Nick From CPAP reviews takes a look at how to change the clinical settings on the philips dreamstation.
How to change pressure on your Dreamstation -
Accessing Provider mode unlocks settings that cannot be modified by the user. To access Provider mode:1. Supply power to the device. First, plug the socket end of the AC power cord into the power supply. Then plug the pronged end of the AC power cord into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch. Finally, plug the powersupply cord's connector into the power inlet on the back of the device.
2. Once the device is powered, press and hold both the control dial and the Ramp button for around 5 seconds.
Therapy Settings - Choosing this screen will take you to a sub-menu where you can adjust the device therapy modes and pressure settings. These settings are described here.
Opti-Start- This feature starts an Auto-CPAP therapy session at a starting pressure that is closer to the previous session's 90% pressure, in order to reduce the likelihood of any residual events at the beginning of a therapy session. You can enable or disable this feature. - Навчання та стиль

@@CPAPReviews I have, thank you.
Having been locked out of all the comfort features by my clinic, this video is brilliant as I've now access to flex and mask fit. So THANK YOU 😊
Hi there, thanks for the kind words. Yep, that's exactly why i made the series. Most welcome :)
I had the same experience! It was like they were trying to explode my lungs with the absurdly high pressure. First I was lent the machine by my provider to try out for a week, smart ramp enabled, and it worked perfectly - zero apnea. But when they gave me the machine after my insurers agreed to pay for it, smart ramp was disabled and the pressure fixed at 13. Loony! This video has allowed me to take control myself! Ten thousand thanks to Nick for this vid!

Haha my clibic said NOOOO, to! Thanks my leaks are really gone.
This video series was so absolutely, amazingly helpful to me. I was basically handed the CPAP, etc. and a booklet then patted on the fanny and wished good luck! No detail from my respiratory therapist nor from my doctor. This is so helpful. Can't wait to check/adjust my settings.
Hey Dennis, welcome to the channel brother and thanks for the kind words. Glad you found the series useful and good luck adjusting those settings ;-). If you wish to venture a little further down the rabbit hole then check out my vid on fine tuning your pressure levels - ua-cam.com/video/pL4egwDrvbg/v-deo.html .

@@CPAPReviews Would that be because of the recalls or some other reason?
Thank you SO much. Since the Dr office closed 5 years ago I haven't had any help or adjustments. This is a life saver.
Just received a replacement cpap for my Philips recall. I have a Philips system 1. I got a brand new dream station one as a replacement. I just watched your 3 videos which made it really easy to set up. It’s my first auto machine. 1st tonight. Thanks for the help with set up
Thank you so much! I have had my DreamStation for 3 months, and this was very helpful! I appreciated the information about the R factor, and was able to make the appropriate adjustment, as recently switched to a nasal mask.

Excellent video ! Just got mine 3 days ago , I noticed the pressure ramp up and wake me up so I need a 7 day average and change the settings ! Without going back to the hospital!
Great information thanks
Hi Andre, appreciate the kind words mate. Yep i would be looking at your 90th percentile pressure and using that value as good place to set your AUTO MAX level. You can use your average pressure as a bit of a guide to put your AUTO MIN level. I normally the auto min level a couple of levels lower than the average :-). Have a great day
Thank you so much for talking the time for making this in-depth review. Hopefully I can now play with my settings and finally have some quality sleep.
Cheers Heath, all the best mate

Thank you so much for your videos. I’ve been using the machine for a little over a year. I’m on my fifth CPAP so I’m not new to sleep apnea. Find a new machine very practical in its use and very versatile and its applications. Your videos explain things in very good detail. My medical provider never gave me anything close to this in explanation of what my machine can do. Thank you again for taking time to make these videos

I have had this for a month with very POOR training. Still lost... After looking for tutorials online I finally found you. I can't thank you enough for this set of 3 tutorials that are developed with organization, simplicity yet detailed, paced, & instructive. Nothing on the web (including the company's info) comes close to these videos. I will give the URLs to my Dr. &, hopefully, he will pass these on. Thank you again.

