New Machine

Post by beachbum » Wed Nov 19, 2014 1:23 pm

I got a Remstar Auto A flex today, would appreciate info and tips for this machine. My machine was 15 yrs old so I,m sure I will have some questions about this new one. THANKS

The name of your machine is the same for many Resmed machines and series over years. Can you please give a more specific name and model # so we can try to help you?

Can you tell us the model number on the bottom of the blower unit? It's a 3 digit number with maybe DS, REF or P in front or behind it.

Most likely 560 or 550...once we know which model exactly we can better help you.
The 560 is the newest of the 2 Respironics APAP mode capable machines. AFlex is only available with the APAP machines so I am pretty sure you have either the 560 or the 550.
It would be very unusual for you to have been given one of the older Respironics APAPs that had AFlex available.
The Remstar part of the name..useless as Respironics has used it pretty much on all their machine models ever since they started making these machines.

So which model number and what are your questions? We are familiar with both the 60 series (the x60 part of the number) or the slightly older 50 series.

If you aren't in the US...you may have a different 3 digit...like a 1 instead of a 0 but that just denotes where the machine went to and doesn't affect what is available on the machines.
