Polaris Pressure Settings

Post by Donrisgold » Fri Jun 22, 2007 11:33 am

I have a polaris ISP9900 I cannot remember how the dealer showed me to adjust settings. I am suppose to be on 16 but we did a room change and I moved my cpap once I plugged it back in it will only peak at 7. I called the dealer and he says my prescription is old and I need to see my sleep dr to get a new prescription...I dont mind doing that but I am currently on 3 nights no sleep and a wife who hasnt had much more! To save my marriage I need to change this thing even if just temporarily till i see the doc ....any help would be greatly appreciated!!

In response to your other post, I gave you this thread to check. I'm not sure if it's the same model as your polaris.

Yes Ive even called tech support forr the product. The only answers I get is it has to be adjusted by the dealer. I cant get an appointment with a sleep dr for 5 more weeks. Im afraid by then Ill be divorced .... hahaha

Edit: I don't see where DSM wrote how to set the pressure, but you might PM him and ask.

I appreciate the time your spending on this for me... I found that post as well but apparently it has to do with pressure testing and the one line that gives a polaris link is to the specifications and not directions.... so I dunno but thanks still!

That's ridiculous. Start raising hell with your DME or Doctor. Are they really willing to make you wait 5 weeks without a machine? Are they willing to fight a lawsuit when you have a stroke or heart attack during that 5 weeks?

Raise Hell.

Sorry I couldn't help you find a solution. But PM DSM -- he will know how to change the settings, I'm sure.
