Usage hours
The point system for usage works in 10's. If your patient uses his therapy for 1 hour then he gets 10
points, or for 6 hours he gets 60 points. The more time he sleeps with his therapy, the more points he
receives, up to a maximum of 70 points.
Mask Seal
The better your patient's mask seals, the more points he gets. This category can help him know if he
needs to adjust or change his mask to get a better fit. If his mask seal is poor, it can affect his comfort
and the quality of his treatment. His score reduces as his mask leak increases. He can get up to 20
points for minimal mask leak, 10 to 15 points for moderate leak, and 0 to 10 points for higher leak.
Events per hour
The fewer breathing events he has each hour the more points he gets. These breathing events are
also known as the apnoea-hypopnoea index (or AHI). AirMini measures how many times your
patient's breathing partially or fully stops each hour. If he has minimal events, he gets 4 to 5 points.
