PR System One Series 60 with "Opti-Start"

Post by RichIam » Sun May 11, 2014 11:39 am

I have a Phillips PR System 60 with Opti-Start feature. Has anyone used this setting? If you have could you please tell me what it does and how to use it?

If I remember right, Opti start lets you put the mask on and start breathing to turn the machine on to your starting pressure instead of pushing the therapy button to turn the machine on.

It's a convenience feature. I use it and works well enough. If you use a FFM you might put a finer over the mask vent to create enough of a draw the machine turns on.

No, what you are thinking is "Auto On" feature.

Opti Start is supposed to be an enhanced auto adjusting pressure feature where it adjusts the pressure every 30 hours I think it is.
It's been discussed a little on the forum. Here is one person's explanation.
