Re: Using a CPAP before it's calibrated

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for the useful replies. I found the settings to adjust the pressure, etc. For whatever reason, the supplier made it seem like only a doctor would have access to those settings. Which of course isn't the case as I've found out.

Smokey smell coming from new cpap

Hello everyone! I'm new here. I just purchased a Luna 2 QA auto cpap machine and after running it for a while the first night, I took the mask off and noticed a smokey smell, almost cigar-like. This happens after I am running my machine for 20-30 minutes. A few things to note, 1. I didn't read the d...
