Re: Z2 Auto not ramping up

Yes, APAP I definitely on because I set the minimum and maximum. The problem is that it doesn't ramp automatically so I paid for an APAP but essentially have a CPAP. It doesn't sense and ramp up when it should.

Re: Z2 Auto not ramping up

I bumped the initial pressure up to 8. The pressure didn't fluctuate at all and my AHI was good - 1.33.

This means I got the Z2 working but it's pretty much in CPAP mode, the APAP doesn't seem to work.

Re: Z2 Auto not ramping up

Your are expecting the Z2 Auto to act and respond like the ResMed and the simple fact is they are 2 different brands with 2 different algorithms and it's like comparing apples and oranges. They just don't taste the same despite both being fruits. ResMed auto adjusting algorithms are well known to b...

Re: Z2 Auto not ramping up

After disabling auto-on-off and bumping the initial pressure to 6, the results are worse than the night before; around 1am I had an AHI of 34 and the pressure was 8.7. At midnight and 5am AHI was around 13 with a pressure of ~7. Clearly the Z2 isn't responding as it should. Is this a problem with my...

Re: Z2 Auto not ramping up

Thanks for the response. I am using the same settings at my Airsense. It's actually set for auto 5 to 15 on both machines. Maybe I need to bump it up to start at 5.5 or 6. I think I'll try that. My home machine is a Resmed Airsense 10 Which pressure setting are you using with this machine? My settin...

Z2 Auto not ramping up

My home machine is a Resmed Airsense 10 with F&P Vitera full face mask; it works well - I usually have less than 2 AHI. However, I just bought a Z2 Auto for travel, which is really nice and compact and quiet... but I cannot get this machine to ramp up so my AHI is 7+ (some hours its as high as 17). ...
