The time on xPAP machines are usually set at the factory. Some can be reset to the local time but others cannot. Then there is, in most locations, the twice a year time change. This wiki page will discuss if setting the clock is possible and how to do it.

CPAP clinician setup manuals can be obtained for most common CPAP machines by going to Apnea Board's CPAP Clinician Manual Page. For further assistance, patients can post questions on the Apnea Board Forum.
