Aura/Breeze with Autopap question

Snoozie, when you get logged back on as registered again, check your PM's. I bet a lot of people will send you the instructions for accessing the therapy setup menu on your machine.

Snoozie, I recall you used the word "tampering" in a previous thread too and here was the response:

Guest wrote:It isn't tampering. Its no more complicated than changing the temperature on your thermostat in your house. You've probably noticed by reading thru all the info on this forum people control their own therapy, read their own data and adjust their own pressure. If you prefer to go to the doc that's your choice. But please don't think its something you can't or shouldn't do on your own if you want to. It saves the time and expense of a doctor's appointment. Many have reported their doc only checked the card for compliance info anyway. Many have found they know more than their doc about the effectiveness of their treatment and get better treatment because they are doing their own monitoring and making adjustments accordingly.

Snoozie, the directions are the same ones that were given to you when you asked this same question in December:

One question, how are you changing your own settings?

I am also finding out by using the 3 interfaces that I have, that I seem to get the best results with the Swift and Aura. I still find it more difficult to breathe with the Aura, though. Haven't been able to figure that out yet, but finding it to be a comfortable piece of equipment.

At the machine, I hold the two top buttons down while I plug in the machine. This brings up several adjustments on the LCD screen, including pressure. I have a Remstar Pro II with C-flex.

After you've changed your pressure, let us know how it goes with your new results. Good luck.

rested gal, Managed to stay logged on long enough to send you a PM back. Don't know what is wrong with this thing! Thank You! I was all set to print and try resetting and then I realized that instructions are for Auto. Not sure if they will work with my straight CPAP(?)

I have Remstar Pro straight CPAP.

Thank You!

Thank you guest for bringing all of this to my attention. I guess I sould have taken the time to read my previous posts. I didn't remember-- and sorry for repeating myself. You really could give your name. I would not be offended.

Snoozie, in a previous thread you indiciated you had the Remstar Pro II with C-Flex (same as Jerry's). I'm not sure if the directions would be different, but it would be important to know which machine you've got just to be sure.

Sorry, I DO have a Remstar Pro 2. I keep forgetting the 2, and I know that makes a big difference.

Then Jerry's directions will work.
