Mask type setting

Post by sbullett » Wed Nov 07, 2012 10:16 pm

I am in the process of trying to switch to nasal pillows from a nasal mask. I know there are settings for each type of mask. I have started the night with the nasal pillows and set my machine to pillows. Usually a few hours I find the pillows to be annoying so I switch to the my nasal mask. I don't always change the machine settings. My sleepy head data all seems with in normal limits. Is not changing the settings possibly altering the data?

The mask setting will make very little difference...it is mostly for leak data.
