Changing Pressure and Settings of Dreamstation Go: Clinicians Menu HACK!!!

[@markdelange7120]

You helped me save a 89 year old woman with Covid-19 she could not get a bed so her daughter a Nerse called me not knowing how to set this machine to save her mom. O2 sats were in the 70s. I’ve got her on apap 7.5-14 full face F20 Thank you us renegades save live.

[@ginahall5727]

Told my Doc ( pulmonologist) that my machine wasn't giving me enough pressure and was not helping. I asked if he could give me a range like my hubby had gotten from his therapist. This way I could get the added pressure when needed. He basically told me that I know nothing, the sleep study (done for only one night)came up with a number(9) for a reason and he will not change anything. I went home, looked up how to set a range of pressure and changed it to 9-12. Well the 30 day average is showing 10.5. I sleep so much better and don't feel like I am suffocating. Not once did I yank the mask off to "get air". I am done with this dr. This industry and how they do things needs much improvement. Glad you are open enough to see and admit that there are idiots out there. Thanks for your validation, and thanks for your help.

[@jillfoster9096]

This helped me so much! Thank you. My Dreamstation Go was not set to my machine I normally use, and it was blowing my face off! Your quick tutorial helped me to set the Go machine for my trip, in just a few seconds. Thanks so much!

[@susanwilson3352]

I ordered a DreamStation Go from an online CPAP store so that I could take it on an overseas trip. Pressure was supposed to be 6; but it arrived set at 10. I didn't know this until I tried the machine. Loved how quiet it was but and after 10 minutes, I felt like my lungs were going to explode. After watching your instructions several times, I quickly changed the pressure setting back to 6. THANK YOU. You saved me a lot of hassle...

[@Liam69400]

I am really taken back by all of the frustration here! I started a company almost 20 years ago and am an RRT, as well as some of the other commenters. At my company, ALL of my CPAP patients are given my cell phone for any problems and can call it at any time. If they say a practitioner wanted a change of pressure, I would call the practitioner and arrange for it for the patient. I would NEVER leave the patient in a lurch!! There are some good providers out there who put the patient first! At my company, half of our meeting time is me explaining what sleep apnea is and how CPAP will help change their lives. I am always available for questions. I apologize for my colleagues out there who have obviously not been patient advocates! There is no excuse for treating patients that way!

[@bryangilleland4430]

Thank you so much. My doctor prescribed a fixed setting for my new Dreamstation Go Auto that was too high when my regular Dreamstation had auto high and low settings. I called the online retailer who sold me the unit, and they referred me to your videos to make my own adjustments. It was a breeze. I had visions of 50 phone calls to my doctor and sending the unit back to the retailer for adjustments. While I can’t afford the chandelier on Amazon, I’ll definitely consider making you my Amazon Smile charity!

[@khoardTubeYou]

After 2 years on CPAP my AHIs started to climb and began getting that crappy feeling. Watched your channel and switched my Dreamstation to Auto 8-10cm (from 8cm) after looking at my OSCAR data. AHIs went back down and immediately felt better. When I went in for my annual check in with the sleep doctor I told him what I did and he said (great!) if that’s working he’ll write that as my new prescription. I asked him about folks getting snippy with adjusting my own pressure he laughed and said that we’re not changing chemotherapy drugs here, just breathing. The ladies down at the equipment shop blew up my phone for a week insisting I bring in my machine after the prescription change, but eventually they stopped calling. Just hope they didn’t put me on some blacklist when it comes time for new parts.

[@Freecpapadvice]

😂 For sure! We're not doing rocket surgery here!

[@BrianKAllen-hl9fo]

Thank you so much! I've been moving a lot and have seen three different "sleep doctors" in the last 2 years. Because I've been moving I've had to start the process over every time and it never gets finished because it takes forever to get through each doctors monotonous and time consuming process. I'm sure this is just to increase their fees. Kaiser charged me over a thousand dollars to tell me what I already knew for just one appointment this last time. Luckily they gave me the revised pressure settings eventually but wanted to charge me another $2k to go through more appointments before they fixed what was wrong. Now I can do this myself. Thank you so much again!

