Your video is still helping people, 3 years later. I just received a replacement for my old, recalled CPAP machine. Like others have stated, mine was set to 4.0 and my old machine was set to 10.5. After a 15 second search on RUclips, I found your video and voila, the adjustment was made to the correct pressure! Thanks a bunch!!👍🏼
My sleep doctor has repeated over and over that I shouldn't change settings on my own. Thinking about it, I realize that, with some knowledge and intelligence, one can certainly do it, and should. I don't need to make an appointment for every change. I can understand the caution, but the care has been really simple, so far. Thanks for liberation me from endless unnecessary appointments.
I received a replacement CPAP from Philips, it was set to 4! I called their customer service. After being on hold for 45 minutes, I asked how to get my old settings onto the new machine. They were no help. My doctor is an hour away. Then I thought maybe if I googled it....and I found your video. It's now set. Thank you!

I can’t thank you enough. My daughters C-pap got fried during the big storm hawaii recently had. The sleep center (due to the recall) can’t estimate it’s replacement. She almost literally died because of no machine. So I got ones on my own and thanks to you was able to program it! Can’t thank you enough! Mahalo nui loa!!
After almost two years, I finally got my replacement cpap but it was set at the lowest settings which makes it usless for me. This video helped alot. Got my settings to suit my needs. Thank you very much.
Oh. My. God. Thank you so much for this! The APAP was annoying me so much after having a CPAP for 15 years. My CPAP broke, had to get another and they only had “apap”s. I used this trick and set it up like my old one and it’s perfect!!
Absolutely incredible. Simple, straight to the point and easy to understand. I felt like I was a helium balloon blowing up at night with too much pressure. Thank you. Dr. JHK.
@@jlover911 Oh, don’t worry. When he starts waking up with headaches and tired like he didn’t get much sleep, I’m pretty sure he will be bumping it back up!!! I mean, there is probably a reason that you feel like a balloon. Maybe, I t’s because the machine is literally keeping your airway open so that you can breathe while you’re asleep!!! Without that, you ain’t breathing like you should and therefore you’re not benefiting from the machine. But, what do I know??? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ Anyways… HAPPY APNEA DREAMS, Dr. JHK!!! 🤣🤣🤣
This video was literally a life saver! My CPAP was started at 5 and that was neat enough😩 As a result, my blood pressure was high almost all day. Can't get a Dr appt until 2/2/22. Thank you for empowering me!!
Question since I am new to this. If I feel that I can’t get it to breath do I need to lower the pressure? I feel I need to open my mouth to be able to breathe. TY
I just got my replacement machine because of the recall. Phillips was unable to contact my DME provider for settings, so they sent my machine on auto. After one night, I realized I needed to adjust my settings. Thank you so much for this easy and straight-forward video on how to do just that.

My CPAP had gotten to where it was more whispering than blowing and the lights were very dim, then bright, etc., and a new one requires a sleep study, script, etc., plus around $1,000. So I'm trying this. I must say that the instructions in the video are perfect for finding your way around on the machine. As for how my machine will respond....don't know yet but I do know that the instructions were just great. Thank you.
Thank you for watching! We currently have CPAP devices listed under $600 and require only a prescription which we can assist to obtain. Feel free to call our office and speak to a medical staff at 1866-936-3754.
Thank you for an informative video that solved my problem. While a sleep study can be a good thing, its a complete scam IMO that CPAPs are not available without a prescription. We should certainly be able to adjust these on our own without feeling like criminals. Our docs adjusts it based on what we tell them, so we might as well cut out the middle man and save a bunch of time, money and grief.
I'm anxious to try this. I have been off my machine for months. I need to reduce the pressure until I can adjust. Thankful so much wish I had watched this sooner.
We are glad the video was of help to you. We do always advise patient to confirm with your primary care physician if the changes you made are working well for your therapy. To avoid under or over treatment. Too little pressure will cause apneas to go untreated, where as too much pressure can cause issues with exhalation and retaining your CO2 levels.
My machine replacement finally came in after 2 years. It was not programmed, so I'll look at my settigs from the old one and set the new one like it. My letter says I don't need to return old one, so I have a back up one now. VA says they can program it remotely, but no modem came with my original one.
My Dr. Left the area and I struggle with change. That's an understatement. And so I've just been dealing with low pressure for years. Im so grateful for the video.
Thank you so much. I got the replacement part for my machine yesterday and had the worst sleep ever! It was ramping to 14 and it kept waking me up coughing, spluttering and with a mouth puffed up with air. I have now fixed the settings and hope to get a good nights sleep after 2 years without it.

