I just got mine, and was VERY intimidated about the whole CPAP/APAP therapy experience, but after gently reading all the documentation, I finally plugged the thing in, tried it out, and against my apprehensions, slept through the whole night with just the default settings! One thing I can advise, to get yourself comfortable and familiar with any of these beasts, is just put it on in the daytime when you're not going to sleep, and mess around with it. You'll find the more you familiarize with its simple controls and basic comfort settings, the less intimidating it becomes. This is a beautiful machine, it runs so whisper-smooth, I love it! Looking forward to better health, even now the first day after waking from it, I feel a bit less dragged out already!
Great input! Thank you!
Just got mine today and I’m very intimidated. I tried it for a few minutes and I’m not comfortable with it at all. Feels like I’m being forced to breathe and uncomfortable
@@LaShar88 Laquita!! Do not be intimidated!! I know its wierd at first, but be sure to set the RAMP setting to go for a half hour-ish, and start out at a very low initial ramp pressure (iPR) so it doesnt come on like a hurricane when you first mask up. Also, here's a cool mental picture which helped me stop fighting AGAINST it, and start working WITH it - I imagine I'm a scuba diver, in a beautiful lagoon.. going to sleep.. and the cpap is your oxygen supply that you trust to breathe through, and keep you safe and comfortable... anyway, that worked for me my first night. Trust me.. it gets ALOT easier, and eventually you will be MORE uncomfortable sleeping without it!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I just set this machine up for my 81 year old dad. I found the booklet of instructions incredibly hard to follow, but your video made it so much easier to understand. Thanks again!!!! 🙏🏾
Glad that the video was helpful. I agree. The manual is terrible. I have read it as well.
I agree the manual is awful. I'm setting my dad's up for him as well. (He's 74.) This video explained so much better than the manual. Now I'm going to go adjust settings
Wonderful information. I received my iBreeze two days ago. The company employee showed me everything on my visit but doing it myself was another matter. I was able to connect everything but I’m still learning the settings. Thank you for the thorough instructions!! I think I’m ready to start using it tonight. 😁
Glad it was helpful!
It would be nice if you explained ramp starting pressure and time more. Remember people that are watching this video are probably not familiar with what these settings do
Thanks for the input.
I got mine, and was happy about my CPAP machine experience. I think it works better than my old CPAP machine.
Thank you for the iBreeze CPAP feedback.
I’ve used mine for a week now. It’s noisier (I can hear myself take every breath) than my Dream Station 1 but I’m getting use to it. I love the mask fit better than my previous one. I have a pillow mask and it’s absolutely great, so comfortable! I got the heated tube and love that I can preheat it. I also love the information section. My AHI has never gone above 6. I’m glad to have this machine.
Thanks for sharing!
I thought I was doing something wrong, for I hear myself breathing too
@@bnichol6A I use a noise machine that helps cut down the noise. Now that I’ve used this machine for four months, the noise is hardly noticeable.
@@janeyjanedee2493 What noise machine do you use? Does it help mask the breathing noises from the ibreeze?
Mine just shipped from y'all last night! Super excited to get some sleep. I had 99.5 RDI so some relief might do me well! Thank you guys for the quick packaging!
You are very welcome. We look forward to your results. Thank You!
Superb review. Nice to know there are other machines available. This one looks pretty good
Thank you very much.
I just got the same machine about 2 weeks ago, you explained a lot compared the the rep that brought me the machine , Ir But you are very informative. the card was till you showed it because I have to bring it to my sleep dr. net month, When I first saw the screen it kind of intimidated be because it looked like a set of lungs lol The head gear is nice with the magnets but I am having adjust the mask, it is foam all around but no thing to place above the nose, got blisters from my old one. Was having trouble sleeping last night because the mask was leaking under the chin, the dr. set my machine at 18instead of 16. The. tech said I could used boiled water in the humidifier , not sure if this is good.
Thank you , this was very informative. , Nancy from WA State.
Informative video. Thanks. For me, it seems that the water reservoir is not so user-friendly. Sliding it out is great but then having to detach the container's lid each time seems inconvenient and could have been designed better.
Great observation. Thanks for the input on the iBreeze CPAP.
That looks like an nice CPAP machine hope the VA will get it soon. Thanks for your review
You are very welcome. I am sure that you will be seeing a lot more of the iBreeze everywhere. It is a good CPAP and everyone needs CPAPs right now.
I am very pleased with your presentation. It is very clear, easy to understand, and simple to use. I have a question to ask. My machine is ibreeze 20A,. does it operate as same as the ibreeze Auto CPAP that you do the presentation? Thank you so much. Bicky Nguyen
Thank you and yet they operate the same.
