Auto Algorithm
Leak Management
Patient leak rate depends upon device pressure. For any given pressure level, the REMstar Auto algorithm compares the measured patient leak rate to an expected
amount of leak from the exhalation device in the mask. The robust REMstar Auto algorithm tolerates a wide range of leak fluctuations. If the measured patient
leak rate significantly increases above the expected leak for an extended period of time, the enhanced Encore report indicates this large leak by displaying a black bar.
Instead of falsely increasing pressure when a large leak is detected, our novel technology compensates by decreasing pressure in an attempt to re-seal the mask on the patient’s face. It’s safer for the patient and helps to provide uninterrupted sleep.
