    It would appear that I may owe ProBasics and PUBLIC APOLOGY!!! The Zzz-Mask full face mask has a one way valve design The one way valve design of the exhalation port is designed to help to minimize CO2 retention.

    According to Resmed if using a non-Resmed mask we should use the Standard Mask Selection. But - I did something today I so often preach - READ THE MANUAL!!!!

    In VAuto mode, only ResMed masks are compatible for use with the VPAP Auto.

    Now I have to go find which Resmed full mask or masks has/have a one way valve design and compare the allowed vent rates to determine WHICH Mask Selection I SHOULD be using!!!

    Mirage Vista™ Nasal Mask
    • Ultra Mirage™ Nasal Mask
    • Ultra Mirage™ II Nasal Mask
    • Mirage Activa™ Nasal Mask.

    Just goes to show you how dangerous a little knowledge can be!!!!!!!!

    Ooops, and yes, I know when in Standard mode I have to add 24 L/M to the reported leak rate which I didn't do when I told you the reported Leak rate w/the Zzz-Mask. But they were still the BEST reported Leak rates I've gotten since starting CPAP in 2006.

    And ha! ha! on me: I left it in Standard Mask Selection which switching masks.
