Is it possible to program a Respironics PR System 1 Bipap Auto Bi-Flex machine as a CPAP?

Welcome to apnea board, lexoman

I don't use the machine but if not mistaken, you can
See the clinical manual, available via email from the link at the top of the page "CPAP Setup Manuals"

Yes, it is possible and it is easy to do so. I'll tell you how but I have to wonder why you would want to do it?

1- Turn the dial to setup.
2- Hold down the arrow button, and then the dial until it beeps.
3- Then turn the dial to setup again.
4- Turn the dial to mode.
5- Click the dial and turn it to select cpap.

In the "mode" position my only two choices are "BiLevel" or "Auto." Any ideas?

I hope this may help. You should have a minimum and a maximum pressure setting. Set both to the same value. This will in essence force it into a CPAP mode.

I have a maximun "IPAP" and a minimum "EPAP" so that won't work.

Hmmm under mode there should be Bipap, Auto and Cpap. What model number is this? Look on the bottom, and let me know. Thanks.
