How to locate user manuals to change Cpap settings

Post by FredAstair » Mon Oct 25, 2021 4:14 pm

Although I feel this should readily be available, Incan understand that some would see this as dangerous as people could change their settings incorrectly.

My issue is that I buy my machine overseas and when my local doctor wishes to change my setting they won’t allow it and want me to send my machine back to the country I bought it.

This is a big issue, so wondering if anyone found how to locate these settings manuals so I can have my doctor set my machine to the level which is best suited to me.

And no. I don’t have a new style apap.

Why would you have a doctor, who isn't familiar with your CPAP machine, adjust the settings?

A qualified Doctor should know how.

Post your machine, and basic information, OSCAR charts and people here can guide you to proper therapy.

That is what we call "A lie".
There's NOTHING "dangerous" about changing settings, the worst possible thing would be 'less than optimal treatment" and given that almost everyone that sets out to change their settings is doing it because they're not getting good results from their doctor, most people have nowhere to go but 'better'.

You can frequently just google up the clinical manual, or go to apneaboard and either read the instructions, or request a manual by email.
