How to Adjust the Air Flow on a REMstar Plus CPAP

Patients can make two kinds of air flow adjustments on the REMstar Pro CPAP. One is the amount of pressure relief the machine provides when you exhale. The other is the amount of pressure the machine drops to when you press the ramp button, which is the mechanism that allows the air flow to increase gradually. Your respiratory therapist will usually set these values when you first get your machine, but if you find CPAP therapy uncomfortable, you may benefit from adjusting these settings.
