resmed s9 & Hybrid- can't find the answer

Post by kidknits » Sat May 01, 2010 7:54 pm

I've searched the board, but can't find the answer.... what mask setting do you use on the Resmed S9 for a Hybrid?
I just got my new machine this week and have been using "full face"... and get a happy face, but also get a really high leak rate- about 14l.
The AHI is only .4, so I'm not too worried, but am wondering if I'm using the wrong mask setting.

Thanks Oscar - was wondering about this question myself. There don't seem to be very many mask choices on the s9.

Regards,

On the S9 for masks other than listed ResMed... you have to make number comparisons... look up the pressure and leak rate and choose the closest mask.
My best guess (w/o looking up the numbers) is that the Hybrid would be closest to FFM.

Hybrid vents more than the ResMed FFMs so use that setting but expect some leak to be reported.
ResMed S9 range 9.8-17, RespCare Hybrid FFM
Never, never, never, never say never.

Take the the flow rate for the Hybrid at your pressure, then compare with these, and pick the closest one. You may have to do a little math.
