Re: CMS50E won't connect

Need to get cpap data analyzed

I have questions as to whether my auto cpap settings are right. I'm told by technician at the place I purchased machine that it's doing it's job. I'm in doubt it is as my sleep study indicated I needed a setting of 14. They set the machine on auto cpap 6-14. I've had it a couple of months and have n...
