23How to Use the VPAP Menus
SmartStart™
The VPAP has a function called SmartStart which can be enabled by your
clinician. If SmartStart is enabled, VPAP will start automatically when you
breathe into the mask and will stop automatically when you take your mask
off. This means you do not have to press the Front key to begin or end
treatment.
Note: If you select “Mir Full” as the mask option, SmartStop is
automatically disabled. SmartStart may not work with an Ultra Mirage Full
Face Mask due to safety features of the mask.
When Mask Alarm is set to ON, SmartStart/Stop automatically reverts to
OFF. SmartStop cannot be used with Mask Alarm because if a high leak
occurs, SmartStop will stop treatment before the Mask Alarm signal is
activated.
