How to Adjust the Pressure On a Sleep Style 600 CPAP

Sleep apnea is a disorder causing breathing to stop during sleep. Sleep apnea has been linked to higher incidences of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack and stroke, as well as obesity. For many sleep apnea sufferers, one solution may be a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. The CPAP delivers air at a constant pressure through a mask over the mouth and nose, or just the nose, to keep the individual's airway open, allowing for uninterrupted breathing. Adjusting the air pressure on the SleepStyle 600 CPAP machine take just a few moments.

Instructions

• 1

  Turn on the machine and fit your CPAP mask as you normally do.

• 2

  Press the "Mode" button on the control panel on the top front of the SleepStyle 600. The "Mode" button resembles a triangle pointing to the right. Press this button continuously until the air-pressure symbol --- "cmH2O" --- appears.

• 3

  Press the "Up" button --- an upward-pointing triangle --- on the control panel to increase the air pressure.

• 4

  Press the "Down" button --- the downward-pointing triangle --- to decrease the air pressure.
