unable to find pressure settings on my cpap - timoteo666 - 02-16-2024
I use an old Phillips System One cpap machine and cannot find the pressure settings on my machine. I went into admin mode and looked on the Settings menu and don't find them. According to the two manuals I downloaded from this site which correspond to two variants of this machine, the pressure settings should be the second item on the Settings menu in admin mode.
I run the machine in "auto" pressure mode, where it adjusts the pressure from something like 6 to 20 (I don't remember what unit the pressure setting use but apparently all the cpap machines use this same pressure unit of measure).
Can someone help me find these settings?
I don't want to change them, but I want to know what range they are set to.

I'm not sure which System One you have, but theses instructions should get you where you want to be.

that link describes the way to get to the clinic menu.
are you aware of the philips recalls of those machines? i had one for years until may of last year when i was made aware of it. if you are aware, and still would like to use it, then that link can get you to the settings menu.

Thank you for the reply. I used your site to locate and download the manual for my cpap machine and although it shows the pressure settings under the clinician setup page (not the normal user setup page), i don't see the pressure settings there. I don't understand why my machine's clinician setup doesn't exactly match the setup instructions.

Most PAP devices have a user menu and a clinical setup menu. Users are blocked from accessing settings related to pressure and therapy under the presumption those should be set by a medical professional. We at Apnea Board don't agree with that and bring you both menus, as well as user's manuals and clinical manuals.

go to youtube and search for your cpap model. You can see if the model is the same as yours and they show how to set it.

I have been able to access the clinical setup menu. I just don't find the pressure settings configuration info where the manual shows it.

Is it possible you ordered the incorrect manual for your particular machine?
Show us a pic of your system one. Is it a 50 or 60 series?
