remstar auto question

I have a remstar auto. It will come on automatically when I put on my mask, but does not turn off automatically. I think I am the one that turned on auto on, but I can't remember. I didn't see it in the online manual.

Does anyone know how to turn auto off on with the remstar auto? It is an older one without cflex, but it is an auto.

Thanks

This may be what you're looking for:

Patient disconnect setting: 1 = on 0 = off

(It's near the end of the options.)

I turn mine off with my index finger, that way, I don't show a large leak in my data. Jim

I think it's the nature of the beast!

When you breath into the mask the air flow should automatically come on.

If you remove the mask (and DO NOT press the on/off dutton) the air flow will go to the low pressure after a few seconds. Then airflow will automatically turn off within 2 minutes.

These are features that ARE, I don't think that there is any provision for turning then off, other than pressing the on/off button before they kick in.

goofproof, are you saying that if you don't turn the machine off with the buttons, but leave it running and just disconnect it from the mask while, let's say, going to the bathroom, that registers as a large mask leak? I thought the machine could sense whether or not you had the mask off or on, thus the "blower hours" versus "therapy hours."

Forgive me, four week newbie.

I turned the patient disconnect to 1 and still doesn't work. It doesn't even alert me of a large leak.

Snoredog, I used another apap for about 3 years with auto off and not once had that problem.

Works now that I powered it off and then back on. Thanks

It shows up as a leak and gets avg into the figures. I don't know if it thinks you died, or are trying to play games with it, but that button is real easy to figure out how to use. Some don't play the data game, so for them it doesn't matter.

The machine hours can't be user reset, the user hours can be from the chincal screen. I figure as with everything I own, we get a limited numbers hours of use out of it, so I try to use mine for what it's designed for. Jim

The two types of hours are to warn you if someone tries to sell you a unit for new thats used.
