Adjusting S8 Series II

[sunsetblow]

I'm quite excited actually because I inherited the S8 Series II, which was barely ever used, from my mom who eventually thought it was uncomfortable and refused to use it. I've had sleep apnea for years and just never did anything about it... now I'm ready to try it out and hopefully feel good for the first time in ages.

How can I adjust and calibrate it so I can use it? Thanks so much in advance!

ResMed S8 Series:
To get into the provider setup mode in a ResMed S8 CPAP machine - such as the S8 Compact, S8 Elite or S8 AutoSet Vantage - follow these steps:

1. press the right and down arrows simultaneously for about 3 seconds until the word "clinical" appears
2. select Menu

Use the left and right arrows to cycle through the settings and use the up and down arrows to make adjustments. Below is a list of settings you can cycle through on an S8 AutoSet Vantage automatic CPAP machine. There are four groups of settings which have adjustments and data within them.

* Settings
o CPAP Mode
o Minimum CPAP Pressure
o Maximum CPAP Pressure
o Maximum Settling / Ramp
o Mask Type
o Tube Length
o Humidifier
o Smart Start
o Leak Alert
* Results
o Efficacy Data
o Usage Data
* Options
o Smart Data
o Reminders
o Factory Defaults
o Erase Data
o Date
o Time
o Menu Type
o Language
* Servicing
o Run Hours
o Serial Number
o PCV Number
o SW Number
o BR Number


Here's a search link for "homemade manometer" which will help verify the output of the machine:
