Abstract
A system and method of identifying a patient interface device change in a pressure support system having a controller based on a mask and a headgear worn by a user. A set of force sensors and strap distance sensors are associated with the mask and the headgear such that a controller is able to assess current operational parameters of the mask and headgear. The controller further determines if there is a difference in the current operational parameters when compared to prestored operational parameters. The controller then assesses whether or not the determined change in the operational parameters indicates that the mask worn by the user has been changed.
