Raising pressure on a RemStar Plus???

Purchased a RemStar Plus on line and it arrived today. I need to up the pressure from 7 H2O to 10 H2O.
Anyone have a clinical menue and a method of changing the settings? I would appreciate the help.
Thank you, Neal

Which model is it? The M Series, the Legacy model WITHOUT C-Flex or the Legacy model WITH C-Flex?

It's the remstar plus. it doesn't say M series or C-Flex on it so i'm guessing it's the base model? Sound right?

Thanks jules for the links, I already have the pressure changed. Great help! Neal

If it has the two gray "user" buttons < > below the LCD display, it's probably the model with C-Flex (five buttons on top of the machine), and you would have come across the C-Flex setting in the Setup screens.
The model without those two gray buttons and has a total of three buttons on top is the model without C-Flex.

yvw -

that thread included links to all of it I think - m series, and the two possible tanks that Den had linked

3 buttons only, base without C-flex. What is C-flex anyhow?

If it's the one with three buttons (no C-Flex), I'm surprised you got into the Setup menu with the other instructions.

These are the instructions for the one w/o C-Flex.

C-Flex is Respironics' version of Exhale Relief (EPR in the ResMed machines)

REMstar Plus wo/C-Flex Setup

IMPORTANT!
When the device is in the Therapy Setup Menu, the humidifier and ramp buttons operate as up and down keys to change the settings and the pressure on/off button will take you to the next screen.

Therapy Setup Menu
1. Plug the pronged end of the power cord into an electrical outlet. To enter the Therapy Setup Menu hold the ramp and pressure on/off buttons down while plugging the power cord into the device. The airflow will automatically turn ON and the display screen will show the current elevation setting and the unlock symbol.

IMPORTANT!
Prescribed therapy settings can be set only using the Therapy Setup Menu.
To prevent patients from tampering with the settings, the directions to access the Therapy Setup Menu should not be revealed to the patient.

Elevation Setting
a. The elevation setting and symbol will be displayed.
The patient also has access to this setting in the Patient Setup Menu.
Lo = less than 2,500 ft. (<762 m.)
M = 2,500 to 5,000 ft. (762 m. to 1524 m.)
Hi = 5,000 to 7,500 ft. (1525 m. to 2286 m.)

Note: Altitudes of 7,500 ft. (2,286 m.) may affect the accuracy of the pressure. Verify the pressure settings with a water column manometer.

To change the elevation setting, press and release the ramp or humidifier button until the correct setting is displayed.
Press and release the pressure on/off button to go to the next setting.

Pressure Setting
b. The CPAP pressure setting will appear.
To change the setting, press and release the ramp or humidifier button.
Range: 4 to 20 cm H2O (in 1 cm. H2O increments)
Press and release the pressure on/off button to go to the next setting.

Fine Adjustment Setting
c. The CPAP fine adjustment setting will appear. This setting allows you to calibrate the device so that the pressure setting can be verified with a manometer.

If you DO NOT want to calibrate the device, press and release the pressure on/off button to go to the next setting.

If you DO want to calibrate the device, follow the directions below:
1. Connect the patient circuit to the REMstar Plus. Make sure there is an exhalation leak in the circuit.

2. Zero the manometer and connect the manometer at the patient mask. Make sure the pressure has stabilized (let the manometer sit for at least 60 seconds).

3. If the pressure setting is not the same as the manometer reading, press and release the ramp or humidifier button to change the setting.
Range: -0.9 to 0.9 H2O (in 0.1 cm H2O increments)
Press and release the pressure on/off buton to go to the next setting.

Ramp Time Setting
d. The Ramp Time symbol and setting will appear. The patient also has access to this setting in the Patient Setup Menu.
To change the setting, press and release the ramp or humidifier button.
Range: 0 to 45 minutes (in 5 minute increments)
Press and release the pressure on/off button to go to the next setting.
Note: If the ramp time is set to "0" minutes, or if the CPAP pressure setting is 4 cm. H2O, the following ramp setting will not be displayed. Go to Step f.

Ramp Starting Pressure Setting
e. The Ramp Starting Pressure symbol and setting will appear. To change the setting, press and release the ramp or humidifier button.
Range: 4 to Prescription Setting (in 1 cm. H2O increments)
Press and release the pressure on/off button to go to the next setting.

>4 Setting
f. The number of times this device has been used for more than four consecutive hours (>4) will appear. To erase the total and go back to zero, press and release the ramp or humidifier button.
An "X" will appear in the upper left corner and the total will change to "0000". (Pressing the button again will restore the original count)
Press and release the pressure on/off button to go to the next setting.

LED Setting
g. The LED on/off symbol and setting will appear. This setting allows you to have the lights behind the button turned on or off.
The patient also has access to this setting in the Patient Setup Menu.
1 = ON
0 = OFF
To change the setting, press and release the ramp or humidifier button.

Exit Settings
h. To go back to the beginning of the settings, press and release the pressure on/off button.

To exit the Therapy Setup Menu, hold the pressure on/off button down and press the ramp button one time. Release the on/off button. The airflow will turn off.

Does anyone see anything more than the quote in the previous post by Guest? I'm seeing these again, where the post contains only a quote. Occasionally there is stuff written INSIDE THE QUOTE that's really hard to see, but I see lots that don't seem to have that.


This problem (part of the post below the quote is not displayed) happened once before but they fixed it. I'm just wondering if it's happening again.
