SmartStart
This is my first post!  My SmartStart will start when I breathe into it but once I take it off it will not STOP, what am I doing wrong?

I think some machines have a SmartStart and a SmartStop. Don't know if yours does but that might be it.

Edit: Ok...it only has SmartStart so it should be stopping a few seconds after you take off the mask. Forget I said anything.

RE: SmartStart
My AS10 takes about 5 seconds to shut off, but I always use the top button to stop it running so that I don't get a 5 second large leak which would mess up my leak statistics. Big Grin

RE: SmartStart
Reading about the same problem in a different forum someone suggested taking your filter out and putting it back in...or replacing it if it's dirty...fixed the same issue for them.

RE: SmartStart
I'll try changing the filter too and see if that does it.  It was doing it in the past and I don't remember if I unplugged the machine to move it or what but now it is
not doing it!  I'll try the filter and thanks everyone for the responses!

RE: SmartStart
SmartStart doesn't reliably work with some pressures and nasal pillow sizes.

For example, some small or extra-small nasal pillows may still provide enough back pressure for SmartStart to not detect that a person is  attached.

RE: SmartStart
I use the smart start feature and it shuts off within 5-10 seconds of removing my mask.
I use the P10 nasal pillow.

Not to be confused with the cool down feature, which runs for a lot longer.
