Setting for Spirit Autoset

Post by Spiritus » Tue May 01, 2007 3:38 pm

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what setting I should set in the clinical menu for mask type? Available settings are:

Mirage
Ultra
Mir Full
Standard

Thanks,

Rob

Non-Resmed mask = Standard

Full face mask = Mir Full

Nasal mask = Standard or Mirage Ultra

That setting is only for the **** ranking it uses in determining leak. So selecting the wrong mask would only impact that rating/ranking, it would still show you actual leak rate in L/s (liters per second).

The "Full" setting does has a special meaning over the others, when selected, it disables the AutoStart feature on the machine as that feature is incompatible with the anti-asphyxia valves found on most Full Face masks.

someday science will catch up to what I'm saying...
