PB 420E setting question

Post by EDBRAD » Thu Jul 24, 2008 4:26 pm

I have been inching my pressure up for a few weeks now. ahi steadily decreasing but stil running 3 to 6.5. i am at 13 for an initial pressure with my floor presure at 11.5, 17 for the upper.I was wondering about the setting for the maximum pressure for command on apnea.Should this be set near the initial setting, above, below or what. appreciate any advice

Thanks
Ed

If it isn't the initial, try it there, and inch it up gradually from there if you don't see things getting better.

I run at very low pressure, my 90% is 7, and I set my pressure for response to apnea at 8 or 7.5 - rarely reach either. (Min. 6, initial 7, max 9 - but it will only go there if I snore, and I don't snore....).
