new intellipap autoadjust

Post by elvyn » Thu Feb 23, 2012 7:43 pm

Hi all,

I've recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and just ordered a new intellipap autoadjust together with humidifier.

Any ideas on how to setup this device?

regards,

EG

When you ordered yoyr CPAP they must have required a prescription. Don't they set the CPAP to the prescribed pressure before they ship it??

If you ordered it online it should come with the clinician's manual which will tell you how to set it up. Most bricks and mortor vendors set the pressure(s) to what is written on your prescription, then trash the clinician's manual.

Make sure you play around with the I-rounding and E-rounding. Those settings are important to make the machine breathe naturally. Factory default settings are rather harsh. The rounding smooths the transition from exhalation to inhalation and inhalation to exhalation.
