Hi again,

As was suggested, the Autoset Respond is sensitive to the mask that is used due to the leak compensation. If the mask setting is incorrect then the treatment received will not be "appropriate." (As the resmed does not store diagnostic information, I figured that the first response above was incorrect).

This is from the "horses mouth," i.e. resmed. They were not specific about the effects but were clear about the fact that the settings are there for a reason and appropriate treatment means appropriate settings.

6 months of waking in the night wondering what was going on with the machine that was supposed to help me sleep.

When will they learn that the machines should have transparent instructions (for the patient and not for the clinician ... who in my case "forgot" to change the settings).

Thanks again for the responses,
Selims
