Re: changing pressure settings on a dreamstation gen 1 bipap st
Thank you. I was able to change it. I was making it harder than it was. I was trying to find the setting to hit the ramp and knob. You are not in any category when you open the therapy settings. Thank you

Re: changing pressure settings on a dreamstation gen 1 bipap st
I sent my machine back for the recall. Since the bipap st is so expensive PR stopped making them. There is no gen 2 bipap st. They replaced the insulation and sent another machine of the same type back. I went to google and youTube first, then I came here Thank you though

changing pressure settings on a dreamstation gen 1 bipap st
Can anyone help me change my settings on a dream station gen 1 bipap st? I have done it before but am failing miserably. My Dr wants me to record my #'s at different settings over 5 weeks. I am giving up tonight and will try tomorrow. Thanks

Re: Philips recall priority update
If you have not talked to a Phillips representative and answered a questionaire about the recall please do it. I just got off of the phone with one. I called out of frustration. She said that the recall is scheduled by the end of the year but if you want priority you must contact them. They will not...

Re: problems Exhaling
When you did your sleep study did they test you for bipap? I can not use a cpap. I can not exhale. The bipap has a lower exhalation pressure setting. I exhale at 1/2 of my inhalation pressure. I felt like I was suffocating. It raised anxiety and panic. After they tried bipap I did better

Re: Using CPAP in hosptial - adding N95 material?
As was suggested earlier an inline viral/bacterial filter wouldn't hurt. They just simply fit where your hose attaches to your machine. Unhook the hose attach the filter like the hose then reattach the hose.

Re: Sticky: Phillips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread
I have had issues sleeping without bipap. I bought the bacterial filters. Should that help or am I still at risk if I started using my machine again?

Re: Type of sleep test needed to be prescribed a APAP machine versus CPAP?
I took a normal split study(2 night) sleep test at a hospital. I did horrible a AHI of 69. I was prescribed a bipap. It took my apneas down but not all of the way. The Dr then changed the prescription to a bipap st with noninvasive ventilation if I don't breath. I have a combination apnea. Both obst...

Re: Complete change in blood work
I have downloaded oscar. My #’s on Oscar the past few days has shown an AHI of 1.2 - 3.5. The only #’s I had to use were on the Dreammapper app. These are now showing around 7.3 -8.5. There is a huge difference.

Re: Bleep/DreamPort nasal mask review thread
I tried unhooking from the hose at the diffuser. I pulled the diffuser out and had issues. Day 2 went perfect.
