Resmed Airsense 10 ramping too fast - dwlims - 03-14-2016
I have been using the Airsense 10, CPAP machine for about 6 months.
Pressure is set at 7-15.
Yesterday, while napping, I noticed the pressure zoomed from 0 to 15 in a matter of minutes. I turned off the ramp feature, same result. When turning the ramp feature back on, the same thing happened. The 14+ pressure practically blew my ears off! I unplugged the machine before bed last night, and plugged it back in, hoping for some kind of sane reset. No such luck; same result, with the pressure zooming to 14+ in a matter of minutes.
Getting a hold of my DME (Apria) is challenging and I cannot wait "24-48 hours' for a call back.
Has anyone experienced this and if so, how did you resolve?
Thanks,

Make sure there is no excessive moisture in your mask and/or tubing. If so dry everything out. When all dry unplug the machine from the power brick and unplug the power brick from the outlet. Wait at least one minute. Then try again. If this still happens with ramp off you definitely should return it under warranty.

I no longer use my ramp , Try changing the ramp time. something doesn't sound right though, I don't think it should go to your maximum pressure right away.
Hopefully your DME can resolve this issue for you.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi dwlims,
That doesn't sound right, you will more than likely have to get a hold of your DME. Good luck to you.

There is a ramp feature on your machine, but it will start at a lower pressure and go to the low therapy setting over several minutes. Going directly to the max is not right.

As for Ramp. I use Ramp for 10 minutes starting at 10, same as minimum pressure to avoid the machine scoring events while adjusting mask fit, scratching my nose, setting down, etc ...
It doesn't sound right here too http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-Sleepyhead-showing-0-000-in-columns

I visited the DME, and they cheerfully replaced the unit (within warranty period). I was unable to reproduce the problem in their office but that was not an issue.
Thanks, everyone!
