Hi SandyW, I am not an expert on machines, but as it was explained to me - BiPAP vs CPAP is that a BiPAP starts with lower pressures, and then over time, builds to the correct pressure. My machine is set to start out at 9 for inhale and 4 for exhale, and after 4 hours ramps to 14 for inhale and 9 for exhale.[quote][/quote]