Hello friend, thanks for your video and for all the information you provide, I have a question regarding this machine, I have bought like this machine for my mum a year ago but until now we don’t see and improvement to her breathing case, she suffer from breathless, fatigue, wheezing. My question is is this machine for Oxygen therapy or humidifier the air in the room??
My mum diagnosed with COPD ( chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ?
My other question is is this machine good for lack of oxygen level ??? Please answer me
This CPAP is using room air only. No extra oxygen. If you have sleep apnea and are not breathing while you sleep, then it should help with oxygen levels by keeping you breathing.
I just got this Ibreeze.Tired of waiting on my replacement from the recall. Its easy to use just as you demonstrated. Its very quiet. I had no issue setting it up. Its a smaller sized machine compared to my dreamstation 1. Which i loved 😢. But i truly like the size of this ibreeze.Thanks for the tipsabout yhe alarm, and putting the hose connection on the back first and about needing water in the unit to see that the humidifer will work. I have one question. **** Which brand or is there face mask that works best with this unit??
I am very glad to hear that you like the iBreeze CPAP. You can actually use any mask on the market with that CPAP. So it is completely up to your preferences and comfort.
I just got mine this week. It feels like a vent in that it pushes the air into me when I breathe in. The problem is, it thinks it knows when I'm going to breathe and what part of the respiratory cycle I'm in. It cuts out giving me air sometimes or tries to give me air before I'm breathing in. I find I'm fighting with this thing to breathe. I woke up breathing very fast because I was fighting it in my sleep. I was breathing about once per second. I can't find any setting to help me with this. What am I doing wrong? During the mask fit, it even tells me I'm having fit problems when it starts to vent me. I'm hating this machine right now...so much that I'm ready to sleep without it. I have been using the Dreamstation for years and never had any problems with it so it isn't that I don't know what a CPAP feels like.
My recommendation is to adjust the IPR setting. For many of our customers that adjustment has made a huge difference on the iBreeze. Video demonstrating that below.
ruclips.net/video/F1C6BdQs8v0/видео.html
I’m a first time cpap user on day 3 of the ibreeze, and experiencing the EXACT same issue as you, where I feel like the machine tries to match pressure to your respiratory rate, and if you vary your rate of breathing, or feel the need for a good long breath in, it either under or over delivers pressure, making you reflexively breathe deeper or shallower, leading to a vicious cycle of “fighting” against the machine. My heart rate goes up because my body feels like it’s either being suffocated or inflated like a balloon. Is this normal? Because I hate it! I set IPR to 3, and last night, focused on trying to maintain a constant respiratory rate, and it was better, but having to concentrate so hard is a bit anxiety provoking and makes it incredibly difficult to fall asleep. Have you found a solution? I don’t think it’s my mask, in my case. Also, all of the fighting against the machine leads to what I feel are false positive apneic events, as I’m getting 13+ per hour on the machine, when my baseline sleep study showed 11. Super frustrated with this thing!
Also interested that you previously used a dreamstation and didn’t experience this. Is that machine an APAP, too? Wondering if maybe it’s the APAP that we’re fighting? Did the dreamstation vary the pressure the same way the ibreeze does?
Mine is doing the same thing . It’s the machine. They don’t believe me. More people are complaining about the pressure fluctuating in ramp mode, cpap and apap .
@@rookie779 Something I learned here on RUclips, is that the ibreeze ships with a 19mm tube, but the default setting is 15mm. Changing the setting to 19mm helps A LOT. However, it doesn’t completely fix the problem, and I hated the machine so much, that I complained to the DME vendor that issued it, and they agreed to swap it out for an AirSense 11. The difference is night and day. The AirSense 11 is a billion times better, with none of those janky pressure fluctuations. My apneic events went down from 15-20 per hour on the ibreeze, to less than 1 on the AirSense. My verdict is the ibreeze is vastly inferior. If you can get your DME to upgrade you to an AirSense, do it!
Is there any sort of "elbow" type adapter for the air output in the back? That's the only thing that turns me off about this machine that I can see. Logically, you would have the machine's screen facing somewhat toward you so you can see it while lying in bed. That would mean the air output is on the opposite side of the machine, and with no elbow it shoots straight out the back and would have to make a long turn back toward the bed. With a 6ft hose that wouldn't leave you much slack to turn over or move.
That is a good point. Thanks for the input.
I had same issue. Ended up facing the machine forward on the dresser so it it wouldn't get too bent or catch the dresser corner. So in order for me to see screen gotta lean around.
WOW! This helps tremendously! I'm having trouble wearing my mask. I am very claustrophobic. I also have some stress trying to wear the mask at least 4 hrs a day or the insurance will not cover the machine. I need time to get used to this. I wish they would give me more time. Do you have any suggestions?
