Remstar Mseries 100M, Bipap or Cpap

[rockycpap]

Hi,
I feel a little foolish. I have been using a Bipap Plus with Biflex for years and I love it. I happened to see a a 100M Remstar that says Bipap right on the label on the bottom so I picked it up seeing as it only had 169 hours of use. I figured I could get it to work because it said BIPAP, to the best of my knowledge now this is a cpap and of no use to me. Am I missing something here?
If anyone can clarify for certain if I can or cannot use this as a Bipap please let me know.
Otherwise let me know if you need a cpap 100M.

Thanks

the 100 m series is the bottom of the line cpap - no data except compliance - no exhale relief

What you likely saw was the "Trademark BiPap" for Respironics. It is very confusing. Where did you "pick it up" at?

According to Mr PR (who works for Phillips Respironics) they used to put BiPap on all machines as part of a generic warning label. So that is what you probably saw. To know exactly which model must look at the model numbers and name on the machine.

"All the units use the same warning label (except the international units I believe). So the cflex, bipap etc will all say BiPaP on them even if they aren't a BiPaP. Even though it may be confusing, it is a way to avoid putting the wrong warning labels on them and having different labels for each type of unit. "
