OPTISTART - OpalRose - 01-26-2015
How do I use Optiistart? Went into Clinical Menu and turned it on, but this does not show up in regular menu. So do I assume it is working? Do I need to change my bottom pressure number down to give it room to work. I am currently set at 8.5 to 15 range.
The 90% number runs between 9 and 10.
AHI runs from .4 to 3.0.
I think it is a neat feature available on the PR System One, and would like to see
what machine does compared with my current settings.
Thanks again!

optistart works within the bounds you supply. Since I had optistart turned on, it changed my start from 6.0 to 6.5 after about 8 days of use (my setting is 6.0 to 13.5). I saw that it did start for about 5 days at 6.5, and it shifted back to 6.0. It has done that twice in about a month now. It is back at 6.0. My 90% pressure is anywhere from 6.8 to 8.4 cmH2o, so it does not home in on the 90% value.
I don't know if sleepyhead detects or displays the optistart current value. But I was able to see when it changed, and confirmed in EncoreBasic which does report OptiStart.
good luck,