Use it as much as you can while awake during the day. Watching TV, reading, etc. It will give you more total time on the CPAP and will help the acclimation tremendously.
I’ve been on cpap for about 20 years and just bought this one. I’m returning it. During an inhalation, it suddenly changes pressure and your breathing against resistance. Screen shows no change in pressure though. I’ve changed every possible setting to no avail.
thanks for the feedback.
Mine doing the same thing. They don’t believe me. I recorded it. I herd this is common with the IBreeze
@@rookie779 I contacted the seller and now have a different kind. (Luna G3). Works perfectly.
I am having the same issue. I did not feel right on this machine. It would never adjust the pressure to higher than 5 cmh2o, that is with a starting of 4 cmh20 and a max of 20 cmh2o.
I had an overnight oxcimeter done and in 7hrs of sleep had 105min with a pulse ox level under 88%!!! The machine said I had an AHI of under 1 for that night?????? hmmmm....
I can feel this machine pulsing on the inhale and exhale and it wakes me up. My next option is get the mim pressures bumped to 9 cmh20, not feeling confident that will work. BTW R-Care is turned off, as well as iPR.
My ramp time will NOT go below 5min, cannot get it to zero....
I think there are some serious software issues with these machines. My wifi connection for this machine worked for about 2 weeks, then lost connection and cannot see wifi APs ANYWHERE.
@CPAPmyway Any help would be appreciated ...
@@tomverstraete4055 the company is China based and the internet cpap company I bought mine from told me I’d get no help from China. Sending it back & exchanging it was the fix for me.
One thing I don't like is that whenever I inhale, it blasts more pressure at me, then takes it away when I exhale. Even with that IPR turned off. The technician who set it up with me at my clinic said it only does that during ramp, but that is NOT true in the least. I feel lied to there. It is incredibly difficult to sleep with constantly varying pressure hitting me all night, and it is even causing some chest discomfort and headaches. Breathing in reminds me of scuba diving honestly.
Is there any way to fix that? If not, I would not recommend this at all.
May want to adjust the R-Care setting.
@@CPAPmyway What is your recommendation for a good R-Care setting?
Thank you for the very informative video,I have a question could it be used for infants and neonates on hospital settings?
I do not think so. This is an adult CPAP only to my knowledge.
@@CPAPmyway thanks
You can also adjust humidity setting if you remove your humidity chamber. Also you can preheat the humidity by going back to comfort settings with the chamber out and turning it on. I do not know if you can turn that on with water in the chamber. My other point again deals with the humidity chamber is the type of patient. Many of mine are the elderly and have severe arthritis. They do have difficulty in removing to fill it.
Thanks for the input on the iBreeze. Great info.
What is the ideal setting
@@Appregator Unfortunately that is for you to find out. On the IBREEZE unit there are 8 humidity settings with them saying 3 is standard. If you are new to CPAP they also have an auto option on humidity and let the machine determine it for you.
@@deannadempsey91 thanks
Great video. I need more information on the menu meanings. Oh.. Just received this machine a couple of days ago. It still feels like it trying to blow my face off... I also noticed my machine dose not display more selection that I've seen? I know how to access the clinical menu. My issue is sinuous blocking when try to sleep. I tried a oxygen concitrator set at 1lt 90% to sleep. Big difference. Now trying a cpap to see if this will work. I. Love the very low power draw. Don't even noticed it on my system. I ac adapter shows about 2amp draw.
Thanks for the input.
Great video!!! I’ve been using this new machine for a few nights and ❤️❤️❤️ it!!! Two questions: the manual states there is a wifi setting in the menu but my machine doesn’t show wifi? Related, is there an app for this machine? Thanks for all your great content!
You are welcome. If you don't see the wifi on the unit you probably have the model without wifi. You can still use the SD card though. There is an app, but I do not think it is released yet.
Great video. Do I have to unplug my unit daily, when not in use? I feel like I read to do so, Idk. Also, can I plug the unit into a power surge plug? Ty! =)
You do not have to unplug it and a surge protector is fine.
i just got this machine yesterday so i get to try it out tonight so apricate the video on the options and understand how it works
You are welcome
Great demo! -only one correction: The power plug at the back is DC power coming from an AC adapter. The AC adapter does the conversion from AC outlet power to DC power required by the unit.
Thanks for the input on the iBreeze CPAP.
Kindly plz let me know how to shut down just plug it out or any button when going washroom or stop for the while and could we use this for whole night
Great video. Thanks for putting this out. I have seen some comments that mention a heated tube option for this machine. I’ve looked online, including on Resvent’s site, but haven’t seen a heated tube available for this. Do you know if that’s an option from Resvent or third-party manufacturer? Thanks.
I have not seen a heated tube from Resvent yet.
