ResMed Autoset 2 AUTOSTART question

Post by jrcmlc » Fri Dec 04, 2009 7:14 pm

I have an autoset 2 and notice that it doesn't allow the "auto start" feature to be enabled with a full face mask. That's too bad as I'd grown accustomed to it from my previous machine. I already read elsewhere that it's bad to 'cheat' the system and tell it you don't have a full face Mirage, or whatever, does anyone know of another, safe, approved workaround, or must I get used to climbing in the closet every night (behind my bed) and turning it on and off?

Thanks in advance.

Ah that would explain a lot... my equipment provider couldn't figure out why I couldn't put the autostart mode on either (I have a full face mask).

I don't know if it is possible, but I'd be interesting in knowing too.

If your "leak alarm" is on, you can't have the auto-on feature on. Turn off the leak alarm, then turn on the auto start.

If your leak alarm is OFF, and you still can't turn on the auto start, then you have to change your mask selection. I don't know why they do it, but they won't let you use the auto start with certain mask settings.
