Aeiomed Everest 2 CPAP FEEDBACK? Adjusting?

Post by OKEJEE » Fri Feb 20, 2009 1:59 pm

i'm interested in the following CPAP machine so I can use it for travel.
Aeiomed Everest 2 CPAP

Does anyone have any experience with it?
Also do you know if I can adjust the pressure on it myself in the future?
I've noticed that with my regular machine, over time it seems like I may
need a higher pressure. My first sleep study showed I needed a pressure
of 13, but after losing some weight a few years later, I had another study
done & now need a pressure of 9. But I'm wondering if I need more pressure
now due to some weight gain...and at times I do wake up feeling like I need
more air. I hate to go for another sleep study. They are so expensive!
Thanks for any info

change settings - find it here - I have the manual too - assume it matches that - but I had this bookmarked before I got mine.

I have the Everest for travel and backup when the power goes(or might go) out. I love this little machine. It has no bells or whistles(c-flex, a-flex, data) but it does a great job for me. I don't find the Everest any louder or quieter, but it is higher pitched and that may be a problem for some. It is a very easy machine to use and I get 2 nights (approx 6 hrs each @ pressure 10) on one charge of the battery. If I'm using the machine because the power may go out, I leave the machine plugged in it will switch itself to battery power when needed. When the power comes back on the machine automatically switches to house power and trickle charges the battery. It packs easily and comes with a case that holds all needed items(hose, mask, tape, extension cord, etc.). DO be sure to remove the HH and empty it. I pack it seperate from the machine in a ziplock bag to be sure no water goes anywhere else.
