Welcome to apnea board, lexoman

I don't use the machine but if not mistaken, you can
See the clinical manual, available via email from the link at the top of the page "CPAP Setup Manuals"

RE: Programming Bi-Pap Machine as CPAP
Yes, it is possible and it is easy to do so. I'll tell you how but I have to wonder why you would want to do it?

1- Turn the dial to setup.
2- Hold down the arrow button, and then the dial until it beeps.
3- Then turn the dial to setup again.
4- Turn the dial to mode.
5- Click the dial and turn it to select cpap.

In the "mode" position my only two choices are "BiLevel" or "Auto." Any ideas?

I hope this may help. You should have a minimum and a maximum pressure setting. Set both to the same value. This will in essence force it into a CPAP mode.

I have a maximun "IPAP" and a minimum "EPAP" so that won't work.

Hmmm under mode there should be Bipap, Auto and Cpap. What model number is this? Look on the bottom, and let me know. Thanks.
