[Symptoms] dreamstation [it changes pressure]

dreamstation [it changes pressure]
question

Why does my philips dreamstation dont start every time the same way??
I am happy when it starts three times the same in one week
The starting pressure is 5.5
Once in about 10 days it starts at 6.5 while the setting is 5.5
Then i have to change in the menu to pressure 5, start again , stop , change to 5.5 start again then it is OK
And somtimes in a week it starts in a rithem if i  am running a marathon so fast
I whant it to start slowly at my rithem because i want to go to sleep and the machine have to adapt my tempo of breathing.
I am lucky when the dreamstation does that three times in a row.

Please anyone respond

RE: dreamstation
Have you tried using the exhale relief, which I believe PR calls Flex? That sounds more like what you are looking for.

As for it changing pressure, do you mean it changes it's the setting or it just starts there?

Perhaps the Smart Start is enabled? I believe that's what the setting is called - the one that begins with the pressure you left off needing last time (or something along that line).

Or are you pressing the Ramp (triangle) button accidentally sometimes?

Thqnks for your response,

What do you meane whit PR?

About the pressure it just starts there , the setting is not chance , it just start at 6.6 reading on display
and also the pressure is than verry high.
A simple restart or power cord reset dont solve the problem can only be changed in setup menu.

(Sorry for my bad english)

I do not now if smart start is enabeled.
I can not check it because i am
 on a vaccation an dit not have taken the dream station with me because i am a little tiered of the machine.
Also i dont press the ramp because when i do (time is set to 30 minutes) most of the time i am not asleep after the time is past
and at the end of the 30 minutes the pressure is set to 8.5 and with that pressure it is for me impossible to go to sleep.

It sounds like you have Opti-Start enabled. It starts APAP at a pressure closer to the previous 90% pressure.
You can find it under clinical menu - Therapy Settings
