Respironic BiPAP M series pressure settings

[jamesmck]

I am trying to change max ipap and min epap settings and find neither available in the provider setup. This is a BiPAP auto M series #700M. Other settings below. 

Therapy mode Auto Bi-level
IPAP 15.0
EPAP 15.0
BiFlex setting #1
Ramp time 20 min
Show AHI/leak ON
Ramp startup pressure 6.0
Mask alert OFF
Auto off ON
Patient reminder OFF

Max IPAP and Min EPAP do not show at all.  Would appreciate suggestions.

The Auto M Series BiPAP is an ancient device that has been out of manufacture since 2009, replaced by the Series One, and later the Dreamstations 1 and 2.  This machine used to write data to a SmartCard that no one has seen in 15 years.  That said, the settings of IPAP 15, EPAP 15 is a CPAP setting.  You find a link to the BiPAP Auto M-Series  in the CPAP Setup Manuals linked above. and the link I just gave you.

Thanks for the reply. I am well aware of the age of this machine, and am using it as a temporary backup. According to the chart on p. 2 of the link you provided, I should see reference to the max and min settings I am missing since Auto Bi-Level is enabled. But, they are not there. By the way, I have all the relevant manufacturer’s manuals.

My original machine was an Auto-M CPAP, so I know the menus are not easy to navigate. I really don't know what to do if a menu option is missing and you are in the clinical settings. The mode must be set to Auto-Bilevel to enable the BiPAP setting for EPAP min, Max IPAP pressure and PS min (IPAP), and PS max (Max Press Sup). I can't think of a reason the settings are not available.
