PR DreamStation Mask Type Setting

Post by AcedDublB » Thu Jan 04, 2018 5:36 pm

Is there anywhere to determine what setting one is to select for the various types of Face Masks not made by Philips Respironics.

Secondly, how do the different types impact the calculations?

I utilize a FFM Quattro Air and I leave the DreamStation Auto BiPAP on Setting # 1

Zero. "0"

The answer to your second question is probably in these links, but it's probably not that significant (for the P/R masks).

Thank you for the compilation of posts.

I see that Pugsy is of the opinion that it is insignificant consequence as to which Mask Type is being used so I will leave it as is.

If you're using a non-Philips/Respironics mask, I would suggest setting it to Zero.
