pressure settings on Resmed Escape s8

From: mirkee on 19 Sep 2005 18:06 I have been on CPAP for 18 years now and very happy with it. I use my cpap every night of my life. I just came back from a two day fishing trip out of San Diego CA and took my cpap along. Two weeks ago I had a sleep study done. This was done because I wanted a newer machind and the insurance insisted that I have a new sleep study done. I had been using a pressure of 11 on my last machine but the new sleep study tech wrote on her report that I needed a pressure of 9. Now my wife tells me that I am snoring at a setting of 9. On the sleep study, the titrations stopped at nine and they never tried 10 or 11. On my old machine I used to be able to set my own pressure. Initially, the old sleep study called for 10 but I found that unsatisfactory (snoring) and I cranked it up to 11. I have been at 11 for over 5 years now. I want to be able to adjust the new machine on my own, like I used to do with the old one. If I am not able to, I'll just go back to the old machine which would be a shame since the new machine is so much smaller and quiter. I have been on CPAP a long time and I am quite responsible. My regular doctor will give a prescription stating that my pressure setting needs to be increased. Unfortunately, that entails another trip to the cpap people which is a pain in the neck. Can anyone here help? I saw the tech set the pressure and it seemed so simple. Thanks in advance, Mirko

To change the pressure setting, I have to get to the Clinical Menu, which is done by pressing two buttons simultaneously and holding them for a few seconds until the Clinical Menu appears. Then you can scroll through the Clinical Menu and make any necessary adjustments. You might try pressing two buttons and see if the Clinical Menu comes up. On the S7, the two buttons are the right-hand, red button that stops the air flow and the middle button with the down arrow on it.
