Help! Airsense autoset stuck at 6!

[Cmk17]

It's early in the morning and my machine which is set at 6-20 won't go above 6! I feel like I am starving for air!!! I have been using this apap machine every single night since mid-August. Any idea on how to reboot it to get it to work again? I've had 3 hours of sleep and am miserable.

I use a new Resmed Airsense autoset 10 for her.

Hate to sound like the cable company but did you unplug it for a few minutes and then plug it back in?

[Cmk17]

I'm a techie -- so yes. A few reboots, checking all cables. I just reset my low to 10 so the machine is now stuck on 10. (Much better than 6 but not good.)

Are you sure you are in the Auto Mode?

Ramp off?

Even in the Auto mode, the machine won't increase pressure without reason like Snores, Flow Limitations, etc.

I'll bet it is set at CPAP with pressure fixed at 6....Go to Clinical manual and check to see that it is in AUTO mode

It is either broke. Or in the wrong mode. Or you have bad luck. Or someone else on here could answer that actually knows something more than me. Which wouldn't take much.

Check your mode of operation first. Have you read the manual?

If you are in cpap mode it won't move from whatever you set it at.
If you are in auto (apap) mode it won't move from whatever you set it at until apnea events start driving the pressure upwards. If a 6 cm starting point isn't comfortable then maybe try 7 cm.

Also....are you using ramp or exhale relief (EPR) as either one could also make the "can't breathe" feeling worse if the pressure is dropping below comfort levels?

Why not use the FREE software, so you can tell what's really going on. Most cars really do need a steering wheel. So does a XPAP machine. Jim

I use the A10 for Her. I think the problem is that your RAMP setting is at AUTO and you are not falling asleep at the lowest pressure setting, so the pressure never rises. I turned mine to off and APAP with a range of 10.6-20 works fine for me. If you need a lower pressure to go to sleep then you may want to set your RAMP setting to a short period (5-10 minutes). Make sure you feel you can breathe at the ramp pressure setting you choose. After the ramp period is over, then the pressure will go to the lowest pressure in your range even if you are not asleep.

I had the same problem when I first got my A10 and changing the ramp setting from AUTO to off solved the problem for me.

The A10 for Her also has settings for Auto and Auto for Her. Those settings should not cause the machine to stay at a fixed pressure. If the setting is on CPAP, then the machine should only have a setting for one pressure, not a minimum and maximum setting.

If you have been using the machine since August and didn't have this problem before, did you change any settings before this happened?

If your machine is set up (as most are unless you turn ON "Airplane Mode") to send information to the DME and Resmed, it is possible your DME remotely changed your settings. This could happen if you have changed settings after the DME set it up.

I hope this helps.
