How to Set the Pressure on a PR System One Remstar CPAP Machine & Humidifier

The PR System One RemStar is a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine and humidifier. This model allows patients to position the machine anywhere around them at any angle and still receive the treatment due to the 360-degree swivel airway port. It also has a dim LED light so the patient is not awakened during sleep if the machine is placed directly at the head. The PR System One has an easy control knob so the pressure and other settings can be adjusted at any time after discussion with your doctor or respiratory therapist.

Instructions

• 1

  Obtain the PR One RemStar CPAP machine and humidifier and disconnect the airway circuit hose from the top swivel port.

  Choose the correct quadrant on the LCD screen labeled setup.

  Turn on the machine and select the appropriate quadrant by turning the knob. Choose "Setup."

  The arrow key and the knob must be pressed simultaneously for the next menu to display.

  Press the "Arrow" key and knob together until the CPAP machine beeps two times. This will take you to a second menu.

  Continuous pressure is key to preventing different types of apnea.

  Scroll down with the knob and select the appropriate option. Press the knob to activate this option to adjust the pressures. If it is a bi-level machine, there will be IPAP and EPAP. IPAP will be the option to adjust to change pressure.
