Resmed S8 Escape programing

[leswaller]

Does anyone know how to access the programing menus on the S8 Escape. I am just cusrious to see what pressure mine is set at.
Also mine appears to increase the pressure in the middle of the night, is this possible?

[James @ Intus]

On ResMed's machines, the pressure is shown as a sequence of dashes. From the manual (at least when ramping has been enabled):

When ramping begins the LCD will display the word "RAMPING", with the current pressure indicated as dashes. Each dash is approximately equivalent to 2 cm H2O. For example, six dashes represents approximately 12 cm H2O pressure.

I don't think that machine should be changing its pressure.

Thanks James, I will check this out on my machine. I have been told that some machines can be programed to give different pressures at different times, I just wondered if the S8 was one of these as I am pretty certain it blows harder about 4 hours after startin, but then seems to calm down again

Hi Les,
I also have the S8 and it certainly doesn't change once its set. only time you get a different air pressure is when its 'ramping'

If you still having problems or want to know anything else I can look it up on my one for you.

Have fun, Jon...

Hi Jon
It is not a problem, it was just my perception that it was happening. However I am told the machine is incapable of doing this so I must have been imagining things. It can't be the ramp as I have that set at 5 mins