The heated tubing I received was from a company called Hybernite.
Thank you for this video! It's great! Can the IPR be set at any level, regardless of the minimum pressure? ie. if the minimum pressure is only 4 cwp, can the IPR be set at 3, allowing the machine to decrease to only 1 cwp on exhalation? Thanks!
Yes you can!
I just received one yesterday. Filled up the water and hooked everything up by the bed. I don't know what or how it adjusts but it feels like I'm getting punched in the face. Definitely not quiet. After 30 minutes I had to take it off as there's no way I could sleep getting punched like it was doing. There were even a couple times when there was no breath and I actually jumped up in the bed. I really hope this can be adjusted. Otherwise it's going back asap.
Experiencing the same thing. It seems to try to match pressure to your respiratory rate, and if you deviate or change your rate, it either under or over delivers pressure, making you feel like you’re suffocating or being inflated like a puffer fish. I find it almost impossible to relax in this state. Thought there was something wrong with my machine, as a first time cpap user, which led me to this video. Glad to see others reporting this, but wonder what the solution is?? Another commenter said the dreamstation didn’t do this. Hoping maybe it’s a setting that can be adjusted, as otherwise, this seems like a nice machine…
Thank you for the informative video! I am a new user. A few nights I have noticed that when I exhale, my mask kind of "puffs" up? I am using an Amara View mask. I am on the APAP setting with pressures ranging from 4 to 16. Would changing the IPR help? Thank you again!
IPR setting is probably exactly what you need to adjust. Most customers really like it at IPR of 1. But you can try adjusting it up or down to see if there is any noticeable difference.
Mine is doing the same thing. I herd a lot people complaining about it . One Doctor emailed them. No answer yet
Hey Clay, thanks for all these informative reviews, it’s been very helpful while looking into cpap machines. Btw I’m not sure if you remember me but my name is Tommy, sams and Judy’s son from hole in one. I was watching your videos and thought you looked familiar.
Hey Tommy. Great to hear from you. I am glad that the iBreeze videos are helping you out. Feel free to reach out to me any time if you need help. And now.... I am going to go pickup some donuts! ;)
Thank you for your professionally thorough review! 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video!! Was wondering can this model have heated tubing?
It can not. There are off brand heated tubes, but not one specific for this unit.
This is my first ever machine for sleep apnea I’m struggling to get used to it I feel like it’s extremely hard to breath in havnt been able to keep it on long. I’ve only had it over the weekend gonna be calling the place I got it from not sure how or what to adjust or maybe I’m just not used to it I have no idea it’s kinda frustrating
That is not an uncommon experience for someone on CPAP for the first time. I will tell you two things that help a lot of people. 1) Try different masks. I have a blog link below that might help with that. 2) Try using it during the day while you are wide awake and distracted by TV or a book. It is WAY easier to adjust to something new while you are awake. Link to help mask blog below.
cpapmyway.com/blog/best-cpap-mask-current-and-new-users
Experiencing this too. I’ve used it 3 nights now, and last night was the first one where I managed to keep it on all night, but it was hardly restful sleep. Constantly wake up fighting the machine, which is either over or under delivering pressure. Did you ever get used to it? I’ve tried using it during the daytime, too, and it’s the same - feel like I’m constantly fighting it for too little or too much air. Has to do with the machine’s prediction of when I’m breathing in or out, and if I vary from that, it freaks out (and then I freak out).
@@PlanetEntropy I would check your settings I ended up finding out that the medical place had mine set on a mask that was not full face which is what I have. But did also change my mask it’s still a full face but instead of it going clear up by my eyes it sits under my nose. There is still times I feel like it’s hard to breath but I’m atleast sleeping better and have made it about 6 hours
@@leanns295 Thanks! Glad you found a solution that works for you. I think I have the same mask, or at least same style as yours, as it sits under my nose and also covers my mouth. I think it’s called the airfit F30. My settings say full face, so I think that’s correct. After doing some more research, I think the problem may be the IPR. I initially thought increasing it to 3 would help, as that reduces the pressure during exhalation, but I think the ‘I’, which is supposed to mean “intelligent” is what’s causing my problem. It tries to predict when I should be exhaling, to lower the pressure, but if I get out of sync with that, then it’s either giving me too much or too little air, and then when it senses I’m inhaling instead of exhaling, it overcompensates by adding more pressure. I’m going to try dialing that back to a 1, or turn it off altogether.
Ah yes I think I set mine on 0 or 1 made a huge difference!
Very nice review. Thank you. My junky DreamStation is almost 5 years old, so I will be able to purchase a new unit soon. This might be the winner.
Glad that you found the iBreeze video helpful.
