Mask setting on machine?

Post by Ramma2 » Tue Jul 21, 2009 6:01 pm

I've got 4 options on my machine for mask selection:

Standard
Mirage
Full Face
Ultra Mirage

Which setting best jives with the mask in my sig? I've been using Full Face and getting good leak numbers, but I don't know if its the right selection.

"Select ‘Mir Full’ or ‘Full Face’ as the mask option when using the Mirage Quattro with ResMed flow generators that have mask setting options."

Ramma2,
The little booklet that comes with masks lists the proper machine setting to use...usually on page 1 or 2. That comes in handy as you test drive masks down the road. Good luck.
