Z1 auto travel cpap mode change - Aschaefer5 - 10-07-2017 I just purchased the z1 auto and it is set on apap. I would like to change it to straight cpap but the manual doesn't provide this info. Can anyone help me? Thanks RE: Z1 auto travel cpap mode change - OpalRose - 10-07-2017 Hi Aschaefer5, I believe the device "locks" after each power cycle. You have to "unlock" to enable switching modes. Order the Clinicians Manual for your Z1 Auto. You should find detailed instruction. http://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-pressure/change-cpap-pressure-settings-adjusting-your-machine-with-a-clinician-setup-manual RE: Z1 auto travel cpap mode change - Aschaefer5 - 10-07-2017 Thanks for the help. The manual on how to lock and unlock isn't very good describing how to go to different settings. The manual I was able to find totally skipped how to change from APAP to CPAP indicating a clinician needed to perform the task? hope this one is better. RE: Z1 auto travel cpap mode change - trish6hundred - 10-07-2017 Hi Aschaefer5, WELCOME! to the forum.! Good luck with CPAP therapy and also with figuring out how to change your settings on the Z1Auto. RE: Z1 auto travel cpap mode change - jedwin - 10-22-2017 I have same problem. In Z1 Auto machine I want to change from CPAP to APAP. Could you find the solution? Will be thankful if you can share RE: Z1 auto travel cpap mode change - sbostin - 06-21-2018 I found the Clinician's Manual available for download online, and I have attached it to this post. This manual allowed me to adjust my Z1 Auto travel CPAP to the correct settings. IMPORTANT: I did this AFTER receiving my doctor's prescription for the appropriate treatment settings. This was to save a visit to my medical equipment provider - not to avoid getting proper medical advice. A couple of other notes on the Z1 Auto: * Per some advice I found on these forums, I do NOT use the skinny tubing that came with the device. I purchased standard diameter tubing online. I was able to get a 6' hose from The CPAP Shop, although I think 4' would have been fine...but it's hard to find them. * Also, as advised on these forums, I "broke in" the motor on the unit by running it in another room overnight (about 8-10 hours). Apparently, the motor needs a little break-in time before it starts running more quietly. Hope this helps save some other people some time with trial and error!

I unboxed mine, plugged it in and used it that night, and was amazed at how quiet it is (compared to a ResMed S8 Escape II, which I found to be extremely quiet). Too bad you didn't do a comparison to see what decibel levels you had and achieved. However, glad you like the machine; that's important for successful therapy. Happy PAPing! RE: Z1 auto travel cpap mode change - rockyptjoe - 10-02-2019 I realize that this is an older thread...but just got the Z2, and didn't find it too loud (I have the ResMed 10 Autosense, but then again, I have some hearing loss). For anyone that has used a standard tube instead of the skinny tube, has that quieted the machine any, or have you noticed any problems...either mechanically or with your therapy? |