Thank you for making this video and filling in the details on ramp etc
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
I just got my Cpap and feeling not confident! I was asked if I sleep with mouth open or closed. Yes on my back, NO on my side - so she sent the nose mask. I am not liking all the mask straps over my head at all. Question - were are the list of other masks and how do I know which one to choose. Feeling overwhelmed.
Sorry to hear that it has been a struggle. Rest assured that you are not alone on that. Many user struggle the first few weeks. The right mask can make all the difference. We have a really nice blog below that should give you some help.
cpapmyway.com/blog/best-cpap-mask-current-and-new-users
@@CPAPmyway Thank you. I did get a face scan and they recognized I needed the small full-face mask. Will give it another go.
I just got mine. I can’t sleep with it. When I fall asleep and it ramps up to 25cf it chokes me and wakes me up. Tonight is going to be my 4th night with it. It is my first machine
That is not abnormal for someone starting for the first time. Regardless of CPAP model. Two things can help significantly. 1) trying a different mask. I have a link to one of our blogs below that should help with that. 2) Using the CPAP as much as you can during the day. Best to do it while watching TV or reading. Something to distract you from the CPAP. These two things can make a world of difference over the next couple weeks.
cpapmyway.com/blog/best-cpap-mask-current-and-new-users
Help - husband got his last night! First time Cpap user! The NOISE DROVE US BOTH CRAZY! I have a recalled unit and wore earplugs to try to block the noise!
Wow!! That is not good. We have not had that issue so far on the iBreeze CPAP. It has been very quiet.
Try different masks, that's usually where the sound comes from, and different masks with different fits sound different.
It’s probably your mask. Try a different mask.
mines loud too. not only that makes a whistling noise in the machine and the air filter latch clicks with every breath. I had to put a little piece of scotch tape on it to hold it steady.
Thanks so much for going through all the steps, really appreciate it.
You are very welcome
i did see your wifes review on the ibreeze.I noticed you guys said she had mild apnea .I was diagnosed as mild.Im still tired everyday all day long.Did was she tired all day long also?
She didn't even know she had it. Did the test back when we first opened up to test out the system. That is how she found out about the apnea. Took her 6 months to actually try CPAP, then she realized how much better the CPAP made her feel. She just always thought that she wasn't a morning person. She's still mean to me in the AM, but much better rested. LOL!!!!
@@CPAPmyway lol thanks for sharijg
Where to check my average or highest pressure? From SD card?
I just got mine this morning I’m hoping I got it right!! Thanks for this video and love your shirt by the way!!!
Good luck with the new CPAP. Thank you!!
and how do you like it?
Having problems with the nasal pillows. How can I purchase a full mask.
Here is a link to our Full Face CPAP Masks.

Do you know any companies that repair the iBreeze machines? I got an error code last night (error code 207) that said the turbine was not functioning properly. Apparently, there's no warranty on this unit and was wondering if it's even worth fixing. Thanks in advance.
There is a 2 year warranty if you bought it from a decent company. We replace the unit for our iBreeze customers if it goes down during the 2 year warranty period.
Just got the machine, not doing well. I amtotally new to this. I wake up every night/morning at 3. The pressure is too much for me. I do not know how to turn it down. What do I do? Any information on what I can do for congestion? Thanks
You would want to reach out to your Dr about the pressure reduction. They may be able to make that change for you quickly.
Just got mine and am trying to figure it out and get it going. Things that you may want to consider are: Most people do not know what the letter abbreviations are that you use. If you say something like IPR...tell folks what that means. IPR to me means nothing...tell me! Thanks.
Thanks for the input.
I just got mine last Saturday and five nights usage - two of those mornings I woke up and the machine was off?! I’m so confused-
No power interruption
Mask fit correctly
Woke up mask on right but system was off?!
Suggestion please
CPAPs shutting down usually boil down to high leaks and the auto-off feature shutting the unit down. I would disable the auto-off feature to see if that would work. There may also be something wrong with the CPAP requiring repair.
My provider set up the device as APAP with max pressure of 20 and min at 7. My doctor had prescribed 11 cmH2O. However, the device over several minutes on the first night of use kept increasing the pressure until it reached the max of 20 and stayed there, regardless of what was going on. I found this pressure to be way too much--I could barely manage to exhale and could not fall asleep after 2+ hours. The next day I got into the provider mode and reduced the max to just over the prescription value (I set at 12), and then the next night the device seemed to work well and was comfortable. Why does the device think it has to go up to the max pressure and stay there? Is this max/min really a useful feature? For what is it useful?
That is a question only your Dr could answer. They would have to look at the data on the report to explain it.
