[CPAP] Comfort Setting for NO FLEX??

Comfort Setting for NO FLEX??
Hi, All -- I have successfully been using CPAP for 15 years. Just got a new Dreamstation and am having great trouble with the so-called comfort settings. I cannot stand hearing myself breathing. I am on a setting of 8. On the comfort menu, there is a "button" for C-Flex off and beside it a button for C-Flex numbers. Mine are set to off and 1. I want it completely off. If it says off and 1, is it really off? (My old RemMaster Pro M series does not have this breathing sound that keeps me awake.) Help! PLEASE!

Agree, if it says off, then it should be off.
Order your Clinicians manual here. https://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-p...tup-manual The hearing your own breathing issue annoys me too. I’ve always used some sort of white noise in my bedroom, like a fan or humidifier.

Your profile says you are not using a humidifier. I had a noise problem with my older PR 560 when I tried not using the humidifier when dry camping in our trailer using a battery pack. I found out using passover humidification (water in the tank but no heat there and heated hose turned off) made a difference. Others with PR machines have reported the same thing.
RE: Comfort Setting for NO FLEX??
Thank you for the idea. I just sent for the manual.
Never thought of that. Thanks.

Just got my manual!!! Thank you so much! I made an appointment with my sleep doctor who is too willing to see me for two seconds to change the settings on my CPAP when I can do it myself in 2 seconds!

If you’re doing this yourself, how can the doc charge your insurance for his boat or RV payment?

A humidifier will help dull the sound.
mask fit http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...ask_Primer
For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure. https://aasm.org/resources/practiceparam...rating.pdf

Yes, if it says off then it's off (even though the other one says 1).
I sleep better (and feel better during the day) with the flex/EPR off. |
