Auto shutoff on resmed Airsense autoset 10

[MARCUSO]

Hi there,
I am a new user to this forum.
I recently went to an assessment and was fitted with an autoset 10 machine.

The loaner machine that they gave me armed to automatically turn off when I took the mask off.

However, the identical model that I actually purchased doesn't seem to do this.

I emailed resmed and they said that they don't offer this kind of support and that I would have to contact my supplier. I contacted the supplier and she said that you have to turn off the machine manually.

Sometimes the nose piece ends up off of my face and I wake up to the air blowing for who knows how long.

My question:

Is there a setting to auto shut off? Was this a fluke thing or is my machine faulty?

Thanks in advance.

Enjoy!
We all agree your DME is a stupid poopyhead.

Yes, to what ChunkyFrog said. Also, I discovered that Autoshutoff does not work correctly if you have EPR set higher than 1.

My EPR is set to 2, and I have to turn mine off manually, even though it turns itself on quite easily.

get the manual that Chunkyfrog recommended, the feature you're looking for is "smartstart" turn it on.

I don't like the noise from the auto shutoff as it takes a few seconds to recognize that you have removed the mask while it's still blowing full force. So I always hit the off button before removing the mask.

The Airsense has this weird sucking sensation when I turn it off with the mask still on--it feels like it creates a vacuum and I always feel like I can't breathe, but just for a second. I don't remember that sensation with the old PRS1.

And I am impressed with the cool down--it continues to blow gently to dry out the mask. With the DreamWear, there's a little condensation in the nose piece and it does a good job of drying that out.

Auto shutoff works fine for me with EPR on 3 and a P10 nasal mask. This is my second machine as the first one had problems and it also would take 5-15 seconds to shut off unlike the current machine. Seems to be hit or miss if the thing shuts off automatically in a short amount of time especially with a nasal mask. With full face or mini-nasal it should work fine.

Autooff seems to be a little bit iffy. It's worse with some masks and some machine settings.

I liked the way auto-off worked on my S8 Auto; it did not record the short large leak. Both my S9 and S10 record the large leak when using auto-off!

my Smartstart is on. But it doesn't turn itself off by itself. weird.

On another note, I wish the light would go off after I turn the machine off. annoying.

I'm having the same issue. will not auto shut off. EPR level is set to 2... anything else I should be checking?

[chunkyfrog]

For me, it's not a deal-breaker; but if a person were disabled, it could be a VERY big deal.
Somebody might wish to lodge a complaint with Resmed, but I suspect that is impossible.
