Lower pressure on REMPlus w/C-Flex

Post by gomerbubba » Fri Dec 26, 2008 12:46 pm

I am having a hard time locating the instructions to lower my pressure settings. It keeps blowing out the corners of my mask.
And when not doing that it is just overall an uncomfortable feeling.
My wife and I both have a hard time sleeping. Can anyone offer any assistance?
Thanks a bunch.
Desperate to get sleep.

Even when the mask is not leaking, the pressure is too much.
Could someone offer some programming tips for this machine?
Thanks.

WHICH "REMstar Plus w/C-Flex" is it??? There have been (at least) a couple of versions.

Is it the M Series.....or the Legacy series WITH C=Flex?

I assume you have a sleep study and the doc determined the best pressure. I also assume your machine was set to that pressure.

Your machine doesn't provide any meaningful data. Changing the pressure without having any data indicating feedback isn't the best thing.

check out for the remstar m series

It is the legacy as far as I can tell.
REMstar plus with C-flex.
Not the M-series, which is smaller, correct?