I have been using this for a few days. Waited 7 months to get the machine. It's so loud when inhaling and exhaling it even bothers him. I have the nasal cushion mask that has a great fit and not leaking. Like the other person said sounds like Darth Vader breathing. Hard to go to sleep listening to that. When I take it off it's like ahhhh quietness. The hose is bulky, big around and stiff. Although it's on top of your head the weight of it pulls your mask up tight so you have to put slack under pillow. The rubber ends are to tight! I cannot even get it off the back of the unit it is so tight and to call it a quick release on top of your head is not true. You have to pull and fight with it to get it off and on so much I'm afraid I will rip my headgear. I just pull the whole headgear off to get up. I do not want to cut the rubber and buy a new hose each time. My husband's machine another brand, is whisper quiet, even when inhaling and exhaling. His quick releases are a click and they unclip, his hose is not stiff very loose that works with him moving, my hose very cheap compared to his.
Thanks for the input.
Don't pull the hose straight out. I had the same issue at first. Just grab the hard rubber grips on the end of hose and and bend it to one side it pops off super easy. put it back on the same way. one side first on an angle then push the other side over. presto.
I went back to my therapist and got a new hose that is alot smaller around and alot more moveable not stiff. It's made a world of difference than the one that came with with. Also got a quick connect with the new hose like husband's. It is alot quieter now and I am satisfied overall.
So I received a demo machine to put out on my patients and it's incredibly loud. It looks hooked up correctly I checked the humidifier to see if it was in all the way, checked the filter if there was a blockage and everything and yet it's still super loud. Sounds nothing like this video. Help please! TIA
Can you tell where the noise is coming from? We had one bad unit on our last shipment that we had to return. The noise was coming mostly from the filter housing are of the CPAP, and the pressure was way high on inspection.
Got it home first day, was excited to use it and it won’t power on. It powered on at the suppliers office and the power supply is showing power
I've been using this model for 3 weeks and have just one problem with it. The air coming in is too cold. I'm almost getting a brain freeze some nights. Never had that problem before starting APAP therapy. Is there any way to warm the air that is delivered? Maybe some third party product that will work in conjunction with it?
You can adjust the humidity up which will increase the heater plate. LInk to video explaining that below.
ruclips.net/video/F1C6BdQs8v0/видео.html
What does "R-Care" mean on my machine? Does it need to be On or Off?
It adjusts the algorithm to be more or less aggressive. you can change it to your own comfort.
Can you kindly confirm one thing please? If the water in the reservoir runs out, will the humidifier turn off automatically or can it over heat? Thanks.
If there is not water in the iBreeze humidifier it will not turn on. However it also will not overheat.
I obtained mine in the middle of July and it works well enough. A lot better than the old clunky, noisy one from around 2015/16. I love its size and am amazed at how silent it is. Most of the noise is when I'm breathing; the air coming into the full face mask and my inhaling. Sometimes I find it has shut down before I fully wake up, but can always inhale deeply to activate it, so that's not a major issue.
Thanks for the input.
Recently got mine and have had strong noise from the filter area of the unit when I inhale. Tried two different hoses and masks. Is this likely a faulty unit? Any advice would be appreciated.
We had that happen on one other unit, and there was an issue. I would get back with the provider to have then look at it.
what kind of noise? Mine would click with every breath and i put a piece of scotch tape to stop it.
I bought the machine at your store. The description states with preheat option, but there is no option for that.
It should be there.
What tubing is needed for this I am having a hard time receiving the correct tubing from insurance? Also9, can the So Clean be used with this machine?
Standard tubing will work just fine. You can use the SoClean. I will put links below to both things for your reference.

I would like to buy one, Are they in stock? My ENT Doc gave me a new Rx. The wedsite says preorder. Im still using my dreamstation. I know I shouldn't but I cant sleep w/o it.
They will be available in about 1 week, but a large portion of the first shipment is presold. Still some left, but you would want to order now if you want to get one for sure.
The main problem I'm having is when I get off the machine then use it again to sleep, the ramp pressure does not seem to adjust back down to the lower starting pressure. How do you get it to realize you are starting a new sleep cycle, so it ramps down?
You would have to use the manual ramp button on the top of the machine. You just press the triangle button on top when you first start the CPAP back up.
@@CPAPmyway I am having the same issue and the ramp button doesn’t do anything after the first use. I’m wondering if I have a ramp up time of 1 hour if I’m out of ramp? It makes it incredibly difficult to fall back asleep.
whats the wait time for a new customer recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea throught your company with insurence ?
We do not take insurance, but there is no wait currently.
Started the machine last night, getting used to it. How do I register it? How do I get it on WiFi. App does not work. Nobody answers my emails. Do I just rely on the machine recording itself on the little card? Very frustrated, I was told it would be easy to attach to my WiFi. Think the machine will be great once WiFi sorted out. Thank you.
