Luna g3 Bpap issue maintaining IPAP pressure

user of Luna g3 bpap.

anyone else have issues with it maintaining IPAP pressure. I have an E of 9 and an I of 13. It seems to only hit 13 for a very very brief time before dropping back down again.

This seems to be a new development based off of the the number of events I had last night being much higher than usual...

i don't know of any regulars to the forum that use your machine, so it might be tough getting answers.

sorry!

Yeah I've had that problem. Probably has to do with with I sens and E sens settings. And/or the rise time setting. Unfortunately the manual is not really helpful at all.

I never got used to the machine unfortunately, even with the inhale sensitivity at the highest setting sometimes I would go to inhale and nothing would happen.

I've been using a Phillips Dreamstation for almost 3 years. I received B3 Luna II to replace my Dreamstation due to the recall. I tried using the Luna II for a full week and never got a good night's sleep. I adjusted the Min & Max pressure, finally trying a narrow range of 6cpm to 8.5 cpm to reduce the pressure to a comfortable range. I kept waking up with a very dry mouth 3-4 hours in, even when I used a mouth strip to make sure my mouth wasn't wide open during the nght. No help.

The clinical settings have a very limited adjustment range and this was supposed to be a CPAP, but it acted more like a BPAP and definitely was not capable of auto adjusting anything.

I finally gave up and returned the darned thing and went back to using the Dreamstation, which gives me a full night's rest very reliably. My replacement Dreamstation finally arrived and I'll pick it up next week. I DO NOT recommend a Luna II to anyone.
