How to know the PR autosv is working right?

Post by danielqk » Sat Feb 21, 2015 9:25 pm

I am going to purchase a used 2000 hrs PR BiPAP Auto SV Advanced-System One 950 from Craigslist.
The seller said he bought it from a friend DME who doesn't want to fix/support this model.

How to know this machine is working right?

I can calibrate setting pressure with a manometer but this machine algorithm is complicated
and not simple as cpap or autopap

What are the problems with the machine? I don't know any individual who can service these, but you might want to PM Accurate who is a member of this forum and services machines.

the modern computer controlled machines usually either work or don't.... they usually don't get 'off'... at least I haven't heard about that happening.

you could always just ship it to accurate for testing if needed.
