In order to adjust your settings, you must do the following:

  1. Disconnect the machine cord from the power block.
  2. Press and hold down on the selector (this is the button used to turn therapy on).
  3. Simultaneously while holding down, reconnect the cord to the power block.

Yes. Excessively high pressures will cause the mask to leak and affect the CPAP's performance.


What is nasal CPAP?

CPAP is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This is a system where equipment blows air into a mask that covers the nose or nose and mouth of the patient. CPAP is used to treat sleep apnea, where the sufferer stops breathing several times a night, or for severe snoring. The air pressure keeps the airways open, enabling the patient to breathe properly. Nasal CPAP is where the CPAP mask fits only over the nose. Some people find this more comfortable than a larger mask.


What is Aflex technology for CPAP users?

Aflex is a form of Auto CPAP. Auto CPAP reduces the pressure in the mask when you exhale. A-flex (I think this may be a term used by Philips Respironics) allows the difference between inhale and exhale pressures to be varied.

However, before changing pressures it is recommended to discuss the reasoning with your Physician or respiratory therapist. There may be a better solution.


What is a CPAP Hose Management System?

A CPAP Hose Management System is something very simple but very unique and effective for those who use CPAP. First of all CPAP is an acronym for Continious Positive Airway Pressure. It is probably the most commonly prescribed treatment for those who have obstructive sleep apnea. It works by blowing air from a device (CPAP) into flexible tubing attached to a mask or some sort of interface which blows this pressurized air into your nostrils, mouth or both. This action helps prevent the patients airway from closing while sleeping. One of the biggest problems with CPAP use, is the hose itself. CPAP user's who sleep with CPAP are very familiar with dealing with a CPAP hose. The hose is attached to a CPAP device typically on a nightstand adjacent to your bed, it typically extends over your chest feeding the mask that is attached to your face on the other end. If you want to change positions in bed, or roll over to one side or the other, you must also readjust your CPAP hose in the process. The CPAP Hose Management System or HoseBeGone's Patent Pending system allows any CPAP user to manage their hose above and behind their head while sleeping. It is lightweight, can disassemble for easy travel and fit in most any modern CPAP carry bags.
