SleepyHead sometimes has a little problem sorting out the exhale relief settings.
Minor software bug. Nothing you can do about it. Doesn't affect the other data being reported at all.
Other than being maybe a little bit annoying it doesn't hurt a thing.

You might confirm for sure that it is in AFlex mode though...just to make sure.
Should be easy to see on the LCD screen and if you don't have access to the LCD screen you can go into the clinical set up menu and turn on that access as well as see exactly which Flex it is set at.
Just because it says AFlex on the machine doesn't mean that it doesn't have the ability to do CFlex because it does.
If you don't know how to go into the clinical setup menu this explains how and there's also a little video at the bottom of the page.

You might also request the clinical manual from here as it also offers some additional information that might be of use to you.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

The Respironics model 560 can be setup in what they call C-Flex or C-Flex+ when it is set to CPAP mode instead of APAP mode. In APAP mode on the 560 you can choose A-Flex. The label near the knob on the machine says A-Flex but it can completely emulate the model 460 CPAP with C-Flex+.
