What is the difference between C-flex and a flex on a CPAP machine?

C-Flex lowers the pressure on exhale and quickly ramps back up to the prescribed pressure. A-Flex, available on Auto CPAP machines only, lowers the pressure on exhale and gradually increases the pressure during inhale. This allows for a more fluid breath. ResMed uses EPR for pressure relief.

What is C-flex on CPAP?

C-Flex is a comfort feature you will find on Respironics CPAP machines. This feature decreases the pressure when you exhale. The clinician will set C-Flex before you get your machine, but you will have the option to adjust the pressure relief to meet your needs.

Should I stop using my CPAP machine because of recall?

If you’re using one of the machines that has been recalled by the FDA, you might think that you need to immediately stop using it, but that might not be helpful for your sleep apnea. As advised by the FDA, you shouldn’t stop using your CPAP device just because it’s listed in the recall.

What happens to CPAP when power goes out?

Susie: In a power outage, your CPAP simply shuts off. The machine can only plug into the wall or a battery, not both at the same time. So to use the battery, you have to manually unplug the CPAP from the wall outlet and into your battery. Oftentimes, a power outage will wake you up.

How do you change the pressure on a Respironics REMstar Plus C-Flex?

Press the central knob once to enter the program. Turn the dial to highlight “IPAP.” This setting relates to the inhalation pressure. To change it, press the central knob once, turn the dial to adjust the setting to the required value, then press the central knob again to save it.
