S9 Elite and S9 AutoSet difference?

What is the difference between these two models? Thanks.

Read about both autoset and CPAP here

wiki/index.php/AutoPAP

CPAP machine runs at a constant pressure all the time

APAP automatically adjusts the pressure according to an algorithm based on your breathing.

If you get and APAP machine it can usually be run in CPAP mode.

The S9 Autoset can do everything that an Elite can PLUS it can be put in auto mode to adjust the pressure to changing conditions such as flow limitations that usually proceed apnea or hypopneas. The price difference is very low between the two models, so if you have a choice buy the S9 Autoset.

ResMed's own website has the product brochures for both models, as well as show-and-tell videos etc.

ww, thanks for the short answer.

I know the difference between a cpap and an apap, and alterego61, I prefer to get the short and straight answer versus having to read through a bunch of corporate boilerplate.
