How to set leak alarm on S9 Elite?

Post by Elsh » Sat Jul 02, 2011 4:03 pm

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it.

How can I set the leak alarm for my S9 Elite? I don't know how to set it, and I would really like to since I have a bad habit of accidentally taking my mask off in my sleep. I need something that will wake me up when I do that.

I have auto set and to my knowledge there is not an alarm that you can set. I would put some tape on the sides of the mask so you know if you are pulling it off in your sleep.

Hmm, I thought I read somewhere online that there was a leak alarm. I'm not sure if tape would work that well for me, but I could try it.

Some machines have a leak alarm. Some don't. My machine does but it is just a little beep which isn't loud enough to wake me. I think I read in another thread that there was no alarm feature on the S9 machines.

I'm not aware of any leak alarm on my S9 Elite. I haven't seen any mention of one in any of the documentation that I have read, including the clinician's manual. I don't think it has such an alarm.
