Can I find out the actural pressure setting from my machine?

Post by mibbim » Thu Mar 03, 2022 10:51 am

Hi, Can I find out the actual pressure setting from my machine? I have a air curve 10 bipap machine now, the original order says EPAP min 6, IPAP max 15, PS 3cm. ramp start 4 for 45 minutes. The doctor who ordered this left u of M, so I have a new doctor now. She ordered a new same model cpap machine with a setting EPAP 5 and IPAP 10. I don't remember if my old doctor ever adjust the pressure after the inital order paper. So not sure if the IPAP 10 is correct or not. I have seen it went up to 15 at the other night when I woke up in the middle of night. So is there anyway I can check the actual setting from my current machine? The new doctor says that's my current setting... but just want to make sure. Thx!

When you turn on the machine, the pressure setting appears at the top of the screen.

This setting is equal to 5 exhale and 10 inhale with a PS of 5....fixed pressure.

Which new machine did you get?

You can go here and request the clinical/provider manual for your machine and in that manual it will tell you how to get to the clinical setup menu area where you can see all your settings and modes.

when I turn on the machine, it doesn't show my pressure setting on the top of screen. It goes to the 45 minutes ramp, shows the range 4 to 7.
I am getting the same resmed aircurve 10 Vauto. My old one is 5 years old, just though may be good to be a backup one just in case.