Been trying to get my doctor to lower the high pressure setting. It would ramp up in the middle of the night and wake me up blowing out my mask. So I would turn it off so it would start again at 4. But then it seemed to ramp up quicker. Doc was reluctant and set it one lower, not enough. Thanks to you I can adjust it to my comfort level. Thanks for giving me a long night's sleep! I love my dream station. I tried the recall replacement and sent it back. It's a terrible, terrible design. I ordered a replacement foam chamber from Amazon and changed it myself. I'm good to go now.

Philips should pay this guy. His 3-minute video solved my issues whereas the various instructions included with my Dream Station replacement (recalled machine), customer service in Colorado (think it was actually India though), and various emails from Philips only served to confuse!

Fantastic job on the step-by-step set of instructions, very informative for anyone to view this video and to make adjustments as necessary to the machine in-order to receive a good night rest. Truly appreciate your time making this video.
This was such a help. As we get older, our lungs get less elastic. Old Pressure was prescribed 14 years ago.(11) With a pulse oximeter....and checking it during the night, I can safely turn old pressure setting up, one click at a time, until I don't wake up , with my heart beating too fast, because of lack of oxygen. Now, I can change my setting. I do believe you should have a sleep apnea test......... to begin with. I do have a friend, who will not wear her CPAP.... it's set too high............ Don't give up hope............I cried tears, the first 3 nights of CPAP. Then the 4th night... I had the best sleep of my life. I no longer felt so sleepy during the day, I was falling asleep, tired, and couldn't drive anywhere, without falling asleep and can't keep eyes open. Then I got energy and lost 30 lbs!!! Now I love it, and I can not sleep without a CPAP.
Yooooooooo...thank you SO MUCH for this, sir. I haven't been to a sleep doctor in years, because it accomished nothing except them making money off of me. I recently got a factory reset new machine and needed to adjust it myself and this was so helpful. Thank you! ❤
Thank you so very much from a very grateful Aussie. My wife has a new Phillips Dreamstation BiPap Avap machine provided due to recall. The ramp time was unable to be accessed. Your video is the only one that I found that showed the work-around to adjust the ramp time for my wifes sleep. As five minute setting was not adequate for her to comfortably go to sleep. Once again your information was incredibly helpful, and has contributed to a more comfortable machine user.
Thank you so much for this clip. I tried long time to find the way to adjust my Cpap pressure as I bought the used machine and seemed all was set and fixed. I likely need more pressure than the previous user and even the manual didn’t tell us enough info how to use the machine. This video is the best as it is very helpful to me.
Thank you. I finally got my replacement machine from the recall and it wasn’t set correctly. After watching your video I was able to locate the settings on the old machine and set up the new one. I appreciate the info.

Thank you. After 4 years I started snoring with the face mask in place. Because of this video I could bump it up a little to solve the problem. Very helpful.
Thank you, this was a lifesaver. My new Dr. said he was going to request that respironics remove a setting my previous Dr. had set. They instead turned my lower setting to almost nothing. My machine was blasting me at the high setting then dropping to nothing with every breath. I couldn't sleep. To make this even better they did this on a Friday night when there's no way I can call the doctor and ask them to have it changed again. Mine must be an older unit because a lot of the settings in this video are not on there but I was able to set the lower setting back up. Much more comfortable. Edited to remove the actual numbers. You type stupid things when you're tired and can't think.
My machine was part of the recall. I received my “new” machine it was set at 4 my original defected one was set to 9. I cannot thank you enough for showing how to change this!
Man what a helpful video my cpap would for some reason keep going to 16 or 18 b4 I fell asleep even b4 the 45 min time. I would have to tighten the strap so tight it was uncomfortable literally pulling it off my face. Thanks for the info.
I have had NO ONE checking on my machine, my compliance, how it is working, etc. I told my MD my mask (FitLife) was ending up leaking and the pressure was going too high because if it, next thing I knew, I was swallowing air all night and waking up with a belly full of air...she said I needed another sleep study when I suggested someone to check the pressure settings. NO, I don't need another sleep study, I need the top pressure to be lowered so I'm not swallowing air when my mask invariably leaks. (I am a side sleeper, it gets moved, whatever) Thank you! I brought the top pressure down and hopefully down far enough so that I am not getting a belly full of air every night anymore. Thank you!