Nice one mate. Just making sure you know that's a recalled device though yeah? Toxic foam! Cheers

Edit: I've lost a lot of weight since I got my Dream Station, and I think that has changed the settings I need. I've been getting a lot of noisy leaks and a strange thing where (with a nose-only mask) the air is forced into my mouth and makes a noise like snoring. My wife was very unhappy.
Using this video, I set the auto-max to the 90% level (3 less than it was set on originally) and the problem is solved!
Good sleep plus peace and quiet!!!!!
Thanks for your brilliant videos!
Excellent presentation of a mode that some providers like to hide from their customers.
The ability to adjust the CPAP pressure down, even in fixed mode allowed me to actually get a better nights sleep by not being disturbed so much, and my AHI dropped as well. May not work for everyone of course.
Thanks Ray :)

So, 3 1/2 years ago I was fitted with this machine…kinda…they stuck it on my face and said looks good, off you go! I didn’t know squat about the machine, it’s capabilities or menu. I also found sleeping with it a nightly wrestling match and of no benefit resting or waking refreshed, etc. I felt like CRAP! Then I discovered this video series… Ive adjusted all the necessary settings and am actually looking forward to experiencing some positive results for a change! Thanks for putting to this series together for all the tortured souls out there!
Thank you so much for these videos because I have the same machine and I have changed the chamber with the video that you shared a year ago and this video given me the information I was looking for to change my settings and pressure on my machine. 🙏👍
Great tutorial, thanks so much, it helps understanding what and how to do! Just got my machine after a month on a trial and am going to use it for the first time tonight.

Getting one of these tomorrow, and am so excited to start my therapy!
I already know what my settings are from my old machine, and can't wait for this machine to hopefully improve my sleep.
G'day brother! That's awesome. Let me know how you find it. Have a great day and cheers for your comment!
@@CPAPReviews Got it 3 days ago, and I'm over the moon!
It replaced a Respronics System 1, that was on its last leg. While a good unit for its time, the Dream Station blows it out of the water!
Thanks to your video, setup was a breeze!
My original setup was 14 max pressure, so I set this at 15 max, just to give it a little headroom.
I had the min set at 5, but raised it to 6, because it was just too low, and had me feeling a little claustrophobic, but 6 is perfect!
Set to auto, it just works! When it comes on, it's so quiet, I thought it wasn't working, LOL!
It's so nice to go to sleep, and let this machine just do its magic.
3 nights in, I haven't felt this well rested in years!
I got this without a prescription, because I just didn't want the hassle of telling my Dr, going through another *#&@ sleep study, just to have them tell me what machine I'm going to use.
I've done a ton of research, and thanks to your informative videos, decided on the Dream Station, and am so glad I did!
I've even downloaded the app that goes with this system, and now am more informed than ever before!
The insights into my sleep cycles will make tweaking the settings in the future more accurate than a Dr ever will.
I might even buy a second one, and store it as a backup, LOL!
Please stop using your dreamstation and speak with your doctor. Thank you - ua-cam.com/video/kFxtA3y1ucQ/v-deo.html
God Bless You! They only tell you how to turn Dreamstation on and off when you pick it up! I am most grateful indeed for your videos!

Yo thank you so much mate, I always thought only my Doc could access all that stuff. You have literally made my life better!!!
Thank you so much for posting this video. It is very helpful. I tend to like to tweak things and this give me enough confidence to begin to mess with the settings on my new DreamStation auto. My starting pressure is way too low (4) and being able to increase the minimum pressure lets me get to proper pressure quicker, which is good.

There is only one advocate for my good health......me! I had made two clinical adjustments to my CPAP, which has truly made it a ‘dream machine’, thanks to you. Thank you for these videos, I have made them part of my “watch later”, so I will always have them to refer to.
Hi John! Love it mate and so true. Glad i was able to your 'dream machine' and you're very welcome. Cheers mate. Nicko
CPAP Reviews, I apologize for not giving you all of the credit, for my new found love of the ‘Dream Machine’. We need more clear cut advice, on medical equipment for at home use to make for a better life. Your honesty and medical precautions are essential if the end effect of this kind of home medical equipment is to be successful. Thanks again!
I got one of these to use in a new sleep study. I came without the water tank 🤬🤬 so there's nothing I can about humidity levels and the like, BUT, this video helped me figure out how to adjust the pressure and how to turn off the Opti start. That was a huge source of discomfort last night. Thanks Nicko!
My first two nights with my DreamStation I felt like I got shot in the head. Dry sinuses. Headaches. Bloody nose.
Your video is a lifesaver.