[@ToneKing-rn7ui]

I had two Dreamstations and a Dreamstation Go. It has taken three years, it seems, but they have replaced the two and finally the Go model. Of course they dragged their feet on the Go model because I have been using CPAP for twenty years and they kept telling me I had to provide my prescription. They finally sent me one set at 4-20 auto, which was impossible to use. Using your instruction I was able to set it to 10, which is where my other machines are set. Thank you! Incidentally, neither of my "desktop" machines showed foam deterioration, but the Go machine filter, which I used infrequently for travel, was loaded with black foam particles. I never used ozone or UV cleaners, so they definitely had a foam deterioration problem. I only wish the new Dreamstations were as small as the originals.

[@klinspatrick]

i'm using this device for more than 3 yrs and suffering eyes dry and pain, and i was luck to replace (due recalling filter issue) with F & P style for almost a year. im going to buy a new one for F & P, but very glad to see yr tips to set this so private setting even the shop or man didnt know! Thanks a lots.

[@katierussell3328]

My husband was sent a dreamstation by the VA last week, no instructions. I have a good understanding of medical terminology, quickly pick up on how things work, what settings to watch for, etc., so I went to KZbin(I am not a nurse or anything, just grew up and been around medical equipment and Doctors a ton with my parents) Watched a few videos, and set his settings. He took to the cpap very well, and his ahi averaged .6-1, highest was 2.6 that first night when figuring out settings for him and mask fit. I noticed he has been having a harder time with it the last 2 nights, and tonight I saw his current pressure was higher than the max he had averaged the past week. Checked settings, and they were far different, and his ahi are also far higher! Noticed they were changed Monday morning. Just changed settings again, and turned off the modem on it, and now he is sleeping peacefully, and breathing well. Seriously he was making it 20 minutes before he'd take it off tonight, and slept half of last night with it off, until I changed settings back tonight. Now it's the longest stretch of sleep he's had since Sunday. I feel there is a big difference in the Doctor remotely changing things based on the data they see(especially since he kept taking it off), vs me laying next to him all night, able to adjust and find baselines, as he adjusts to a cpap overall. They were putting high minimum pressure(higher than what the machine would even automatically go to) and no ramp time, but seems a low pressure and medium ramp time works best so far. No wonder he kept taking it off the last 2 nights, and saying he felt worse than the first few nights on it! I'm used to being up all night with him, making him move and change position for the constant apnea spells, can't wait for this all to settle, so I can finally sleep again, too! It's been years!

[@kimberlys4075]

You are wonderful. I am a Clinical Sleep Educator and I often refer to your videos for help when I am stuck. Thank you!

[@Freecpapadvice]

Thanks Kimberly!

[@MichaelLuloh]

Thanks, mine arrived with pressure way too high from the CPAP store. Your video is just what I needed.

[@Shawamaroo]

Changing my pressure by calling the Sleep clinic is such a hassle. Thanks for the help! I now sleep better!

[@ChristmasEve777]

Sounds like you've done that in the past - called a clinic and had them talk you through it. I'm actually surprised they told you and didn't make you go in. They think we're all idiots and we can't do it ourselves.

[@rjasonw74]

I’m so happy I found this channel! Your videos are hilarious but very informative. I’ve been on CPAP therapy for over 10 years & it’s been a struggle dealing with the sleep clinic in my area & the device suppliers. My pulmonologist is exactly the type you’re describing who thinks a patient can’t have any control over their own therapy. He’s very specific about what he’ll let you order & from what supplier. I’ve actually seen him threaten another medical practitioner (my family doctor) for writing a scrip allowing patients to order a new CPAP machine! It’s nuts. I don’t understand why they’ve made this so difficult to get the necessary supplies we need. And now that I’m replacing an older machine I’m having to jump thru the hoops again. I’m paying fully out of pocket for it which is fine by me due to the crazy high deductible. Unfortunately he’s who I’m stuck with & as a truck driver time isn’t on my side when I’m home to deal with too many pressing demands before work has me moving again. It sure would be nice if they would allow us more freedom to manage our own healthcare. By the way I’m buying the Dreamstation Go after having some very tense mouthy exchanges with the doctor. Like I said he’s a very protective fellow with his preferred brands & equipment. Anyway... subscribed & thanks👍🏼

[@Freecpapadvice]

You're welcome. Sorry to hear that you're stuck with a "Richard" physician. Those micro managers drive me nuts. The Dreamstaion Go is extremely versatile. At home or on the road.... Nice choice. Thank you for subscribing. I also thank you for your work as a truck driver. Without you and your peers this country doesn't function.