Thank you! The manual is vague on how to use all the features. Bad that. Very highly appreciate this!!! I wanted the pressure lower and to stay there as once ramp ticks over from 4 to 11 it's far too strong
Thank you! I’m not a fan of my sleep doctor’s office/practice, and I needed to bump up my pressure. I thought I was going to have to suffer with getting an appointment, but this video saved me from having to deal with them. Thank you! Amazing video!

Thanks for your help. My healthcare provider changed the settings at my last visit without informing me of this. The increased pressure made it uncomfortable, and more difficult to fall asleep.
Thank you for this video. I got a new replacement machine that didn't transfer the old settings. Now I can use my machine this weekend since respironics help line isn't open untill Mon. Thank you again.

Thanks for the vid. My CPAP hadn't been ramping up, took it into the quote shop and she said all the pressures are set right? Right, but still wasn't able to fix the problem, watched your video and realized that the smart ramp had been turned off.
Hello Randall! We are so glad to hear this video has helped you. Please if you haven't feel free to subscribe to our page, we are hoping to provide more educational videos in the weeks to come.
I lost my " preheat" icon completely! It vanished! I went into therapy and re-established my humidification ( humidifier is NOT HEATING at all, (even though when therapy is on, I still have humid setting in lower right, on the screen that shows my pressure in big circle) so I clicked in " comfort" what I had before from my DME, so what do I click to RESET THESE NEW SETTINGS? ? I don't have heated tube. THX! Update: My son (software developer) restored the "preheat" by going in "advanced settings" , I took the modem out the other day(day before humid stopped heating) to show him the chip, and put it back in... he said maybe doing that reset to default/not advanced setting since some machines don't have the preheat humidifier , wish me luck, what a great service you are doing!
How in the hell I managed to somehow change my bipap to a cpap overnight, about 5 weeks ago is BEYOND puzzling! This video helped immensely and better sleep tonight. Thank you. PS: LBS not meters please, I had to look up on my smarter-than-me phone!
The pressure steel too high for my wife Cpap machine..my God its frustrating 😤..she can't breathe at sleep time I feel so sad for her but I always pray for her 🙏

I swear it didn’t used to be this difficult to get into the settings. This is the second night in a row where my water has depleted entirely and I had to find this video at 6 am to figure out where my settings went
We are hoping the video was helpful. You cannot see your humidifier setting in the patient setting it may mean your provider has some of the extra features turned off.

I, too, got a replacement CPAP that was set too low (4.5, not my usual 8). Your tutorial made it easy to adjust the setting. Looking forward to the benefits of proper therapy. Many thanks!
Glad i foudn this knfor j have this same bipap but no longer use it i have a resmed air curve 10 now and my dad needs. Cpap machine and i set it up for him to use and he didnt need to vuy a new one
Just ensure the BIPAP is safe to use due to the recall. Also we recommend a Doctor to initially set the machine up as they will ensure the therapy pressures are what your dad will need. Remember too much pressure may cause increase levels of CO2 and not enough may cause untreated apneas to occur.
Great video/information! Do you have one the describes all the functions in therapy mode? I’d like more information on the two FLEX options in the Comfort menu. Again, great info.
Hello Kevin, thank you for your feedback. I will pass over your inquires to management and see if we can video with the information you are looking for. Please if you haven't feel free to subscribe to our page, we are hoping to provide more educational videos in the weeks to come.
Do you know if there is a way to change the breathing rate? It seems when I exhale there is like a 2-3 (sometimes) longer delay to when the machine forces air into the tube. That delay is causing me to still have apnea events (i stop breathing) Shouldn't it breathe with me and not against my timing ? Does that make sense? I have severe apnea ( around 75) so I'm basically having an event every time I exhale and if the machine waits a few seconds it's basically not helping.. thanks!
My suggestion would be to speak to your Dr and see if the Aflex is on and if so have them turn it off. Alfex is a comfort feature where the pressure is dropped on exhale. Thank you for watching, we are glad you enjoyed the video. Please don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more CPAP and Sleep Apnea related videos.
I was very surprised that sometimes the correct adjustment is down! They set my initial pressure off of data to 12.5 psi and my AHI numbers were around 8 to 10. I lowered my pressure to 10 psi and my AHI numbers reduced to around 5. Then I further reduced it to 9 psi and my AHI numbers now bounce between 1 and 2...
I am happy to hear your AHI has decreased. Please share that information with your physician and Respshop wishes you the best of luck with your cpap therapy.
Your video is still helping people, 3 years later.

