<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) apparatus for characterizing a plurality of different mask systems, e.g., masks and hoses. <P>SOLUTION: The CPAP apparatus 10 can be calibrated for different mask systems 14 and hoses 16 by including sensors 13, 15 configured to measure flow and pressure at a flow generator 12 of the CPAP apparatus 10. When the flow generator 12 is fitted to a new mask system, or any changes are made to an existing mask system 14, mask or patient interface 34 and/or hose 16, a method of calibrating the flow generator 12 for the new mask system 14, mask 34 and/or hose 16 is provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
