ResMed CPAP devices have been designed and manufactured to provide
optimum performance using ResMed mask systems. Other mask systems may
be used. However, swings and delivered pressure with non-ResMed masks
may be different from those with ResMed masks. If in doubt, measure
delivered pressure at the mask. Masks with extremely low exhaust vent flow
(less than 15 L/min at 4 cm H
rises in the delivered air than normally expected.
Use of non-ResMed masks may also affect the SmartStart and SmartStop fea-
tures of the CPAP device.
• Inadvertent triggering of SmartStop in high leak situations is more likely in
masks with particularly high exhaust vent flow rates. It is important to
confirm that SmartStart works correctly in these masks when the leak has
reduced somewhat, so that therapy is restarted promptly.
• When the combined flow resistance of the mask and tubing system is too
high, the device may not SmartStop when the mask is off the face and
may continue to log usage hours.