[@rjasonw74]

And without people like you, my wife who’s an RN, BSN working in an ICU & other healthcare professionals nobody functions. So thank you as well! Side note its your product reviews that helped me settle on the DreamStation Go. I was pretty settled on wanting something portable that could go with me on the road 4 nights a week & back home without too many complications & this seemed to be the one for me. Your review helped solidify that in my mind. Arguing with the doc was just part of the process I’ve had to deal with for the last 10+ years so I expected it. The more involved explanations you gave on the ResMed AirMini - which he is a big fan of by the way - also made its limitations deal breakers for me. I especially don’t want to breathe thru a wet sock!

[@mickredland6399]

Thanks so much for “the Secret”! It’s been a big help in setting up my internet purchase. You’re like a “Right-To-Repair” advocate, but for CPAP users! Keep doing the devil’s work - we luv ya!

[@tomhoffman4284]

I ordered my Dreamstation go from online retailer. I used my PCP for the prescription and explained what my settings needed to be which he did write on the prescription. When I received my CPAP machine the settings were nowhere near what was on the prescription. Sure it was useable even though the pressure was 6 and it should have been 10 and it started with 30 minute ramp when I told them to turn the ramp feature off. My nights would have started with me starving for air had I not found your you tube video. I was able to adjust the air to 8 and shut off the ramp. Since it’s a auto CPAP, it immediately will adjust up to what I require. Thanks for your video!

[@mattcollins4550]

Doc said it needed to be set with a slightly higher ceiling so I call the vendor to ask them how and they tell me it takes a prescription from the doc in order to tell me how to change my own settings on my own machine. So I hung up on them and will never buy from them again. Instead, found this video, thank you very much!

[@dirkr6825]

Thanks man. This helps a lot!! This saved me lots of money and time. The fact that I can't monitor my own sleep settings drives me nuts. These machines can record all sleep parameters and can tell you if you are not sleeping well. And you will feel if you are not sleeping well. When I had my first sleep study, in a sleep lab, it was nuts. When I went for a second CPAP machine, the DR wanted a second sleep lab, I refused. They then said the CPAP machine could send my sleep data in with an adapter by cell phone! I slept with it for a week and they set the pressure remotely. All they wanted was my money. I have since bought a Dreamstation for travel and they wanted more money for setup. BS! Your video saved me a lot of money! Thanks!!

[@Cathy.C.]

Thanks, very helpful! Just got my remediated DS Go back from my DME. Lucked into a brand new one but manufactured in 2021 but never sold, just remediated.

[@JavierRodriguez-mu7oy]

Im a RT and trust me i get it. Made me laugh. Im not allowed to say how to change the settings its company policies. But i always tell them look it up on youtube at your own risk. Its true the sleep setting are almost never right but im not allowed to change the settings for them without doctors order.

[@JS-ri4tn]

Lots of factual information and great intentions! 😄 One thing I do want to draw attention to is if you have been on Auto PAP settings from 5-20cmH20 for several months and are not finding improvement of your symptoms, you should get further evaluated at your sleep center for possible BIPAP (Bilevel) will be needed versus a CPAP machine! Sidenote: not respiratory therapist, I am a Sleep Technologist 10+ years in!

[@CaptainCharleston]

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I won't bore you with the the horror stories regarding other respiratory therapist. Amazing work!

[@humu76]

My CPAP machine is on the recall list. I registered with Phillips, but have not heard back from them. The company I purchased the machine from said to use a "bacteria filter" (which I ordered). After installing it, my pressure dropped. Your video helped me find the pressure adjustment which I would have never found otherwise. Thank you.

[@johnmackniskas891]

You saved me a ton of money. I had to do this to my first machine and was hoping there was a hack for my new one. So, thank you.

[@FlipMacz]

I have received ZERO help from my RT for any occasional questions I may have. Without this channel, my quality of life would be diminished notably.

[@thomaswittick]

Ordered the Dreamstation go and of course it didn't come with the settings as described in my prescription despite having to send the document to the DME provider. Thanks for your help!

