 0.2L - 0.4L Not sure if this is good or bad. Would be interesting to know though?

Without knowing what machine, which would give a clue to what they mean by leakage, that is a pretty difficult question to answer. Alternatively you could look in the manual to see what it means

My best guess would be that it is the measured leakage rate in Litres per Second. That would be fairly consistent with a normal intentional leakage from a mask at low CPAP pressures

Respironics compliance data reports consider > 75LPM a "large leak" on some people's reports, >50 LPM on others. I suppose they calculate it relative to your average leak.

F&P list 60LPM and over as "excessive leak".

If you clock under 1, it seems well under control.

Most machines can cope with 60L/min without it effecting pressure delivered. Although at 60 it would be quite uncomfortable as the machine increases flow rate to attain the pressure so it will really feel like its blasting.
