Any Short Cut to Mask Setting on S9?

Post by cpapernewbie » Tue Oct 05, 2010 6:27 pm

I am now testing Activa LT beside using my regular Swift FX

After using S9 for 5 months, I thought I know enough about S9 Autoset, but it seems that you can never stop learning

Usually after 5 hours of sleep with Activa LT, I need to switch mask to Swift FX due to nose bridge problem, however I found out that changing mask setting require going through the clinician setup every time.

Swift FX setup is PILLOW, while Activa LT is NASAL

is there a better way, a kind of short cut without going through the clinician;s menu?

On my S9 you can change the mask type from the User Menu also. Faster to get into.

Press the bottom rectangular button that has two check-marks (Setup). You can change the Mask Type setting there.
