Using the Mask-Fit Feature
This device includes a mask-fit feature to help you fit your mask properly. If a Ramp time is
selected, the mask can be adjusted at a pressure closer to the prescribed pressure. To use
the mask-fit feature:

2 Hold down the Start/Stop key for at least two seconds until air pressure delivery starts

.
The flow generator will ramp to the mask-fit pressure

and will remain at this pressure
for three minutes.
3 If necessary, adjust your mask, mask cushion and headgear to reduce leak and check
your mask-fit star rating again on the LCD screen.
4 After three minutes, treatment will begin.
If you do not wish to wait three minutes, hold down the Start/Stop key for at least
two seconds and treatment will begin immediately.
If you press the Start/Stop key for less than two seconds, the device will return to
standby mode.
Stopping Treatment
To stop treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Start/Stop key
or
if the SmartStart function is enabled, simply remove your mask and treatment will end
(SmartStop is not applicable with the "Mir Full" mask setting and certain alarms; see

The LCD also displays a mask-fit star rating from zero to
five stars. Three to five stars indicate a good fit. Zero to
two stars indicate that you should adjust your mask.
