ResMed AirSense10 For Her -- turn it off?
On the ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset 10 For Her:
can the For Her algorithm be turned off?
If so, this would presumably switch to the standard AutoSet mode.
(I know the AirSense 11 does not have a For Her model, but supposedly you can select a For Her option within setup, probably in Clinician mode). //

Yes, in the clinician menu there is a Mode option that you set to CPAP, Auto, or Auto for Her. Just select the mode you want.
I have an AutoSet for Her, and used it in the Auto mode. I didn't find the "for her" mode to my liking. In you set the mode to Auto, you might want to set the Response to Soft or Standard. I like the Soft setting.

My AS-10 is set for CPAP mode, since it was an 'emergency' replacement for my verified crumbling Dreamstation (CPAP).
Yes, in the Clinician menus, you can change modes. Access to the configuration is restricted because a user could indeed make changes (to mode and other settings) that could be harmful.
Your provider may be able to turn the "her" mode off remotely.

I don't think there's any possible harm that could come from turning off Auto For Her and using Auto instead. Ditto for switching between Soft and Standard.
I agree that pressure settings shouldn't be changed willy nilly, but for people who use Oscar and have expert advice (e.g., from this forum), changing those settings can work very well, especially if the respiratory specialist is slow to respond to requests or thinks "Well, your AHI is below 5, so you're doing fine, so I'm not changing anything for you."
