Does anyone know if the ResMed S9 Autoset is considered an auto titrating device?

Both myself and my sleep doctor treat the S9 Autoset as a titrating device.
I've only had one sleep test to confirm my sleep apnea, and use the S9 with a pressure setting of 6 - 20.
I occasionally check my SPo2 and its now perfect.

Yes, auto machines may be used for titration.

Our new doc thinks they are; he also doesn't like them for home use, but he seemed to relent when he saw that hubby is 100% compliant--at least 6 hours every night; and hubby insists there is NO WAY he could use it at all with straight pressure.
