pressure difference between IPAP and EPAP

[1210donna]

from what I've read, the pressure difference between IPAP and EPAP should be around 3-4 but my difference is consistently around 1.2-1.4

These were the differences so far:

IPAP 8.48
EPAP 7.23
DIFFERENCE OF 1.2

IPAP 6.99
EPAP 5.75
DIFFERENCE OF 1.24

IPAP 8.43
EPAP 7.04
DIFFERENCE OF 1.39

IPAP 7.75
EPAP 6.48
DIFFERENCE OF 1.27

IPAP 8.06
EPAP 6.68
DIFFERENCE OF 1.38

IPAP 7.88
EPAP 6.50
DIFFERENCE OF 1.38

The IPAP is at 15, the setting the machine came with
not sure what the EPAP is set to

any comments?

thanks

Your machine (the S9 AutoSet for Her) is an APAP. So it does not have IPAP and EPAP settings. So what exactly are you talking about?

These were the differences so far:

IPAP 8.48
EPAP 7.23
DIFFERENCE OF 1.2

Where are these numbers coming from????
Are these numbers coming from SH's data summary? If so, then they have something to do with what your EPR setting is. And on an AutoSet, those numbers will never exceed 3cm since the max EPR setting is 3.

Can you tell us what your machine's settings are? What's your min pressure? max pressure? and EPR?
