I'm not sure what mask setting to use with my S8 VPAP S machine:
The Guide says to use these settings for these masks. I'm not sure if I should use Ultra, Standard or Mirage setting. Any recommendations?
- ULTRA for Ultra Mirage Nasal Mask & Ultra Mirage II Nasal Mask
MIR FULL for Mirage Liberty Full Face Mask & Mirage Quattro Full Face Mask
Ultra Mirage for Full Face Mask
ACTIVA Mirage for Activa Nasal Mask
SWIFT Mirage for Swift Nasal Pillows System & Mirage Swift II Nasal Pillows System & Swift LT Nasal Pillows System
STANDARD for Mirage Vista Nasal Mask & Mirage Micro Nasal Mask
MIRAGE for Mirage Nasal Mask

I would use the Mirage setting.
Your Mirage FX is a nasal mask isn't it?
Edit....I see the chart Randy linked to...wonder why the Mirage choice isn't shown?

See page 2 of Resmed's Pressure vs Flow sheet:
http://www.resmed.com/us/assets/documen ... sa_eng.pdf
It looks like you should use the "Standard" setting.
