Pressure settings for S7 Elite

Post by vaslb31165 » Wed Nov 14, 2007 5:20 am

Hi, new to the forum. I was wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the pressure on the Resmed S7 Elite? I am set at 19 but have gained some weight since my settings were adjusted and have had an outstanding improvement in my sleep until I gained weight. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum, Vas. Why don't you register as a member and enable Private Messaging? It is free to do so. I'm not sure that increasing your pressure would be much assistance if the S7 Elite is similar to the S8 Elite in that its upper pressure Setting is 20 cms of pressure when you are already at 19 cms.

The S7 is indeed identical to the S8 in that respect.

vaslb31165 may need to consider going to a Bi-level PAP flow generator.

Cheers,

Are you sure you're not leaking air out your mouth? What type/model of mask are you using?
If you're using a nasal mask, do you wake up with a dry mouth?
