Hi Slyderman,

Slyderman? Anything do do with my favorite White Castle Cheeseburgers???

Thanks alot for the clarification on the ramp. Gosh, what's the sense of having a ramp feature on an AutoCPAP if it only works in CPAP mode. Dumb. That's like air condition in a car that's only enabled with the convertable top down!

On the leaks, I read somewhere that the goal is to get the leaks below 0.2 Liters/Sec. I think that calculates to 12 LPM??? Seems impossibly low.

Anyway, my report showed 56.5 min of leask, with an Ave Leak of 63.78 LPM. Just scanning the low points, it seems the lowest on the chart is 30 LPM, so it appears that the mask itself, Mirage FF-II, must vent quite a bit our of the nose bridge vents. However, looking at the deep red marks across my nose, I still think I can improve the readings with some minor adjusting with the headgear.

Oh, one quicky, can you tell me what order the filters go in? I have the Pollen and Ultra filters.

Thanks
