I got my second hand RemStar Pro 2 today!

dieselgal · Post by **dieselgal** » Tue May 22, 2007 5:38 pm

When I got home today I had the package on my porch and I got all excited. I purchased from someone online and I have to say I was worried about whether I would actually receive it as described. Anyway I am pretty happy with it. Seems to be in very good condition, and has the user's manual and extra filters. It does have the heated humidifier as well.
Of course I haven't used it yet with a mask but I did check to see if it actually came on and off. I intend to wait until this weekend and clean everything myself (because I purchased from someone I don't know) and I will probably set it up and try it this weekend.
NOW...for my questions.
Of course the users manual doesn't tell me how to change the pressure and I need to change it to my pressure. Can someone give me the details on how this is done in english? Also what is the best way to clean the humidifier. Should I use bleach, vinegar or what?
I paid 250.00 for the whole setup and he even included a couple of masks.
A swift and comfortlite 2 so i think I got a pretty good deal.
Thanks in advance for any help

Push the RAMP and Pressure ON/OFF button at the same

Probably Pro 2 setup buttons are the same

Or....you can use these instructions. Copy them to a file on your computer.

When in the Setup Menu, the humidifier ^ and ramp v buttons operate as up and down keys to change the settings, the left/right user buttons < > allow you to go to the previous/next question or setting, and the pressure start/stop button is used to exit the Setup Menu. Holding the humidifier or ramp buttons down will cause the values to change more quickly.

To enter the Therapy Setup Menu, hold the two top user buttons < > down while plugging in the power cord.
Continue holding the buttons down until the REMstar Pro 2 with C-Flex beeps twice.

hi Guest:

Check your local Craigslist, I just found out lightly used Remstars for $100 and BIPAP for 500

Tillymarigold is the expert on cleaning
If I remember correctly, use 3 part water and 1 part white vinegar and keep this for 15 minutes or so

I use tap tap water and wash weekly using the above solution

I found mine on Yahoo auctions and since it had the humidifier with it I decided to go for it. I felt a little leary about sending that kind of money to a stranger but I took my chances and it worked out. I also paid using paypal and American Express and hoped that if I got shafted I could raise some stink. Fortunately that didn't happen. I can't wait to get it all hooked up and use it this weekend and see which machine I like the best.

PS. Remember yahoo auctions will be going away in mid June so if you are looking there you better be quick.
