Modifying Philips AutoSV Bipap Machine Lowest setting

Adding to Fred's info about Notepad ++

It's a free item available for download. Most recent version was released 1/27/19, called 7.6.3

As for modifying any CPAP to generate less pressure than 4 (or a few that start at 3), unless I'm seriously mistaken, and unless given a medical reason, therapy pressure under that threshold would likely be severely limited in usefulness.

Search for Notepad++, it is an excellent and flexible text editor.

yes, I had it on my computer last year. what do you think of my suggestion of poking holes in mask? (posted on myapnea forum). will that reduce pressure below 4?

[Gideon]

Poking holes in the mask will only get the blower to blow harder to maintain the pressure.

As an experiment, and not on a patient of any kind, add a throttle valve on the tube and us a manometer (old school) to measure pressure. CPAP masks NEED their intentional leak to wash out CO2.

thanks for suggestion. I might need to buy some stuff.

you are right. low Pressure I asking for is for research purposes and is for medical reason.

Sach_nyc,

Sincerely the best wishes for the research success. Sometimes apnea therapy is best treated with methods contrary to current standard action. Keep us updated on this.
