I am trying to change my pressure to match my new prescription. On my machine, I don't see any display area. There are three screws holding the "box" together. How can I tell where the pressure currently is so I can change it correctly? Thanks (in advance) for your help!!!

I'm told you get a BIG hammer then:

To adjust the treatment or start pressure, you will need a reference manometer with a sensor tube and a standard Luer taper fitting.

The Hour Meter on the underside of the flow generator will display the treatment pressure while in pressure setting mode. However, a manometer should be used when accurate pressure setting required. If not using a manometer, disregard #3 and attach the hose and mask to the CPAP.

1. Assemble the flow generator as the patient would normal use it, but do not connect the mask system. Ensure that SmartStart is disabled (Elite model only).

2. Turn on the flow generator to allow the unit to warm up. If the motor does not start running, press the START button to start the flow. Let the flow generator warm up for 15 minutes.

3. Remove the plug from one of the access ports on the mask and attach the Luer taper end of the sensor tube. Attach the other end of the sensor tube to the manometer.

Setting the Treatment Pressure

1. Press the STOP button and turn the flow generator off.

2. Connect the mask system to the air tubing.

3. Hold down the START and “20” buttons while you turn on the main power switch at the rear of the flow generator. Hold the buttons down until the START and “20” buttons illuminate.

4. Block the opening of the mask with the palm of your hand. (Do not block the mask exhalation vent.)

5. Read the pressure on the manometer. Use the “5” button to decrease pressure and the “10” button to increase pressure.

6. Press the Stop button to revert to normal operating mode.

where is the main power switch? on the back of my machine there is a cord coming out of a "little door" I can't get the door open and i don't see a power switch of any kind anywhere else.

When I wanted to reset the pressure, I just unplugged it.
Then I pushed the appropriate buttons while plugging it back in the outlet.

I hope this helps.

You should consult your doctor about any pressure changes, not a bunch of strangers on an internet forum!

Thank you to those who helped me.
I am not stupid enough to do something I shouldn't, but I also don't believe it is necessary to make a visit.It took me 30 seconds and I saved gas, time & money!

i have a couple of questions.
first, i am new to this forum but i have been using my cpap for 6+ years.
i honestly didn't know there was a venue such as this.
i am glad to know there are people to share my experience with and to gain experience from.
however, i'm not sure about the tone people take with each other on this forum (example: calling each other fools and getting sort of mean}.
is this all in fun or is this for real?
next, to the person who thinks my dme should be the one to set my pressure-why, when it was so easy for me to do as i stated in my previous post.

Her DME probably doesn't know how to set the pressure on a machine that old, two weeks ago he was burning fries at McDee's. He may have taken your old job. Jim

Which reason do you use?

Hi

Firstly, welcome to the forum. I'm sorry if my post has given you a negative impression of the group. While we do have our little differences, this is a fairly well behaved bunch. You can read through many, many posts and mostly you will battle to find more than the odd tease between members. However, we can be a little passionate about the right to manage our own treatment here, and this is one of the only places that you will find such a committed group, dedicated to taking ownership of our treatment, and helping each other with information and support.

I called the anonymous guest a fool, partly because he had no right to criticise someone for wanting information nor to criticise the forum for supplying it, but mostly because he didn't bother to read actual post being replied to and was therefore attacking the forum for something which was factually incorrect.

Maybe calling him a fool in public was a little harsh, and I wouldn't normally have done it that way, but sending him a PM was out of the question because he chose to remain anonymous.

I'm happy to apologise to you if my wording offended you at all, but I'm not inclined to apologise to rude anonymous guests.

Colin