Philips should pay this guy. His 3-minute video solved my issues whereas the various instructions included with my Dream Station replacement (recalled machine), customer service in Colorado (think it was actually India though), and various emails from Philips only served to confuse!

Fantastic job on the step-by-step set of instructions, very informative for anyone to view this video and to make adjustments as necessary to the machine in-order to receive a good night rest. Truly appreciate your time making this video.

This was such a help. As we get older, our lungs get less elastic. Old Pressure was prescribed 14 years ago.(11)
With a pulse oximeter....and checking it during the night, I can safely turn old pressure setting up, one click at a time, until I don't wake up , with my heart beating too fast, because of lack of oxygen.
Now, I can change my setting.
I do believe you should have a sleep apnea test......... to begin with.
I do have a friend, who will not wear her CPAP.... it's set too high............
Don't give up hope............I cried tears, the first 3 nights of CPAP. Then the 4th night... I had the best sleep of my life. I no longer felt so sleepy during the day, I was falling asleep, tired, and couldn't drive anywhere, without falling asleep and can't keep eyes open.
Then I got energy and lost 30 lbs!!!
Now I love it, and I can not sleep without a CPAP.
Hi! Thank you for watching and for sharing your own CPAP journey. 🥰
Yooooooooo...thank you SO MUCH for this, sir. I haven't been to a sleep doctor in years, because it accomished nothing except them making money off of me. I recently got a factory reset new machine and needed to adjust it myself and this was so helpful. Thank you! ❤

Thank you so very much from a very grateful Aussie. My wife has a new Phillips Dreamstation BiPap Avap machine provided due to recall. The ramp time was unable to be accessed. Your video is the only one that I found that showed the work-around to adjust the ramp time for my wifes sleep. As five minute setting was not adequate for her to comfortably go to sleep. Once again your information was incredibly helpful, and has contributed to a more comfortable machine user.

Thank you so much for this clip. I tried long time to find the way to adjust my Cpap pressure as I bought the used machine and seemed all was set and fixed. I likely need more pressure than the previous user and even the manual didn’t tell us enough info how to use the machine. This video is the best as it is very helpful to me.
Thank you. I finally got my replacement machine from the recall and it wasn’t set correctly. After watching your video I was able to locate the settings on the old machine and set up the new one. I appreciate the info.
You're welcome!
Thank you dealing with Philps and other CPAP Stores has been a nightmare. This video saved me.

Thank you. After 4 years I started snoring with the face mask in place. Because of this video I could bump it up a little to solve the problem. Very helpful.

Thank you, this was a lifesaver. My new Dr. said he was going to request that respironics remove a setting my previous Dr. had set. They instead turned my lower setting to almost nothing. My machine was blasting me at the high setting then dropping to nothing with every breath. I couldn't sleep. To make this even better they did this on a Friday night when there's no way I can call the doctor and ask them to have it changed again.
Mine must be an older unit because a lot of the settings in this video are not on there but I was able to set the lower setting back up. Much more comfortable.
Edited to remove the actual numbers. You type stupid things when you're tired and can't think.

Man what a helpful video my cpap would for some reason keep going to 16 or 18 b4 I fell asleep even b4 the 45 min time. I would have to tighten the strap so tight it was
uncomfortable literally pulling it off my face. Thanks for the info.
I received this CPAP machine after the Philips recall and have now adjusted the pressure to suit me.
Thanks for posting this video ☺️

That's for your time and showing how to set the pressure
I have had NO ONE checking on my machine, my compliance, how it is working, etc. I told my MD my mask (FitLife) was ending up leaking and the pressure was going too high because if it, next thing I knew, I was swallowing air all night and waking up with a belly full of air...she said I needed another sleep study when I suggested someone to check the pressure settings. NO, I don't need another sleep study, I need the top pressure to be lowered so I'm not swallowing air when my mask invariably leaks. (I am a side sleeper, it gets moved, whatever) Thank you! I brought the top pressure down and hopefully down far enough so that I am not getting a belly full of air every night anymore. Thank you!
I am sorry to hear you haven't felt supported in your CPAP journey. Feel free to contact our office and speak to a medical staff at 1866 936 3754. We could offer you remote service, which gives us the ability to get detailed data and reports from your machine and advise how you are doing with therapy, mask fit, leak, apneas, and pressure.

