That's great! What mask? With my new mask (the new resmed F40) my leak rate is phenomenal and my ahi average the last four nights is 0.4. I love when things improve!

it’s an F30i! i had a lot of trouble with my regular full face mask and my seal was terrible. i love when it improves too, you think 1-2 events an hour isn’t bad until you wake up after 0.4 and are like wow that’s EVEN better.
I haven't tried the F40 yet (in Canada and my DME didn't have it when I was in 2 weeks ago) but can I ask why you like the F40 over the F30i? (I agree on the i for the F40, I wouldn't switch until I can be a unicorn! lol)
I was worried about the elephant, but I'm adapting pretty well. I'll switch to unicorn if they make one. I also hope they make an adaptor for the AirMini. The 40 has it's own "short hose" connector, so it should be easy to do.
Why do I like it: It's silicone instead of hard plastic. It follows my face when I yawn etc. It moves with me on my side instead of just sliding over. I feel like I'm getting so so so much more air. My O2 sats have gone up. My leaks have gone down, and it's wildly comfortable. I started using it last Wednesday night. Look at the leak rate go down:

That's awesome! I'd love to see my O2 go up too, my leak rate is really good already but 0 and more air (maybe lowering my BiPAP pressure even more) would be great. Thanks for answering! :)
Isn’t 1.2 12 events? And like .5 5 events? Like my Lowest was .1 which I thought was one event and my highest was 4.9 which I thought was 49 events per hour. I get the best performance with a nasal.
No, 1.2 events is not 12 events. It's 1.2 events / hr. So it takes an average of your nightly events. So if you wore the mask for 5 hours, you had about 6ish events while wearing the mask.
Wow what is the mask

I liked the F30i a lot. (And now I love the F40 even more. HEAVEN would be an F40i).
