EPR and Flow Limitation measurement accuracy

Post by sleepy1235 » Sat Jul 26, 2014 7:58 am

Does the EPR mode in the S9 Elite interfere with the algorithm used to interpret your breathing and the flow limitation measurements?

That is if you use EPR with FAST or EPR with MED settings is the flow limitation readings correct?

If there is an online materials that answer this question, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.

However, I would like a reply from a documented source. Perhaps the source given is the best there is, but doesn't anyone have a documentable source on this?
