remote hand switch for CPAP ?

Are there any CPAPs with a remote hand switch for resetting the pressure to the default minimum pressure (or turning off machine). I don't like having to turn over (if I am facing away from machine on night table) and fumble for the buttons on the CPAP machine. I'd rather have a cordless remote in my hand.

My CPAP pressures adjust automatically (I think it is called AutoCPAP...oh I forget what that feature is called). Often I wake up in the night due to noise from airflow resulting from the pressure adjusting up. Usually the pressure adjusts up due to a leak or if my snoring is not being blocked at the lower pressure).

Never heard of a remote anything to go with Cpap equipment, but if you feel your pressure is set too high, then ask your DME or MD to see if you can be tried on a slightly lower number, or better yet, learn to reset the pressure(s) yourself and try it out.

We have been discussing that in another thread. You might find some answers there.
