[Electronics-Talk] accessible CPAP machine for sleep apnea

[Steve Jacobson]

If you are happy with what you have, I'm not trying to change your mind.  I'm also not saying that one can't get buy without an accessible CPAP machine.  I mentioned several other settings besides air flow that one might want to adjust such as whether you want the machine to "Ramp" up to full pressure, whether you want to have the machine start and stop based upon whether you are breathing into your mask, and also the level of humidity in addition to turning it on or off.  Especially if one is new to CPAP machines, you won't know immediately what your preferences might be.  One certainly would not need to change the air flow.  In some cases, you can get the technician to set some of these options for you when you get the machine, and if you need to change an option, you can have whomever does reading to help with it.  One can certainly get by.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I left something out.  The temperature for the water chamber is changed with the turning of the power button on my machine.  Sorry about that.

But I still don't understand why one would want to adjust the settings!  The sleep techs are the ones who know how much airflow is needed.

The last two CPAP machines we have had here has the humidifier as one of a number of options, and it is a lot trickier to set.  The chances are pretty good that when you need to replace yours that it won't be as simple to turn the humidifier on or off.  As I have described, there might be some options, but one needs to experiment to get a pattern down.  I have not checked to see if the apps that let you get your sleep results can change settings.
That might be another approach to this.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

That's how mine works.  If I want to warm the water in the tank, I turn it one way and it heats up.
That's why I'm wondering why one needs an accessible CPAC machine!  All of the calibrations are done by a sleep technician.

One doesn't exist that I know of, but mine has a raised control to turn it off and on, and the doctor programs the different air pressures he may need.

I am looking for any information on accessible CPAP machines as my partner was just diagnosed with sleep apnea. We would like to research it a little before requesting a certain model.

Best regards,
