Another S9 question

Post by stantheman » Thu May 17, 2012 5:14 am

Third night on my machine, when I went to sleep mask seemed to inflate and deflate like the machine wasn't fully on when I woke up this morning it was off. Did it not come on all the way or what. laying with it after getting up seems like it comes on partially by itself when I put the mask on but if I hit the button it comes on all the way. Any ideas? I think I slept all night without therapy

stantheman,

Which machine are you talking about? The title says S9, but your sig shows an M-Series BiPAP Auto. So which machine? If it is an S9, which S9?

Since the problem seems to be related to Auto On/Off and/or SmartStart (name depends on the brand), I'd start by turning that feature off for the time being. I'd also suggest reporting the problem to the DME that sold you the machine.
