Decreasing airflow/pressure

Post by Bobmcdonld » Mon Sep 22, 2008 9:46 am

I am using the REMstar auto M series with A-Flex. At times I awaken with the sensation that too much air is being blown down me. Can I set this machine with a lower maximum airflow/pressure?

Thanks.

Bob
Pressure setting 6-16.
Flex 3

It all depends on how your machine is set up.
Have you gone through EVERY parameter in the (clinical) Setup menu? Write down each and every one of the categories and their settings on a piece of paper. THEN, we may be able to answer your questions.
Even with a straight pressure CPAP, at some point a person gets used to the air flow and perceives it to be lower than it is.
