Okay, thanks for the information. So, my question then is this: If they meant a PS of 5, do I put min at 0 and max at 5? (I'll call the doctor's office tomorrow to verify what the actual prescription is supposed to be).palerider wrote:well, there's a fundamental flaw in your prescription, in that it's not *possible*. 17/12 is a PS of 5, that's why the machine isn't giving you a higher possible number. it was written by someone that either doesn't know what they're doing, or wasn't paying attention.Shinino wrote:Okay. I'm having a problem during setup. I was able to set the Max IPAP to 17, and the Min EPAP to 12, but my PS is supposed to be 6. There's a MIN PS and a MAX PS, but both are between 0 and 5. How do I set these?
I'm also not sure what to set for Bi-Flex (1-3), Humidifier (1-3), Ramp Time, Ramp Start, Resistance, Mask Alert, Mask Fit Check, Humidifier (I presume on), Split Night, Silent Mode,
you could set the max ipap at 25 and a maxps of 6, maybe minps of 4, and see how things go tonight.
biflex, humidifier ramp, ramp start are all comfort features, there's no 'right' setting.
resistance is probably best left at zero, mask alert on, or off as you like, mask fit check on, (lets you do a mask test to see if leaks are ok at that point) split night off, silent mode probably off, unless you like the thing making noises and beeps at you.
Also, what do the numbers mean for Bi-Flex, Humidifier, Ramp Time and Ramp Start?
