Hi, Can you post your equipment? There is printing on the front face of the unit that tells you what unit you have. For example it might say "BiPAP Pro" or "BiPAP Auto". On the back the label will have a similar statement and then below the wording on the upper left hand side of the lebel it will pr...

Hi,

Just a quick update, the revised liner contines to work well and I have no incidents of "large Leaks."

Cheers

Hello, I am planning to spend about three nights aboard a houseboat in the Florida Keys next month. Since I will be away from all shore power, I plan on using a 12 volt DC power source to operate my CPAP. I have read somewhere that when using this type of power I should not use the humidifier, due ...

My Quattro FX Headgear is killing my ears. I have these sores right on the top of where the ear cartilage begins next to my side burns. I wonder if there is fix out there. Hi, might want to see my post on a new FX Mask Liner. A liner may help you re-arrange and reduce the tension in your head gear....

If there is a jumper on the back it is only on the 12V models. Respironics made about 3 diff models of the M humidifier, I think only 1 was 12v. I know mine is AC and has no jumper. Yup, GumbyCT is correct. The R-3 humidifier is the 12 volt version (it is the one with the two different length conne...

Hi, Sorry, was AFK. Glad you found how to change the setting. For others it can be found in the "User's" "Setup Menu". If it doesn't show up in the "User's" "Setup Menu" menu that is because it as been turned off in the "Clinical" "Setup Menu". If you can see the setting but cannot change it is beca...

Hi,

What is your "System1 Resistance" setting? I am using the Resmed Quattro FX and use a setting of "X1" and appear to be getting correct information. The System 1 Resistance" setting will affect the numbers that EncorePro 2 reports.

That's good to hear! I rarely have to use my FF Quatro - only if allergies get really bad or get a cold. But when I do, I notice the cushion ages when I'm not even wearing it. I wondered if it was a natural breakdown of silicone or if I just contacting skin even if the cushion is washed well will c...

Hi, I have been working with Karen, from Pad-A-Cheek, to improve the fit of the Resmed Quattro FX mask liner and to develop a set of pads for the upper mask connection (to cover the area where the mask/head gear the goes across the cheek bones just below your eyes.) After a few prototypes, I am happ...

Hi, If the machine is "acting up" then try pressing ramp. That should settle it down and let it recover. I have found that mask leaks can cause my unit to sometimes just go off into "Never Never" land. I used ramp to stop the crazies and have over time adjusted both my mask's head grar tension and l...

Welcome. Your on the right path to taking charge of your therapy just by finding and starting to interact with this forum. First, let your sleep doctor do their thing. Let them know that you would like to actively help them control your therapy and recovery from long term Severe Obstructive Sleep Ap...

Hi, First the PS setting is just for the BiPAPs and the BiPAP advanced models. Second I will PM you a report set from Encore Pro for a BiPAP Auto. Third, Here is the explination of how PS works on a Respironics BiPAP auto in layman terms (quoted from JNK) As an illustration, think of inhale and exha...

PS? Pressure Support? I have no idea what that is.. Does it show in Encore? A screenshot would be awesome.. PS shows up in the pressure graph and is visible in the single graph that shows both IPAP and EPAP. It does not show up directly but is visible a because it can force either EPAP or IPAP to m...
