pressure adjustment

Post by tpettigrew » Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:47 pm

Can anyone tell me how to adjust my pressure setting on my Remstar Pro 2 with C-flex. The doctor has recommended an adjustment from 11 to 13 cm of H2O but he is out of town and will not be back for three weeks. I had 298 apneic episodes on my 4th study a week ago and would like to go ahead and increase the setting. Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Sincerely,

unplug, hold down the two left-right buttons, keep holding, plug in, keep holding, clinician's menu will appear, let go, use the left-right buttons to scroll thru the menus, up-down to change settings:

Changing Pressure on Remstar APAP

Post by Lysander » Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:04 pm

Anyone know how to change the pressure on a Remstar APAP. My pressure settings are 6 to 16 and now over the course of a year I have never been above 11 and 90% of the time I am under 9. I would like to compress the range to something like 8-12.

Thanks
