Newly Diagnosed CPAP user (Long HAUL TRUCK Driver)

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum. You've got great equipment (same as mine ) and that was a great first night.

Regarding powering an invertor, you might find this thread a bit helpful.

It makes total sense.

ResMed says that 24 L/min is where the machine starts having trouble compensating for leaks.

Pugs: can the S9 compensate for these leaks in the cpap mode, or just the autoset mode? In the cpap mode, I'm thinking the machine blows a straight set of air. In the autoset mode the machine is allowed to fluxuate, thus compensating for the the leak rate (up to 24 l/m.)

My understanding is that all of the machines compensate but you know they don't really tell us how they compensate do they?
We tend to assume that it jacks up the pressure like an autoset might increase in response to warning signs of an event but I think it is a more subtle response.
CPAPS can fluctuate. They do it all the time ...ramp...EPR...they just don't respond to event warning signals with a change in pressure.
What it actually does or how the cpap mode compensates...I have never read it...just that it compensates or can handle leaks up to their red line. That information is probably deep in some paperwork somewhere.
