REMstar plus

[Bear]

I have a REMstar| plus (model 1005960) cpap and my setting is 9 and have been on it for almost a year I have gained some weight in that year and want to move it up to a higher setting can anyone tell me how to do this as I have lost my user manual. I really don't want to go for another sleep study to get the doctor to do it as it was hard enough the first time.

If you want to contact me off board please PM me or send me an email to bigtrucker_bear@yahoo.com.

Thanks ahead of time.

P.S. I do not have two little buttons under the display screen as on the new REMstar plus machines I have the "domestic" model three buttons on the top (ramp up button, humidifier on/off, and the on/off button thats all.
Just like the one in my avatar to the left, 3 buttons not 5.

You wouldn't happen to have links to other respironics clinicians manual PDFs would you?

Sorry, but I don't have any other links to Respironics Manuals.
I do know how to do some clinical adjustments on the RemStar Plus M series w/C flex, but I'd probably get banned from the board if I offered
them!
If I had a link, OTOH, no harm is done (by me, anyway) LOL

You will find what you seek with a search for CPAP on E-bay.

I have the same machine and I tried to follow the link provided, but it no longer works. My sleep physcian told me to look online to find out how to lower my pressure, but I keep finding the directions for the wrong type of cpap. I only have three buttons on mine. Can anyone help?!

Try this link..scroll down till you see Remstar Plus (This older model has 3 buttons on the top,)

Go to http://www.apneaboard.com. They have manuals that you can download. Don't know if they have that particular one but they probably will. That said, do you feel tired etc. Lack of sleep can cause weight gain but sometimes it's just plain overeating.

THANK YOU PUGSY!! This is exactly what I was looking for. I had gastric by-pass in 2006. I had a study after I lost weight, but still had a little apnea. And since I have narcolepsy as well, it was throwing a wrench in my whole sleep process! I would use it at night, but then my "other" stomach would blow up and talk about feeling bloated for days!!!

My doctor actually wants me to do another study and try the bi-pap, but I can't afford a study right now. So he suggested I try to find out how to adjust it online. Don't try and call Respronics, they have a cow because you have to have a prescription to adjust the pressure. Won't even let you get a word in edgewise.

Anyway, thank heavens for this forum and for all of you. I loved my cpap before and hope that I can love it agin.

No problem. Glad to help. FWIW...if you can find a BiPaP on craigslist that has data capabilites (even the older models) we could probably help you zero in on a comfortable pressure that takes care of the apneas and won't blow you up like a balloon. Much cheaper than a new sleep study which are of course the most ideal way to go but sometimes we just can't swing the cost of "ideal". Software is out there and even the smart card reader for the older Respironics machines is still available for around $40.

Should you find yourself able to go that route then just drop me a line and I can help you figure out how to get and use the software.

I use a BiPap...not because of bloating...but just because it is so very comfortable and I actually found I finally feel so much better on it than my APAP. I can sure see where the different pressures would really help someone fighting aerophagia.

If you are unsure about which BiPaps offer data...send me a note if you are interested at sometime in going down that road and I will explain them further. I have seen some really cheap BiPaps (older models with data) on craigslist. Just a thought to put on the back burner in case you still have problems after adjusting your current machine.

I will definitely keep this post and your information for reference as I am sure my doctor will continue to try and get me on the bi-pap. Thanks again and I'll be talking to you!