[@hallmt]

I’m NEVER going in, I know I won’t sleep, especially now with COVID. You sir, are doing gods work.

[@TaylorONeal]

Thanks!! I used this to change with my doctor's approval. Covid times so the check in was virtual and this helped me avoid a hospital visit.

[@chrissmith8041]

I've been on CPAP Therapy for over 15 years and figured out how to change the settings on my first CPAP. I brought this to my Dr's attention and since then he has been kind enough to add showing me how to change the settings on my CPAP to my prescriptions moving forward. This really makes the Resp Therapists scratch their heads and fight with me. That said, I bought this travel model on-line and haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks for the video and for making me chuckle. Changing pressure really does seem to be some big secret that requires additional Dr visits and ridiculousness... Prescriptions for air pressure??...Bah!.... Cheers!

[@cuttingedgeentertainmentan9097]

Fantastic information . My PC DOC was wonderful , but the sleep docs were awful and I had to do this diy . My Dream Station seems to strong , so I am going to switch tubes and see if that works . My home CPPA is set on 3.5 . The Dream Station is set at 4.0 . Not sure why the difference effects me in a different way . I don't see to get a restful sleep . Also , dose the dream station come with a battery ? I thought it did . Thanks again

[@DavidJMV61]

Just bought the humidifier for the Dreamstation Go. One question---after doing the update to the main unit--before hooking up the humidifier--do you leave the card in the machine?? Doesn't say to remove it after. Or does it not make a difference??

[@danielvanmeter3396]

Thanks dude, you saved me time. I originally had my physician send an e script for my DreamStation Go which I purchased online yet after confirming the 18 setting the dude kept telling me it was too high and I received it with a 12 setting. While traveling I did not get the best sleep. I am about to head out again and starting looking for a place to tweak my settings and happen to see your video...thank you.

[@jeffwebb9448]

Thanks for this. I just purchased this about a week ago and love it however it woke me up one night with too much pressure. WIth this video I was able to turn my pressure down to 4-5 like my resmed 10 is set at and I didn't have to go to see the doctor. I also wish they would allow the consumer to have the software! I use sleepy head but for what these things cost I think the software should be included. Thanks again Sir!

[@bthur5457]

Is there a hack to make the battery work with the humidifier???

[@lroukie3574]

Thank you for this… My husbands machine was actually giving him heart issues (DANGEROUSLY HIGH blood pressure) and we have kept asking for an appt to get a new one but it has been 4 months now and nothing! no new machine no appt nothing so he tried mine… and guess what!? His blood pressure was NORMAL! so I pulled my old travel machine out set it to MY new therapy settings (it was lowered because of weight loss) now we are both sleeping stress free! Lmao!

[@SWAMPTTHING]

You saved me at least 2 more co-pays, at least 2 fifty mile drives to the medical offices and possibly 1 stroke from being pissed with the realization I have to go on my overseas trip carrying my regular sized CPAP in my back pack. The prescription had the wrong pressure on it because of the very lame testing process that got me my new prescription. When I went in to pick up my brand new " U PAY FOR HALF OF IT YOURSELF MACHINE" I noticed the pressure wrong due to the incorrect number on the prescription. It was going to be a major paperwork, sleep study and prescription ordeal to fix the error because the store has to abide by the prescription. The insurance system is toast and the durable equipment portion is really screwed up. Thanks man, Oh and by the way, I really AM TIRED of being spoken down to or not being taken seriously when I need help by the medical professionals.

[@wtkarrow4961]

Just got my replacement device this helped tons!

[@mitchcornell7196]

Hey Lanky, what do you think is going to happen with the Dreamstation Go? I had a Dreamstation, and a Go; I've received a DS2 replacement and I don't think we're talking about the Go with the recall.

[@sherineattia743]

Thank you so so much, it is ridiculously hard to get a hold of my consultant let alone make an appointment to go in just to change the pressure. You’re a legend! Is there a way to make the fixed pressure machine auto? Some nights I need less pressure than others. I probably should’ve gotten the auto

[@timcandoit]

I recently purchased a DreamStation go. I use it on weekdays while I am at work because the nature of my job does not allow me to go home in between shifts. Anyhow, at home I use a resmed AirSense 10 which I love. But the dreamstation go feels so different and i end up throwing it off during the night because I feel like I am suffocating about 2 hours into using the machine. If I take it off for about 30 minutes then put it back on, I can go another couple of hours. Wondering if there are some settings I can match up to the two machines. On both I use the resmed nasal pillow P10. Thanks for any advice you can lend. I really want to love this little guy.

