How to Set a C-Flex on a REMstar CPAP

Sleep apnea sufferers get a lot of relief with the use of a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine, which pumps air directly into the respiratory system of the wearer. It must be prescribed by a doctor. Machines with C-Flex technology self-adjust to provide less air pressure during exhalation. Many of the machine's settings are preset and will not need to be adjusted by the wearer, but you can change the C-Flex setting.

Things You'll Need

• REMstar CPAP machine

Instructions

1. Check to ensure the machine is plugged in and in the "on" position. The airflow should not be on.

2. Press and hold the "ramp" button until you hear a beep to adjust the machine's settings.

3. Press the "next" or "previous" buttons to adjust the "C-Flex" number that appears on the LCD screen. The "1" setting provides the least air pressure possible. Setting "2" delivers more, and "3" the most.

4. Exit the setting by pressing the "on" and "off" button one time.
