Need Help W/ Resmed S8 Elite

Post by NorthStar34 » Sat Jul 30, 2011 9:42 am

Hello everyone I have a Resmed S8 Elite with full facemask. My issue is I fall asleep but still wake up gasping for air just like when I don't have the mask on. How can I increase the pressure settings? I googled and tried the button thing but did not work on my machine.

Which button press did you try? There are two methods. One brings up the Efficacy Data menu, the other brings up the Clincians Menu. Which menu appears w/the button press you are using?

Nope, it is the Right button and Down button to bring up the Clinicians Menu. Once you are in the Clinicians Menu take the time to write down w/pen and paper EVERY screen entry BEFORE proceeding to the next so that when all is said and done IF you need to know or go back to your original settings you will KNOW what they are!!!!!

Once you are in the Clinicians Menu it is Left key to Enter (or to Okay a change), Right key to Exit, Up key to Return to the previous screen, Down key to Proceed to the next screen. REMEMBER! Write down what appears on EACH screen your first time thru W/O making ANY changes. The go thru a second time and make the change(s) you intend.
