Remstar Auto w/ C-Flex-- When Do To Adjust Settings????

I'm not much into DMEs, have played around with the settings been on machine since January.

Just wanting to know for those of you who monkey around with your settings--at what point to you start adjusting settings? When AHI is a certain level or what? My AHI is around 3.1. Lots of snores....

Any AHI below 5 is good.

If I had lots of snores (I used to) I'd raise the lower limit by 0.5 and see how that works. It worked great for me!

I think that sounds reasonable. I'll try it, thanks!

You didn't say what your C-Flex setting was at. For snoring, you could also try lowering the C-Flex setting. If you're at 3, try 2, etc.

The pressure at which you exhale can effect the snoring, too.

My settings are 6-14 with c-flex set at 3. The DME in January said my rate should be 12.

I don't actually snore, but it shows up as snores on My Encore