[@Indra.artist]

thanks, getting va to change it was impossible, I was sufficating

[@plasticgoat50]

This is the first time I ever subscribed or commented to anything posted on KZbin. I chuckled so much on your intro Quigley McNippleFlick and you are hillarious. You rock and you're really cute too.

[@Freecpapadvice]

Now THAT is some high praise! That first "sub" isn't just given away. I remember the first time I subbed I had been watching a certain creator for months before I decided they were worthy. Thank you! Because I'm an untrusting jerk face, I did check your profile to make absolute sure that I am your one and only sub. One question: Are you from Sacramento (or the area) The one posted video you have is a place I've been several times.

[@marilynjune8084]

Just bought a Dreamstation go , What number do i set the resmed nasal pillow n30 on the Dreamstation go to? And my script has pressure relief of 0 to 2cm of water and auto titrating of 5 to 15 but have been using resmed auto s10 for couple of years and my pressure thingie always is around 10 .. do i keep the 5 minimum and the 15 maximum on the dream go .... And haha really winging this dont know what im talking about but I saved $900 by buying online ..so straining my brain and setting it

[@WINTERPARKVENNENE]

This happened to us. The first straight pressure setting by the RT was too high. Machine impossible, ready to return, could not. Took a couple days to get back in. We looked for suggestions and title of your video was spot on. We reviewed it and redid the settings into smart mode. Is there a better mask than Epson because mask seemed noisy? Thanks for your courage and professional commitment to patients first.

[@andrewlee3625]

I had connected the Go with the mobile app, but it does not transfer the daily data to the app/ web account. How to resolve this problem?

[@masteraquarius747]

The va said I had sleep apnea but that’s all they did. I had to buy my own system. I have over 1000 dollars in masks before I found 1 that fit. Using this channel has taught me everything the va dr was to do

Thanks for the hack. My device still shows that the Ramp Mode is locked even after fiddling with the the clinician menu. Any ideas how to unlock it? Thanks!

[@jasonb193]

If you are in auto mode with a start pressure of 4 on the regular dreamstation the machine will lock the ramp pressure automatically. I assume the Go does the same thing.

[@2205940]

thank you for this info. it helped me tremendously. 4am trying to live

[@rdeclair]

My Cpap came programmed incorrectly. This allowed me to set this one like my other machines.

[@andrewaa560]

With the Dreamstation go can you use the water chamber and back up battery together?

[@kirbygreen8069]

No.

[@ThatGuy-rb7ft]

Yo. Its crazy how you talk about other therapist. Its spot on. Lol. Anyways Long story short, i was diagnosed with sleep apnea and while waiting to get my machine, i lost my insurance coverage due to layoffs. So i never got my machine. I did some research and purchased a Respironics bipap avaps machine. For the life of me i can not get it dialed in to where i feel like its benifiting me. Every night is an different experiment while testing a new setting. Ive gone into the forums and read how therapist jump in and scold people talking about it and want to hoard the info in the secret menu for themselves so the info is little to none. Anyways if you can please give me an average baseline to start at with max, min,epap /st,s,t,pc/ and tidal volume would be greatly appreciated .You will literally be a life saver. Thanks in advace

[@davidsoliscastillero8201]

Hello I have a DreamStation Go, I set it up with a password and I lost it. I need to delete the CPA and reset it to factory. Can you help me to reset it?

[@vintage2restored74]

My dreamstation only pumps air into my lungs when I breath in, what the hell is up with that. When I stop breathing with my mouth open (brain communication or purposely) it doesn't force air into my lungs to keep me breathing. It actually doesn't supply air until I take another breath, it doesn't make any sense. I thought the C stood for continuous. Is this a setting and is it correctable? Thanks. Update I just realized what a Bipap is, can I turn this off?

[@cG-es8mb]

I been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. My ahi is 39. Did my first therapy with my machine last night and my ahi was 9. Is that pretty good and how do i get it down to 5 or lower?

