How to Adjust a Rem-Star CPAP

It causes them to stop breathing periodically while they sleep. Your doctor will prescribe a specific CPAP setting to suit your individual needs. It's best not to use a different setting other than the one prescribed. If your doctor approves your changing the setting on your CPAP, use the buttons near the display to adjust the air pressure.
