How do I adjust pressure on Viasys BreatheX - avalon.uk - 04-23-2013
My Viasys BreatheX machine. which I use as a secondary unit for vacations and staying away from home, needs the pressure adjusting. My hospital have adjusted the ResMed machine they supplied, but are unable to adjust my BreatheX as they did not supply it. How can I do it myself?

Not sure if the instruction for Visays Orion work with your machine

Viasys Orion CPAP: Press both the plus ( + ) button and minus ( -) button simultaneously to get into the clinician setup menu. First set the ramp pressure values, then the ramp time. After these is the altitude setting (1 - 9 where 1=1,000 feet above sea level); to find your altitude click here* . Next, set the standard pressure in increments of 0.5 cm/H20 of pressure.

My machine is the BreatheX, not the Orion - it has no + or - buttons, simply "On/Off", "Set" and "Change". I've tried various combinations singly and together but only able to change Ramp or Alt.

Try unplugging the machine, then plug it in while holding down the ON/OFF or SET button (or a combination of the two) simultaneously and see what happens.
Let us know if this does/doesn't work.

Hi avalon.uk, welcome to the forum!
Maybe you need to hold down the Set and Change buttons together for a long time, like 5 seconds?
Good luck,

Did you ever get an answer to this? I use the same secondary machine and also need to tweak my settings.
