Just bought a new Resmed airsense 10,autostart, when removing mask keeps free flowing.

I do not know why it keeps free flowing. The smart start is on,EPR 3 and it should shut off after a few seconds automatically when mask removed. If I turn it to EPR 2 it will shut off. I wonder if this is common on a new machine or wait a little while while it gets worn in and try it later. If I use EPR 3 I have to use the top button to shut it off when mask removed. It did shut off once on EPR 3 automatically but not consistently. Also there is a menu above smartstart called Pressure relief on or off for the EPR and I think that is a new software add on this model (I don't think my old 2015 A10,autostart model had that option). Any ideas out there what is going on or similar issues?

What? I'm kinda confused as to what you're saying happens. Is it only the EPR 3 that doesn't turn off? Or are you just not hitting the off button? Is it difficult to do that? I think I'm missing something, but what please?

Some users of the P10 mask have reported that Smart Start does not work so well on shut down. Too restrictive exhaust?

That is what the on/off button is for.

Or unplug the mask hose from the main hose.

EPR has nothing to do with SmartStart

Interesting, My old machine would shut off when mask removed. You can hear the changes of air flow as the machine is trying to figure whats up but on EPR 3 it seems to not to be as accurate. Same mask on one machine and it works but on the same newer model it is can not trip out. Oh we will experiment a little more. Thanks to you all for helping.

My machine does exactly the same thing.
When compared to not turning on, not turning off is definitely something I can deal with.

I have been testing and reading a little, it seems folks with the pillow p10 mask have similar issues according to another person who did some digging up on the subject . It sounds like the air is restricted a little more so the machine thinks it is still attached to the person possible. So did a little experiment with it on EPR 3 setting and dawned the mask with Smart start on and let it build up pressure and removed the mask with it free flowing and removed the nose cushion and sure enough it shut off. So on EPR 3 it must change the back pressure enough just to confuse the software Algorithums possibly thinking its just a serious leak.
Thanks all for your contributions on this matter.

Auto-off does work when I detach the mask from the hose.
But pushing the @#$%& button is so much easier.
