Dreamstation mask setting

Post by skittlesmcgee » Mon Feb 20, 2017 6:34 pm

I recently switched from a nasal mask to an Amara View which I love. Should I have changed the mask setting? If so to what?

Whatever number is on the Amara View package....that's the number to choose for Resistance control setting.

Just looked it up on cpap.com---X1 is the number for Amara View.

What was the make/model of your nasal mask?
Only if you use a Philips/Respironics mask. Otherwise, for non-P/R masks, leave the Resistance setting at Zero.

Looks like Amara masks use X1 setting

The first link is for the System One, but I would imagine that this is the same, especially given that the choices seem to match.
