Mask Off Alert
#1
Mask Off Alert
Is there any way to get an alert if the mask comes off while I am asleep?  I use a Resmed S10 Autoset.  Can it make a sound? Can it send an alert to my iPhone?  Anything. So that I wake up and replace the mask.

Thanks,
Dave

RE: Mask Off Alert
Yes, there's an alert for mask off, at least sort of. What I've used when I had trouble taking the mask off is called Leak Alert. This is on the ResMed xPap. From Home, go to My options and scroll down to Leak Alert and turn it on.

You can’t enable leak alert if you have auto start turned on one or the other for obvious reasons

Yep, that is correct. I've got both options off after being on the ASV one month. Never used auto start/stop anyway. FWIW Ironically, I never heard the leak alert as I was asleep.
