Prisma Smart doesn't increase pressure
Hi all,
I have a Lowenstein Prisma Smart device, configured to APAP standard mode, pressure limits 4.5 - 8.5.
When I test mask leaks, I see that the most comfortable pressure is 6-6.5.
When I go sleep and start functioning the device, it goes to the minimal pressure 4.5 and remains at that level. That pressure is quite low for me and I have to forcefully suck in air to breath. It is more comfortably for me to breath without mask than with mask.
Why does it happen? Doesn't it have to regulate the pressure level automatically according to my needs?
Does the pressure level have to change on the screen? It constantly remains on 4.5 level.
When I stop breathing by purpose, the device doesn't do anything. I believe it should react on such event, or it differs such case from a real sleeping apnea?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
