What is " Auto CPAP mode"?

[mraroid]

Hi...

I am looking at buying a replacement machine because mine is about dead.  I have and want a bypap unit.  One unit I looked at had what is called a " Auto CPAP mode".  Can someone tell me what that is?

Thanks

Auto mode allows you to set a pressure range from a minimum to maximum and the auto Cpap or bipap will work within that set range during the night to give you the exact pressure you need at any given time.

Thanks again OpalRose. I just ordered the manual via email and hope to get it soon.

an auto cpap isn't a bipap/bilevel machine.
the philips dreamstation auto bipap is being talked about here

Thanks aJack.  I have a dead bypap machine now, so I am going to move to another bypap.  I decided on the DreamStation Auto BiPAP DSX700T11.

The model numbers and names arwere confusing to me.  I think I have the right model number now.

Thanks