We have a video to help you with the WIFI setup. Link below.

Are you able to adjust pressure in a different menu? I know you said you can't in the patient menu.
You would have to access the Clinical Menu to change settings. Most of the time your provider or Dr would do that for you.
The patient menu let’s you choose between 15 and 19 mm. 22mm is size of the connector on the back.
If you are using the old 22mm standard tubing then use the 19mm selection on the screen.
And now how do I connect the new hose that didn't come with a mask?
Are there attachments designed to be used with the ion cleaners on the market? My Resmed curve has an adapted water tank to allow the ion cleaner to circulate throughout the entire unit.
There is not a specific adapter just yet, but you can use the standard adapter to hook the SoClean up to the iBreeze. Link to that item below.

I have been using my ibreeze for a couple weeks and really like it. One minor problem, however. Everyday about 4pm an alarm starts beeping and will keep on beeping until I turn the machine on and off. Just wondering what kind of an alarm this is?
Sounds like your alarm clock is engaged. I have a link below that show you how to disable it.

Great video! I appreciate your thoroughness.
Thank you!
I have a part that has a red ring around it but can't find where it goes my water resorvoy doesn't fit
Thanks for this video. Just got mine today. Started to take the plastic off the display and it is stuck under the dial. I'm afraid to pop the dial off but see no other way to finish removing it! I may sound like a dummy (certainly feel like one)... But please help! 😅
I know. That is a weird design. They obviously put the protective cover on before they install the dial. If you pull the plastic cover off enough to cut it a little bit you should be able to tear it down to the dial and then it will pull off easily.
The dial comes off just like a radio knob would so if you pop it off you just line the shape back up and it pops right back in. It has some resistance when you’re pulling it off but don’t worry it’ll come off lol. I set these up every week.
Can I make the machine a constant air flow? My husband doesn't like when the air volume slow down when he exhaul..? And he's trying to sleep soon and he can't. So we're hoping it has a setting to disable that ?
Yes. You would want to turn the IPR completely off. Link below to the video that discusses that.
ruclips.net/video/F1C6BdQs8v0/видео.html
My husband has been using this machine for about a month. It suddenly quit blowing. Do you have any advice?
That is usually due to excessive leaks. If there is not a significant leak, then you may have a more serious issue.
Thank You I was going crazy trying to own the water chamber. 🙏😘
You are welcome.
I just got mine yesterday, I haven't used it yet, but I already have issues with it. When I plugged in for the first time the turbine sounded like it was going to explode. I heard a lot of gurgling coming from the humidifier. It sounded like someone was taking a massive off of a water bong. Then I got an error message 201 saying the turbine was misaligned and I have to reboot the machine. I had to do that multiple times before it would run normally. The filter flap keeps on wanting to fall off. The hose is to small felt like I was going to break the machine trying to install the hose since it such a tight fit.
That is a terrible start. Sounds like a complete replacement needed here.
Is it a CPAP or a BPAP? On mine, it's written BPAP on the back label...
The one in this video is a CPAP or Auto CPAP. If is says BPAP on your then you may have a bilevel.
How much cost please? I want it for mom, and is there a official website? Please respond!
Pricing is very fluid these days, but the latest pricing can be found at the iBreeze link below.

The manual says you have to unplug it to turn it off which seems odd. Is that right? Can't you just turn off the button on the top?
Yes the on and off button works fine for turning it on and off. No need to unplug iBreeze in any of the experience that we have.
I found this video very helpful but do have one question. I have tried to find videos with not luck regarding if you are to remove and clean the long tubing that connects the machine to the separate mask/tubing (I have a nasal mask). I just got a machine a week ago, and I can remove the mask from the long tubing, but I can't get the tubing off the back of the ibreeze machine. It is on the removable cap TIGHT, and I have tried to squeeze, twist and wiggle. I don't want to put too much force for fear of tearing the tube. Any suggestions?
The Tubing does need to be cleaner, and the only way to do it is to remove it from the CPAP unfortunately. Try wiggling it back and forth. If that doesn't get it off, then you may have to slice the rubber cuff and peal it off. Then replace it with a new hose.
don't pull or twist. Grab the hard rubber grip part and simply bend it to pop off one side. It literally comes right off that way. I had the same issue at first.
We've purchased the ibreeze but cannot setup wifi on the machine. It says in the instruction booklet to do via mobile but when connecting many devices show up, what am i looking for exactly?
Additionally machine has been plugged in for over 24hrs but still shows low battery information may not save, how do i fix this?
Below is a link to our wifi setup for the ibreeze. The battery question confuses me though. The iBreeze does not have an internal battery that I know of.
ruclips.net/video/kyFYh-0Xt1k/видео.html
I am not very savy on this can you pleased tell me ho to set the alarm clock?
