Airsense 10 for her Pressure Relief Setting

Post by triciar » Tue Dec 19, 2017 12:34 pm

Newbie here....I was originally set up with a machine through insurance but returned it once I found out my insurance wouldn't cover it until my deductible was met ($2000). Prior to returning, I took a photo of the settings knowing I may have to set it up myself once I purchased one on my own. Today I purchase a gently used machine and I was duplicating my original settings however I noticed the original machine set up has Pressure Relief set to On under tube temp. The gently used machine I purchased doesn't have that option. I've tried accessing the clinical settings but I'm unable to find that option. Any suggestions? Being new to this, I don't really know if I need to be concerned about that option not being there.

Thank you,
Tricia

Exhale relief is called EPR and it's on the AirSense 10 for Her machine for sure. I have that machine and I use EPR.

You need to go into the clinical menu setup area.

I thought that there was a setting to turn it so patient can have access to it without having to go into the clinical menu area but I just looked at my AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her and there wasn't.
I had to go into the clinical setup menu area to turn it on and set the desired choice.
I have no idea how or why it showed up under the hose temp on your other machine.

If I understand what has been written thus far, I think that "Essentials Plus" must have been selected through the clinical menu in order for users to be able to control the EPR function from the "My Options" screen.

I have Essentials set to Plus....and in My Options screen the only thing I see is Pressure Relief (it is under humidity I think) but it's an On/OFF thing and no mention as to EPR setting 1, 2 or 3.
So to actually set EPR I have to go into the clinical menu.

I just now looked...so there is a Pressure Relief setting for turning it on/off but not for adjusting the setting.
Never noticed it was there until now though...I always just go into the setup menu area for any changing of anything anyway.

Thank you so much for the help, changing it to the Essentials Plus worked! I'm wasn't sure if the setting would affect me. I was more worried they sold me an really old or somehow different model. Now I just have to hope it helps!
