New User Needs Provider Manual for REMstarAuto M Series

Coolhandace · Post by **Coolhandace** » Sat Jan 13, 2007 1:27 am

I have been using CPAP for one month now. Thank you, this forum given me a lot of very useful information.

I have been using the Resmed auto machine. I have been waking up about once an hour during the night. I have read in this forum that the Resmed can wake you up because of its more aggressive programming. I decided that I wanted to try the Respironics Remstar Auto M Series to see if it wakes me up like the Resmed. Could someone please email me the M Series Provider Manual?

Tonight is my first night using the RemstarAuto. I will try it for the next few weeks to see if it works better for me than the Resmed. I will let you know how it goes.

Bob, the manual can be purchased cheaply enough. E-Bay has them for about $6-$7. And they are e-mailed to you immediately upon receipt of payment. I don't have the particular manual you want or I would e-mail it to you. I purchased a Resmed manual there, same person has the various Respironics manuals.

Why spend good money when they can be found in many posts on this forum.
Just start searching.

Is this what you were looking for?

Remstar M-Series Provider Setup Guide

You must use the Provider Setup Guide to get the machine properly configured for the treatment you want. To do so, first unplug the machine. Then, hold down both the Left and Right Arrow buttons while plugging the power cord back in. When you hear 3 beeps, release the buttons.

The setup menu navigation and options are extensive. Press the + key to get to the setup features. The first five screens set the machine up for CPAP or AUTO, the CPAP pressure, the AUTO range (4-20 cm H20 in 0.5 cm increments), and the C-Flex setting (0-3).

This machine includes the option of a Ramp Time and Ramp start pressure. NOTE: Others have reported that the Ramp function was not available in earlier Remstar machines when they were in Auto mode, but it can be used in Auto mode with the M-series.

Finally, you have a Mask Alert, Auto On/Off a feature that turns the machine off when you remove the mask during the night, Split Night Study, Show AHI/Leak data on the Patient Screen (you definitely want to turn on this feature so you can monitor your data from the screen while in patient mode), and a Patient Reminder.

When you finish, press the Power button to get back to Patient/User Mode.

Thank you for the post. I wanted to turn on the AHI screen so I can monitor myself. Your instructions did the trick.

My AHI was 0.5 last night is that good?

0.5 is great. Anything under 5.0 docs consider successfully treated.
