The Remstar Pro2 machine is a kind of CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) machine that c an be used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. This machine (as well as all other CPAP devices) pumps a gentle but steady flow of air throughout the night which keeps the airway from collapsing. The Remstar Pro2 machine comes preset with a program that it uses to determine how much air to provide as well as a setting which causes it to move up to its maximum pressure gradually. The instructions for changing this program are not included in the user's manual, which can make it difficult to change the settings without taking the device to your physician or technician.
Step 1
Unplug your Remstar Pro2 machine. According to the Setup manual published by Respironics, the machine can only be programmed while in therapy mode. To get into this mode, you need to begin with the machine being unplugged.
Step 2
Hold down the two user buttons (these are on top of the machine and are shaped like two triangles, one pointing to the right and one to the left) while you plug the machine back into a wall socket. Keep holding down these buttons until the machine beeps.
Step 3
Scroll through the therapy mode menu using the left and right user buttons to view the different settings. According to the Respironics Manual, from this menu you will be able to see for how many nights the machine has been used for more than four hours as well as make changes to the maximum and minimum air pressures. You can also change the amount of time it takes for the machine to ramp up to full pressure as well as what pressure the machine provides when it is turned on and beginning its program. You can scroll through the different settings by pressing the left and right user buttons.
Step 4
Change the settings that you would like to alter by pressing the "Heat" and "Ramp" buttons to change the values for the setting which is displayed on the screen.
Step 5
Press the "Start/Stop" button to exit therapy mode.
