ResMed's AutoSet T actually finds the pressure that the user needs. Other machines may require a physician to preprogram a pressure range in which the machine will operate. If a person needs more or less pressure than specified in the range, the machine will not be able to satisfy that requirement. The AutoSet T responds to snoring, apneas, and flow limitation. It also compensates for mask leak.
Most devices respond in an incremental fashion until the event is resolved.
The AutoSet T has been clinically validated in peer-reviewed journals. Massie and Hart conducted a study that showed the AutoSet T provides efficacious treatment at lower pressures, increases patient compliance, and improves outcomes. 20 November, 2000.