How do you not know that your doctor isn't altering the settings to force you to schedule an appointment?
These so called doctors, are going to be a thing of the past here shortly ! All they are concerned with is getting more patients and billing the insurance companies ! They have so many patients, that they cannot or will not take the time to actually set down with you and explain the machines capabilities and the process ! They then hire these younger inexperienced interns to see you on their behalf because they are sooo busy. Now they can bill more insurance companies and make more money ! They say that they are so booked up that you can't get an appointment for 3-6 mos out. This is bullshit ! And why is it when you schedule an appointment to arrive there on time and then you're forced to sit in a waiting room with sick people for two hours waiting to see the Dr. ! Do you all see where this is going ? They don't want you resting well and not scheduling appointments. Instead of your doctor telling you that you can do exercises with your throat and tongue to alleviate the sleep apnea, they sell you an expensive machine, set it up improperly from their office, just to keep you tire, exhausted and returning to see them ! I'm turning off the Bluetooth on my machine ! I no longer want my Dr to be able to change the settings from the comfort of their office ! I will monitor my own perimeters until I get my machine dialed in perfect ! When my hypoxnea level rises from the paltry 2 where it is now back up to 4 I plan on removing the oxygen!
Last time I went to my doctor. I told them I was falling asleep during the day. They said it was from oxygen deprivation? It wasn't from oxygen deprivation, it was because of sleep deprivation ! My Dr told me just like all of yours did, don't worry about the settings, we control that here. All at once my machine started getting hot in the humidifier? To the point where it started using more water every night ! I went and looked. Imagine that! The settings have miraculously been changed ? But how could that happen ? Easily done with Bluetooth from their office ! I haven't slept well since before 2020 ! I'm considering a malpractice lawsuit !
Fantastic video....the best available ! Great job!
Cheers Walter

Very good info. I was given this CPAP device with only a very brief explanation. Thank you for helping me to understand how it works and how to adjust the settings. Also, I was able to learn about the device at a time that was convenient for me.

Great to hear Will, glad you enjoyed it 😉
@@CPAPReviewsAt most i would get 2- 4 hours at night before i would "swat it off" my head at night. BUT now after watching your video, I was able to get 7.4 hours last night! Thank again and keep up the good work. It was a game changer.

I have been Philips web site and my unit is on the recall list. I filled out the paperwork and the reply was "This could take some time"
Brilliant---Easy to follow---thanks Nick
That’s my machine. After your video yesterday. I went through my info. Thank you from CA

Thanks, this was helpful. When I got this unit the technician set the air pressure to a lower value than I had been using for years, basically making it unusable to me. Now that I know how to adjust it myself I can use it without jumping through the VA hoops.
Thanks Ron. Hope it helps

I've been using my Dream Station for about 5 years. That's long enough that my insurance will pay for a new machine, but there don't seem to be any new machines available. Supplier is telling me that they don't expect to see any new machines until at least late September.
(I have registered my machine on the recall website.)
But as a practical matter I think that if I've been using the recalled machine for 5 years, another month or two probably isn't going to make much difference. If it's going to poison me, it likely already has.
Hi Scott, i think you're right mate, a few more months are probably not going to make too much of a difference. Cheers brother. Good luck. Nicko
@@CPAPReviews For what it's worth, I've never used an ozone cleaner on the machine, the the foam is probably not disintegrating.
Bonjour. Je viens de découvrir votre chaîne. Elle est riche d'informations. Merci. Je ne maîtrise pas couramment l'anglais, mais je comprends les différents conseils que vous nous délivrez. Grâce à votre alarme, je viens de contacter Philips Belgique pour le problème des mousses cancérigènes. Bravo et merci encore.
Hello. I just discovered your channel. She is full of information. Thank you. I'm not fluent in English, but I understand the different advice you give us. Thanks to your alarm, I have just contacted Philips Belgium for the problem of carcinogenic foams. Bravo and thank you again.
This is excellent. Thank you so much.
Thanks Nick this was so easy to understand why they can't tell us this , OH! wait a minute they don't want us to know! So they got us under their thumb, I fixed my dreamstation one does not have the foam anymore works great
HI Randy, you're welcome and yes you are correct. Knowledge is power. Best wishes. Nick

Thank goodness I found this. Just unwrapped my new Dreamstation and what a terrific way to learn the basics. These videos will be my "go to" whenever I want to check or reset the settings. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this.

Thank you so much fo your very helpful videos.
Thanks for all the effort you have put into this series. I watched them all and thumbs upped them as appropriate. The tutorials are far more helpful than the manuals as they are quite comprehensive and easy to understand. Although I'd consider myself reasonably advanced in my knowledge of CPAP machines and technology in general, I did pick up one or two helpful hints so it was time well spent, even for an advanced user. I just upgraded to one of these machines (an auto one) and I am delighted with it. You have helped me tweak it even further for which I am grateful. :-)
Hi John, thanks for the kind words. Glad you found them useful. Best wishes with your therapy.
I agree! So much better than trying to figure everything out from the manuals.