Unfortunately I have never done that. I will see what I can find out.
I'm new on the mask that sits under my nose. And I put humidity on 6 because my nose burned. Then my mouth got so dry I couldn't sleep it was bad.
ruclips.net/video/P6gZJPss6vw/видео.html
Check out our dry mouth video. Should help. Link Above.
When you put water in the humidifier the the pre-heater is activated on the comfort setting, but how do you set that to be be on?
I believe that you have to manually turn it on each time you want to use it.
I just got mine and i can't sleep with it at all. If i have my mask on it's a loud noise in my head which i've never heard with another cpap before. The techincal assistence checked on it and told me it works fine. So is this noise normal?
I have not heard that before. Are you using the same mask on the iBreeze as your previous CPAP?
I noticed that too because I use earplugs. Its way louder in my head then the dreamstation i used.
how does it compare to the Airsense 10 ?? I was given the Ibreeze but was not told that I had other options ...
We have a video on that specifically. Link below.
ruclips.net/video/dd4cGJct49g/видео.html
So their site says it is smart and auto adjusts settings. Does it mean it is equivalent to an APAP?
Yes it is an APAP.
I just got it today but 1dt day of my 8th year old son how to shut down do we have to plug it out and my son is initial taking 6.5 but still bp isn't controlled still high what to do? Plz Plz it's a request let me know
Really sorry that you are having those issues. Unfortunately that is a question for the Dr that you are working with. Hopefully they can get it straightened out for you.
Can you use this machine without engaging the humidifier?
Yes you can run the iBreeze without humidification. You can turn the humidifier off and empty the water chamber. In fact if you leave the water chamber dry it will disable the humidifier on its own.
Does these units have the same or similar internal filter the the Philips Dream machine recall unit?
To my knowledge no. I am a DME provider and have been placing my on this unit and we have asked that question.
My machine doesn’t display a Wi-Fi section. My machine also isn’t collecting my data what do I need to do
It probably does not have the wifi modem built in to it in that case.
Can I disable "stop" the "ramp up" from turning on?There's way too much pressure when it turns on
Both me and my wife got the machines two days ago. Thankyou
Unfortunately the only option that you have is to use the Ramp Feature when you first start it up, and then again if you feel like it is ramping up too fast. Simply press the triangle button on top to reduce the pressure for a period of time.
in the comfort settings just turn ramp to 0.
When going to bathroom, do you disconnect mask only and leave it running or shut off and restart, for info on SD Card purposes on this unit?
I just disconnect the hose from the top of the mask - which is nice if you have a quick release - but mine has the rubber tube gripping the mask nozzle, so I learned quickly not to push that tube on so far that it becomes hard to get off. I turn the therapy button off when I get up, as I figure it will need to ramp me back up to get back to sleep afterwards anyway. Not sure about the SD Card impact - I imagine each therapy session is individually timestamped anyway, so a single night may well consist of multiple therapy sessions pieced together?
You should shut the CPAP off when you are not using it. If the Auto Off feature is enabled, then it may even turn itself off when you disconnect.
Hi wonder if you can tell me how to get into the DR level menu ? I've bought one privately here in the UK and I'd like to be able to play with the settings
We have a video that goes over the ibreeze Provider Menu here.
ruclips.net/video/_xbb9os3k2Y/видео.html
Is the Ibreeze compatible with the So Clean 3? Please let me know thank you
We have not started carrying the SoClean 3 yet. So once we get them in I can check it out.
Thank you for this great video!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for this video, I just got my machine.
Glad I could help!
I received this unit a few days ago. I'm a first time CPAP user and I'm not sure what to expect. I have not been able to fall asleep when using the device because all I can do is focus on my breathing and the breathing noises. It sounds like Darth Vader. With whirring or whistling noises... The unit sounds noisy. They provided me a Philips Respironics WISP Nasal Mask which I haven't been to thrilled with. Will a different Mask resolve these noise problems?
I different mask would be my first recommendation for sure. Usually the CPAPs are very quiet, and the noise is coming from a poor mask fit. So that would be my first recommendation.
Tell me how to get into clinical settings please. I bought mine off of eBay and the pressure setting is way too low.
ruclips.net/video/_xbb9os3k2Y/видео.html
I don't have the option of turning the ramp off. It just goes to 5 min even though I see the 0 unit. Why is that?
It is probably set that way in the clinical menu. Your provider will have to make that change for you unless you can access the clinical menu on that iBreeze CPAP.
I don't understand the IPR setting. If I want zero air blowing at me when I exhale, do I want 0 IPR or 3?
You wont be able to achieve zero air on exhalation, but if you want the very least amount, then you would change the IPR to 3. 3 is the max exhalation relief.
