Upgrade to new machine

I have been on pap for 20 years. I ended up with a recalled dreamstation auto bipap.
Sleep dr demanded a night of torture to prove my apnea and I failed to sleep.
I have never been able to work with the sleep industry
I purchased a air curve 10 v auto bipap out of pocket and is in mail.
Seems like it has more settings than I am accustomed too, EB, S, T1, trigger , etc
What should I start at, or equal to my old one.
EPAP 16
IPAP 20
PS 2

Also, is there any tele, zoom doctors or resp. tech that can review and recommend machine changes.

You've got yourself an excellent new machine. Start with these settings:

min EPAP 16
max IPAP 20
PS 2.

Leave the other settings in their defaults.

The "feel" of the new machine may be a little different; you might want to set it up outside your bedroom and use it during the day or evening while you watch TV, read, or use your devices. That might help your brain get used to the new feel.

I'm curious: why were you originally issued a bi-level machine? I ask because the usual reason for having one is to be able to have more pressure support that a regular machine can't deliver -- which would be more than PS of 2.

It'd be great if you could do as ChicagoGranny suggests and get a free account with SleepHQ. That way you can share links to data that might help the people here to suggest tweaks to your settings.

First, make sure you chose VPAP mode rather than one of the other modes for the machine.

Then as Miss Emerita says, start with setting Min EPAP = 16, Max IPAP = 20, and PS = 2. Leave all the other settings at their default settings.

Pay attention to how you feel when breathing with them machine. If your inhalations or exhalations seem "rushed" or if your breathing just seems "out of sync" with the machine, then you can make adjustments to the Trigger and Cycle settings and/or the Ti_Max and Ti_min settings. Being able to describe exactly what feels "off" is important since the way these four settings control the change between IPAP and EPAP is subtle. But for most people? The default settings will work reasonably well.
