4. Mask test
This parameter determines the time when the
device performs a mask test. Put on the mask
and start the device.
To ensure that the mask is tight while the pres-
sure slowly increases in the soft start ramp
even with higher pressures, you can program a
mask testing time of up to 90 seconds in 5-
second intervals. This mask test is carried out
before the ramp is started. It checks whether
the mask is tight even under the maximum the-
rapy pressure.
If the FLEXLINE mode is switched on, the
pressure is raised by 1 hPa at FLEX level 1,
2 hPa at FLEX level 2 and 3 hPa at FLEX level
3.
To set the mask test, first go to the Patient
menu (press the
button for approx. 1
second), then select »Mask test« with the
buttons
and
. Press the
button.
Now select the desired time by pressing the
buttons
and
. Press
to confirm.
