Resistance Control setting for Resmed AirFit F20 - aolamid - 02-09-2022
I've been digging through the provider menu for my new DS2, and found the "Mask Type" (apparently what Philips used to call Resistance Control) section which I can set to Off, X1, X2, X3, X4, or X5.
I have found lists online of the appropriate values for Philips masks, but I use a Resmed for which I have not found an appropriate setting. Anyone figured out what philips mask has a similar vent rate to the Resmed AirFit F20 full face mask, so I can use that setting?

I used to use X1 for that. Found that it made very little difference.

I notice that the philips published settings:
[DME Link Removed] Guide for Mask settings for System One Resistance Control
seem to have X1 type for the larger masks, and the higher X numbers for smaller masks.
So since my large-cushion Resmed Airfit F20 is big, I think X1 is what I will use.

I don't know what a "resistance control setting" is....?

Where Resmed uses a mask setting, Philips CPAPs use a resistance setting.
