Changing pressure in My Setup

Post by Jackiep » Sun Oct 09, 2016 4:47 pm

I have a Dreamstation APAP....want to increase the pressure . When I go to My Set Up...it shows Ramp with a lock symbol and my pressure set at 6 (I do not use the ramp feature ). Just want to try a little higher pressure to see if that would decrease hypopneas. Can I do it or do I have to have my provider do it? Thanks

go to apneabored and request the super sekrit clinical manual, it'll tell you how to get into the hidden menu, and more importantly, what all those things in there mean.

How did you go - was it easy to change?

why don't you get a manual and find out?
