CPAP auto readjusts plz help. - Jerzey - 03-04-2021
Hello,
I am new to using a CPAP machine. It works well for me and I can get the sleep I need. However, I can sleep fine at the pressure I set it at as long as it don't auto readjust to a lower pressure 3-4 hours into the night. Is my machine broke ? Is there a setting in the machine that does this ? If so please tell me how to stop it form auto readjusting to a lower pressure as i instantly wake up when it does this. Philips Respironics Remstar auto a-flex. Thank You.

Jerzey, we need to know the settings on your machine, and the best way if for you to use OSCAR software and post a chart. Instructions for organizing charts and attaching images and files are in my signature links. To prevent pressure changes, you need to either set minimum and maximum pressure settings in an effective range, or switch to CPAP mode and use a single pressure you know works. I would prefer to see a chart, but you minimally need to go into your settings and record the mode, minimum and maximum pressure settings https://www.apneaboard.com/pr-system-one-philips-respironics-setup-cpap-clinician-menu-instructions

Thanks for your response. I will try the CPAP mode first as I know the pressure I need. If that don't work I'll DL the software and upload my setting. Thank You.
