Abstract

A system for providing continuous positive air pressure therapy is provided. The system includes a patient interface, a flow generator, a sensor, and a computing device. Wireless transceivers allow wireless communication between the computing device and the flow generator and/or patient interface. Sensor data is communicated to the computing device and a leak determination is made by the computing device based on the sensor data. If a leak is detected, then troubleshooting options for correcting the leak are displayed to the patient on a display of the computing device. The troubleshooting options may be selected based on the sensed data, the type of patient interface, the type of flow generator, or characteristics of the patient using the device.
