 I'm not sure what sleep lab your using but they are evidently improficient and unprofessional. They should have made the change for you if they really cared about your well being. Anywho, hope it works out for you.

 REMstar Plus CPAP.

1. With the machine plugged into a wall outlet, unplug the cord from the back of the CPAP. Then, press and hold down the two user buttons below the display screen while plugging the cord back into the CPAP, and continue to hold the buttons down until the CPAP beeps. This will indicate that the CPAP is in the Therapy Setup Menu.

2. The display will first show the number of hours the machine has been used. To erase this total and begin again at zero, press and hold the ramp or humidifier button. An “X” will appear on the display. Hold the button down until the time change to “0” and the “X” disappears.

To skip this setting or continue, press the right user button.

3. The elevation setting will appear next. To change this setting, press the ramp or humidifier button until the correct setting appears. Here are the elevation settings: 1 = less than 2,500 ft.; 2 = 2,500 to 5,000 ft.; 3 = 5,001 to 7,500 ft.

To skip this setting or continue, press the right user button.

4. The therapy mode will appear, either CPAP or CFLEX. To change this setting, press the ramp or humidifier button until the correct setting appears.

To skip this setting or continue, press the right user button.

5. The CPAP pressure will appear. To change this setting, press the ramp or humidifier button until the correct setting appears.

To skip this setting or continue, press the right user button.

6. The CPAP fine adjustment setting will appear. This setting allows you to calibrate your CPAP pressure to a manometer. We suggest you do not try to adjust this setting.

To skip this setting or continue, press the right user button.

7. The CFLEX setting will appear if you selected the CFLEX mode in number 4 above. A setting of 1 offers the least drop in pressure, 3 offers the most. To change this setting, press the ramp or humidifier button until the correct setting appears.

To skip this setting or continue, press the right user button.

8. The ramp time will appear next. It may be set for 0 to 45 minutes in 5 minute increments. To change this setting, press the ramp or humidifier button until the correct setting appears.

To skip this setting or continue, press the right user button.

9. The ramp starting pressure will appear. To change this setting, press the ramp or humidifier button until the correct setting appears.

To skip this setting or continue, press the right user button.

10. The patient disconnect setting will appear. This sounds an alarm when there is a mask leak and turns the airflow off. 1 = On; 2 = Off. To change this setting, press the ramp or humidifier button until the correct setting appears.


There are no other settings available. Press the pressure start/stop button to exit the menu or press the right user button to scroll through the settings again.

hope this helps

 Thank You for posting this! I've been using my RemStar Plus for 5 years and just did a sleep study last night. I've been at 9cmH2O for the past 5 years. The tech said he measured me at the max of 20cmH2O. There is no way I could sleep regularly at 20, but it feels like I could fill car tires at that pressure! I'm going to work my way up slowly to what is tolerable. Once I get the Dr's review, we'll develop a plan, but for the next week, I can get some relief.

 As to guest 25's comment. Having sleep apnea doesn't mean your unhealthy. Your a moron. I was in the best shape of my life was a power lifter, road a bike 10 miles a day. There are lots of reasons people have or get sleep apnea. Pull your head out of your fat "behind", and mind your own business if you can't say anything nice.

 weird that their max was 20, at our lab we go to 25, but as of 18 we switch you over to Bipap which is much more tolerable

 sleep apnea is a problem with your brain not telling your throat to remain open while you breath. it has very little to do with weight. the last study i heard about, only 10% of bariatric patients who lost 150lbs+ saw a decrease in their AHI (apnea hypopnea index). unfortunately many people (including doctors) still think this is a problem only among the obese. i see many patients who are 'average' weight with sleep apnea, including young kids and teenagers who are active and otherwise healthy
