Help! Can't Find Dinosaur's Manual - castilla - 12-15-2016
Hello, I am trying to find the manual for my dad's CPAP machine (older than me btw)! Looking into a replacement but this one still works well. Just need to adjust its pressure. Too old for servicer >
Name? Lincare RemSTAR Choice
Model: T367930D
Serial: 847859 (Dad confirmed it could be from '78)
Thanks so much-I am still searching as well!
-Castilla (Jeez it's double my age)

1978... Wow, Star Wars era.
Lincare was likely the provider. The machine name is likely Remstar Choice and was made by Respironics before they were bought by Phillips.
Our resident expert is Sleeprider.
You may not find a manual; but someone may know how to enter the menu to change pressure.

Thanks but there is no menu..Am I allowed to attach a photo here?

That is a legacy machine. I don't think we're going to know how to change the pressure, but you can attach an image to your post. It takes 4 posts to be able to link to an image hosted off site.
That machine needs to be replaced whether it works or not. It could take a while to get one approves, so start sooner than later. If you are self-financing, a brand new modern auto CPAP with humidifier and heated hose can be acquired for about $400 on Amazon (Dreamstation Auto CPAP DSX500T11). That may be less expensive than going the Medicare route which may subject your dad to sleep studies, doctors and medical equipment suppliers.

Thanks for the help and suggestion! I hope we can avoid the studies, more of a hassle and less wallet