Thank you! The manual is vague on how to use all the features. Bad that. Very highly appreciate this!!! I wanted the pressure lower and to stay there as once ramp ticks over from 4 to 11 it's far too strong
Glad it helped!
Thank you! I’m not a fan of my sleep doctor’s office/practice, and I needed to bump up my pressure. I thought I was going to have to suffer with getting an appointment, but this video saved me from having to deal with them. Thank you! Amazing video!

Thanks , I have received my new APAP, dreamstation. Your video can help me adjust a pressure.
Thank you for your support! If you have more questions regarding the product, don't hesitate to contact us!
Great video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you thought about - Franaar Painless Smile Formula (google it)? It is a good one of a kind product for crushing your snoring or sleep apnea problem minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got cool results with it.
Thank you. My sleep physician just ordered setting changes and the respiratory company is being a PITA. Now I don't need them any more.
😂You're very welcome! We're happy to hear that we're empowering CPAP users to take control of their therapy.
Thanks! I just got my replacement from the recall, and it's been 5 years since I adjusted it. Thanks for the refresher course!
You are very welcome! Ensure to speak to your sleep specialist before making any changes to your therapy pressures.

Thank you so much. I bought this unit from a woman who never used it. Her settings were at 20mmhg. IP and EP.
This made it impossible to use and practically blew the mask off my face. Now I have a working machine at my prescribed setting.

Thanks for the vid. My CPAP hadn't been ramping up, took it into the quote shop and she said all the pressures are set right? Right, but still wasn't able to fix the problem, watched your video and realized that the smart ramp had been turned off.
Thank you this was incredibly helpful. Thank the Lord!
Hello Randall! We are so glad to hear this video has helped you. Please if you haven't feel free to subscribe to our page, we are hoping to provide more educational videos in the weeks to come.
I lost my " preheat" icon completely! It vanished! I went into therapy and re-established my humidification ( humidifier is NOT HEATING at all, (even though when therapy is on, I still have humid setting in lower right, on the screen that shows my pressure in big circle) so I clicked in " comfort" what I had before from my DME, so what do I click to RESET THESE NEW SETTINGS? ? I don't have heated tube. THX! Update: My son (software developer) restored the "preheat" by going in "advanced settings" , I took the modem out the other day(day before humid stopped heating) to show him the chip, and put it back in... he said maybe doing that reset to default/not advanced setting since some machines don't have the preheat humidifier , wish me luck, what a great service you are doing!

Thank you very much! I needed help with the machine and it was after hours and this helped me to fix the problem myself.
I swear it didn’t used to be this difficult to get into the settings. This is the second night in a row where my water has depleted entirely and I had to find this video at 6 am to figure out where my settings went
We are hoping the video was helpful. You cannot see your humidifier setting in the patient setting it may mean your provider has some of the extra features turned off.

Glad i foudn this knfor j have this same bipap but no longer use it i have a resmed air curve 10 now and my dad needs. Cpap machine and i set it up for him to use and he didnt need to vuy a new one
Just ensure the BIPAP is safe to use due to the recall. Also we recommend a Doctor to initially set the machine up as they will ensure the therapy pressures are what your dad will need. Remember too much pressure may cause increase levels of CO2 and not enough may cause untreated apneas to occur.
@@RespShop i have the pressures that he needs already thanks for the advice
Thank you this is a life saver!!

Do you know if there is a way to change the breathing rate? It seems when I exhale there is like a 2-3 (sometimes) longer delay to when the machine forces air into the tube. That delay is causing me to still have apnea events (i stop breathing) Shouldn't it breathe with me and not against my timing ? Does that make sense? I have severe apnea ( around 75) so I'm basically having an event every time I exhale and if the machine waits a few seconds it's basically not helping.. thanks!
Hi there, Thank you for reaching out to Respshop! Feel free to call our Respiratory Therapist 866-936-3754
My suggestion would be to speak to your Dr and see if the Aflex is on and if so have them turn it off. Alfex is a comfort feature where the pressure is dropped on exhale.

I was very surprised that sometimes the correct adjustment is down! They set my initial pressure off of data to 12.5 psi and my AHI numbers were around 8 to 10. I lowered my pressure to 10 psi and my AHI numbers reduced to around 5. Then I further reduced it to 9 psi and my AHI numbers now bounce between 1 and 2...
I am happy to hear your AHI has decreased. Please share that information with your physician and Respshop wishes you the best of luck with your cpap therapy.
Thank You!!!
