Thank you

Tried to adjust pressure above 4 but it seems to be set. I don’t think I can adjust it. I think it’s set by therapist

You need to get into "Clinical Mode" to change the pressure.

Pugsy referred you to a link to get the manual which describes how.

[Joecv5]

The office said the setting is 4-20 so it does up to 20. And increasing the 4 won’t help?

[Pugsy]

The minimum pressure is the most critical setting. Not the maximum.
Increasing the minimum of 4 to maybe 6 or so...will help. Might need a little more but won't know until you try 6 or so.

[Joecv5]

Thank you for all your help. I’ll try to adjust it again

i don't know what "cai" means.

did you wake up feeling as though you had a good night's sleep?

[Joecv5]

I guess. I use to nap twice a day
And I’m not nearly as tired. I noticed that even with the ahi at 35. I guess I will wait a day or two and then if results are the same maybe increase to 7.

huh. thanks for the edumacation.

funny thing is, i started in an intellipap.

obviously, i've forgotten the experience altogether.

[Joecv5]

So that’s good! Looks like turning up the pressure from 4 to ) made the improvement. I appreciate your help.
Now to tell the doctor

[Pugsy]

Increasing the minimum pressure will help with OAs and hyponeas.
Won't help with central apneas though but you aren't having enough central apneas to worry about anyway.
And yes...probably going to need more than 6....just guessing but probably 8 ish.
