It depends on the model, however both the Respironics BiPAPs (660, 760) have a CPAP mode. It is the first setting in the clinical settings. The 650 and 750 also have CPAP mode.

You can "dumb down" most or all the machines to simply be CPAP. It doesn't work the other way, though. So, yeah. You should have no problem using a bilevel as CPAP...not sure why you'd want to, but that's up to you.

even the asv machines have "dull" or "exciting" settings. (at least the resmeds do)
