1. A flow generator for use in a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system or a non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) system, the flow generator comprising:
a motor configured to generate a supply of breathable gas for delivery to a patient;
at least one operation sensor;
at least one processor configured to:
receive signals from the at least one operation sensor;
during operation of the flow generator while the supply of breathable gas is delivered to the patient, detect an indication of a leak based on the signals from the at least one operation sensor;
based on the indication of the leak, generate a first message;
cause the first message to be communicated;
during operation of the flow generator while the supply of breathable gas is delivered to the patient, detect a further indication of the leak based on the signals from the at least one operation sensor;
based on the further indication of the leak, generate a second message; and
cause the second message to be communicated, wherein the second message is different from the first message.
