Auto Shutoff Not Working

RE: Auto Shutoff Not Working
You might have a wrong mask setting on, if its a full face mask and you're using nasal, the flow will be too little for the machine to determine that the mask is taken off.

This isn't always the case.  Resmed in fact warns that smart start may not work all of the time with nasal pillows.  AirSense 10 clinical manual:

[If the patient is using a nasal pillows mask with set pressure less than 7 cm H2O, SmartStart will not work and should be disabled]

RE: Auto Shutoff Not Working
Even if you have auto-Smart activated, it seems that many masks won't work with it. Only my Airfit P10 works the auto shut-off on my Resmed machine.
