Changing pressure on an Autopap

Post by Barb (Seattle) » Sat Aug 06, 2005 11:07 pm

Is there a way to do this with the AutoSet Spirit? I've figured out how to read the information (not that I "get" it all)and was wondering if I could change the pressure myself...

Barb,

Hold the 'down' button (the lower part of the rocker button in the middle of the panel) and at same time hold right button (the one with the red line on it).

Do this for 3 secs min - you shd then see Clinicians Menu. Common sense should guide u through the rest of the menu system (but when you enter Clinicians Menu - make sure you locate 'SETTINGS' menu before changing anything).

Exit using the right button (with the red line on it) until you get right back to S7 SPIRIT Menu.

Cheers

Barb (Seattle),

Here is an exceprt from cpap.com advising they will help you:
All the machines we sell come with instructions on how to set pressure to physician orders. Most patients have little trouble doing this themselves. If they need help we can talk them thru the procedure.
This can be found on their CPAP FAQ page.
