Thanks Rock.
I have a question but please keep it simple -- remember I have OSA and all the brain cells are not working LOL.
I recently was able to purchase a PR System1 Auto Bipap with BiFlex with 0 hours on it. I jumped on it and have been using it for a week now.
Since my auto was set for a pressure range of 9 to 15 I set the bipap Ipap at 15 and Epap at 10 with a PS of 5. I like the way it works and the first few nights had good data (haven't checked the last 2 days yet).
Can you explain how in auto bipap this works with the pressure settings I have?

On that setting your machine would always be at 15/11. That would mean that you will always inhale at 15cmwp and exhale against 11cm. The way you have it set up locks it in at a straight bpap pressure. If the pressure support was set to 4 then it would fluctuate between 13/9cm and 15/11cm.

How do I use the auto feature? What should it be set at?

Technically that is a question for your doc. Just changing the PS to 4 would put into a true auto-mode.

I take 1000mg of vitamin D a day. I have also changed my diet to a majority of raw food and vegetables. I feel 100% better and have been able to los and keep off about 15 ilbs. If my schedule were more conducive to a workout regime I would be doing even better.
I have good days and bad days with the smoking.
