Setting for Hybrid Mask with Resmed Autoset Spirit

[mulmer]

I have just purchased a Hybrid Mask. I was wondering if anyone could recommend what value to use for the "Mask" setting in my CPAP machine. (This is used in determining leak rates.) My machine is an older Resmed Autoset Spirit. It only has settings for specific Resmed masks. The available values are "Standard", "Ultra", "Mirage" and "Mir Ful". Thanks.

Use the Standard mask selection for any non-Resmed mask. Your Resmed will then subtract .4 L/s (24 L/M) from the reported Leak rate.

When checking our Leak rate in the morning you would then add 24 L/M (or .4 L/s) to the reported Leak rate and compare that to the allowed vent rate at your set pressure as suggested in the table in your mask's literature.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
