Abstract
A method for managing a set of active straps for a positive airway pressure (PAP) mask including detecting a pressure value with a pressure sensor, analyzing the pressure value with a processor for identifying an adjustment of the set of active straps, and performing the identified adjustment with the set of active straps.
Claims10
A method for managing a set of active straps for a positive airway pressure (PAP) mask, the method comprising:
- detecting a mask air pressure value of an air volume contained by the PAP mask to determine whether an air leak has occurred;
- detecting a force pressure value measured between the PAP mask and a face with a force pressure sensor;
- responsive to detecting an air leak, analyzing the force pressure value with a processor for identifying an adjustment of the set of active straps;
- and
- performing the identified adjustment with the set of active straps.