[@Michael_in_Vt]

Hey LL! I would like for you touch on Sleep Doctors/Sleep Centers/DME's not accepting some insurances even though my Auto CPAP is MEDICALLY necessary. I see a Cardiologist for Atrial Fibrillation which can be caused by Sleep Apnea. If I miss just two nights of therapy, I will go into AFIB which is very dangerous....it can cause a stroke or even death and I'm told to see a Sleep Doc via referral. Call the Sleep Doc and they don't accept my insurance! Call my Cardiologist to tell them they don't accept my insurance and it will be out of pocket and the Cardiologist goes "oh well'! What? Why?

[@gasmith723ify]

Outstanding video !

[@kloozman]

"Don't be distracted by my soft supple hands" 🤣

[@ChristmasEve777]

Thank you so much! I hate how everyone wants to hide this from the end-user. They should make the clinician menu accessible but not SO easy to get to that some idiot ends up accidentally changing his pressure setting(s). It's simple - if you don't know what you're doing, you DON'T go into the clinician menu. I bought a used Dreamstation GO and needed to set it for Auto 5 - 15 cm H2O. I saw this video & quickly got into that menu. It was in CPAP mode (at whatever pressure - can't remember). Thanks to you, it's Auto 5-15 now. So 41 ppl disliked. That's your offended count so far.

[@ChristmasEve777]

I read what I wrote again. I think I should explain, I am AGAINST it being a hidden menu. What I meant is don't make it so easy that some idiot would accidentally access it. Maybe have a warning pop up and you have to tap 'yes' to continue.

Hello, I am a prescriber and work, among other dx, with sleep. Thanks, Quigley MacNurple of Loch Purple, may your pillow be moist from vent juices for talking to innocent people and making them engage in pressure - crime. But, to all your critics, those who have the knowhow that this can be done and fund this video should get their own opportunity at screwing it up, though I doubt they will actually do that. Like for me, a new CPAP arrives in the mail, I plug it in only to see the settings are off, despite my colleague's gorgeous handwriting, and I do not feel like waking him on a Sunday night. This video came in handy. I have also had one patient, a sweet 80some grandma, tell me in her cute french accent how she hacked her cpap by watching KZbin because the wait time to see my kind can be months in our neck of the woods.

Why do you have to degrade Respiratory Therapists the way you do? I work in a DME with both Sleep Techs and RTs and we uphold each other with respect. I agree that patients can do whatever they want in changing their own pressure, we just can’t do it for them without a script from their physician. To call us as a profession stupid is ridiculous. We all try to help our patients, no need for the name calling...just sayin

[@Freecpapadvice]

Ummm........it's because I'm clearly joking. One of my closest friends is an RRT and we jokingly talk crap on each other all the time. Now I need you to finger wag all the people that talk crap on me in my comments section because you are in "white knight" mode.....just sayin.

[@luisurbina5115]

You should encourage patients to follow up with their sleep specialist, not play around with their pressure. There is much more to cpap compliance than getting the pressure right. Why don’t you tell pilots to tinker with their plane carburetors?

[@Freecpapadvice]

Because I don’t know anything about carburetors.

@@Freecpapadvice otherwise you would make recommendations? You are reckless if you think you know sleep medicine just because you know how to change the pressure in a machine. Ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect?

If you were a chick, AND I was single, I would ask you to marry me.

The fact that I need an Rx, have to be forced to go through a DME and have someone with barely a HS diploma educate me on how to turn on a CPAP is an insult. Never mind the fact that Cigna says that a travel unit is "NOT MEDICALLY NECESSARY" vs a home model (even though they cost the same). Double the insult from Cigna that I would be paying out of pocket for it 100% since I barely met my deductible so far. It's crap like this that has ruined our medical system.

Yeah, I just purchased a DreamStation Go out of pocket through the internet, because my insurance company said that a travel sized machine is a "luxury". I was like, wait a minute, a travel sized machine is actually LESS EXPENSIVE than a regular machine, so WHY would the insurance company not want to save themselves a few hundred dollars?! It doesn't make sense to me. The whole experience has been a real headache. Thank goodness I know how to set my own device. Excited to try out my DreamStation Go for the first time tonight, with my WISP mask that I love!
