Aircurve 10 Settings
#1
Aircurve 10 Settings
I'm trying to change my EPAP and IPAP settings. When I make changes (no more than 1cm) and start my CPAP before sleeping, the ramp up displays the previous EPAP/IPAP settings. However, the current settings are shown on my OSCAR software when I download.
Sorry if I'm rambling.
Suggestions?
Thanks

RE: Aircurve 10 Settings
You probably are changing the max IPAP which doesn't change the PS level. Change the EPAP for the base pressure on exhale and the PS (pressure support) for how much pressure above the EPAP you want on inhale. The IPAP just limits this pressure. So if my EPAP is 8, PS is 4, and my max IPAP is 10... it's going to provide 2cm of pressure support on inhale, whereas it'd be 4cm if my EPAP was on 6.

DreamR - It sounds like you have the ramp option turned on. The ramp settings are independent of the normal pressures and is available in all modes. The ramp feature is located under the Comfort options in the clinician menu.

It could be that your settings are enforced from the SD card. Either format the existing card in your pc or grab another one

Thanks all for your replies. I followed Crimson Nape's suggestion and adjusted the ramp setting and now my EPAP and IPAP values are where I want them.
Thanks again, everyone!
