Deep Tech information on Phillips ASV

Is there anyone here that can tell me the details and uses of some obscured settings/controls of Phillips ASV machines??

The main one is the setting of BPM: Phillips says, “This screen allows you to modify the Breaths Per Minute setting. The Breaths Per Minute setting is a back-up breath rate where there is a machine-triggered breath to the patient within the defined timeframe per breath. You can choose between Off, Auto, or 4 through 30. This setting only displays if PS max is greater than zero.

So seems fairly clear…well not really:

When and why should it be OFF?? What conductions are these settings for??

When and why should it be on auto??

What is the best BPM settings: 1 to 30??

Next is this setting: “Ti This screen allows you to modify the Inspiratory Time setting. You may adjust the setting from 0.5 to 3.0 seconds in 0.1 increments. This setting only displays if PS max is greater than zero and BPM is not set to Off or Auto.”

I would like a deeper exasperation as to these settings.

And Mask Type: “This setting allows you to select the appropriate Mask Type resistance setting (also known as System One Resistance Control) for your Philips Respironics mask. This feature allows the device to adjust the level of pressure compensation to match your mask. Refer to the packaging of your mask to identify the resistance setting for your mask. Note: It is important to use the appropriate “Mask Type” resistance setting to ensure proper pressure delivery to the patient.”

And what if your NOT using: Philips Respironics mask??

I would like a deeper exasperation as to these settings as well.

I have come to believe that perhaps my problems with my Sleep machine over the past seven years may have been the incorrect use of these settings.

Thanks.

I give up.

Why?

You are welcome to browse through his past posts, but the incriminating statements may have been deleted.
I was offended AND incensed . . .

Oh yeah, he's a little grouchy...

And I was really looking forward to going down memory lane with stories of ASV (like we were one of the first 12 Centers to trial ASV?)(or I guess "we" is "they" now...).

Say, whatever happened to that guy Krakow who said he could fix anything with ASV?

Rumor patrol said he was retiring. What is it with folks wanting to retire anyway?

We need the extra time to put all that money back into the economy!
