Resmed S9 Leaks and Mask?

Post by DJ_Boxer » Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:13 am

I have a Resmed S9 Autoset and I realised that I forgot to change my mask option from FFM to Nasal when using my Activa LT for about a week. I am wondering how much this would effect leak data in ResScan? Also I am having problems putting my Activa LT Cushion clip and Cushion back to the mask frame. Is anyone having this problem and how would I solve it? I love my Activa LT for its flexibility with the cushion.

DJ... Not sure I have the answer for the leak data, but I guess you could take a look at a FFM manual and the manual for your mask and see what the expected flow rate is. I don't know the pressure setting you are using, but for your mask, the user guide says your mask has a flow rate of 34 L/min vs 41 L/min if your pressure was 12cm. This can always be found in the User Guide. It looks like if you have it set to FFM though, it would under report the leaks as it would be expecting a greater flow rate.

I do believe the videos here (http://www.resmed.com/us/products/mirag ... s&sec=true) will show you how to put it back together.
