Dreamstation mask fit

Post by Woody » Tue Apr 09, 2019 7:31 pm

I am currently running a Dreamstation Auto in cpap mode at 20 and having a lot of mask leaks.
I decided to do the mask fit test but simply can't find it perhaps I turned it of in the clinical
menu. But when I go in the clinical menu I can't find where you enable this feature. Any ideas.

No. It tells how to run the mask fit check if it has been enabled form the clinical setup menu.
But somehow it was disabled so when I go to settings there is no listing for that mask check test.

I don't know for sure, but I am thinking that in straight cpap mode that mask fit option is disabled. It may only be an option in the auto mode.

It's not at all hard to do, but you have to go into the clinical mode (as opposed to patient mode). See this video: it's for the Dreamstation APAP but would work with CPAP mode, I think.
