RE: Hypopnea 15 plus a night
Due to the slower adjusting within the Philips Respironics machines, I would try an increase to your min pressure to 7.5 or so to help it get closer to the beginning of therapy pressures, based on your needs.
And welcome to Apnea Board.

RE: Hypopnea 15 plus a night
I would increase min pressure too as Dave suggested, but I'd raise it up a little more to 8.5cm-do you have Flex enabled by chance, I can't see it on the chart.

Yes flex is on 3 Ramp is on 10 for 30 minutes put it on 20 min before sleep. Can I ever not have to use machine ?

RE: Hypopnea 15 plus a night
Another quick question got it to turn on when I breath can I turn it off by just taking mask off ? When I go to toilet ? Etc at night

RE: Hypopnea 15 plus a night
It probably does have that, I didn't know what Respironics called it, but maybe something like smart start and stop. Unfortunately they're not terribly reliable in doing so, genetically speaking.

RE: Hypopnea 15 plus a night
Follow Phaleronic's suggestions above.
Minimum set at 8.5 Try Flex at 2 or 3. Also, try to wean off using the Ramp feature.

RE: dreamstation settings
Please keep your history to one thread. I'm going to merge the above post with your other thread, as you have been give alot of advice there. It is easiest for those that wish to give advice to see your history and data in one place.
Thanks! Also, renamed your thread.
