REMstar Plus with C-Flex User Manual
Pressing the ramp button will reduce the air pressure when you are
trying to fall asleep. The air pressure will gradually increase until your
prescription pressure is reached. If your physician prescribed ramp for
you, pressing the button will reduce the pressure and then gradually
increase (ramp) the pressure to the therapeutic pressure setting so that
you can fall asleep more comfortably. Note: The ramp feature is not
prescribed for all users.
3. Press the Ramp button on the top of the
REMstar Plus with C-Flex. You can use
the Ramp button as often as you wish
during the night.
4. Remove the mask and headgear. Press the
pressure start/stop button on the top of the
REMstar Plus with C-Flex to start the
airflow.
Or, if the patient disconnect alert setting
has been turned on, the airflow will
automatically turn off. When you remove
the mask, the airflow will decrease to a
low pressure. After approximately 45
seconds the alert tone will sound. Then
the airflow will automatically turn off
(in less than 2 minutes after you remove
the mask).
The humidifier button is active only when a REMstar Heated
Humidifier is connected or when the REMstar Plus with
C-Flex is in the Setup Menu. Refer to the REMstar Heated
Humidifier's instructions for additional information.
• If the alert tone sounds, press any button on the REMstar Plus with
C-Flex to silence the alert tone. Refer to the "Troubleshooting" section
of the manual for further instructions.
• Make sure that bedding, curtains, or other items are not blocking the
filter or vents of the REMstar Plus with C-Flex. Air must flow freely
around the REMstar Plus with C-Flex for the system to work properly.
• If the airflow from the REMstar Plus with C-Flex feels cold, reposition
the circuit tubing so that it runs under your bed covers to reduce heat loss
while you sleep.
