DreamStation Humidifier Adjustment - How to Quick and Easy

[@karenp9768]

Thank you! When I've come in to the shop I've always appreciated the extra time you take for explanation and being sure I know what the heck I'm doing. Like having the video back-up.

[@CPAPmyway]

Thanks for the positive input.

Thank you for your video. Just found out tonight that my sister was running her machine with humidity on, but with the water tank empty. She freaked out a little because the humidifier warming plate was turn on and getting hot and she thought her machine might have been broken. Thanks to your video I was able to learn how to turn it off for her.

Glad it helped

Thank you for sharing your knowledge how to turn on and off The humidifier Happy holidays🎉

[@CPAPmyway]

Thank you and you too.

THIS is the best help! Thank you!!!!❤

[@CPAPmyway]

Happy to help!

I was hoping that your would give advice for rainout, specifically...does the humidity need to go up on down if you have rainout AND the same question for the tube temperature. Thanks....

[@CPAPmyway]

If you have rainout your should adjust your humidity down and/or the tube temp up.

Thanks for the help. Too bad there is no way to magically change it to a Resmed machine! I have had CPAP four years and have had five machines so far. I have had to return the DS 2 twice. The DS 1 never had a problem. This one is not as easy to fill and clean either.

[@CPAPmyway]

Thanks for the input.

Thank you!

Welcome

My dreamstation 2 has NO setting to adjust the humidity. It's driving me nuts. There is NO icon to push when you turn the machine on. There is NO humidifier adjustment in the settings, even though I have the patient controls turned on. GRRRRR! Any suggestions?

[@CPAPmyway]

Something is wrong if you do not see those settings. You should definitely get with your provider and see what is up.

[@laurataylor9662]

Is there a way to turn on the heated hose and begin heating the water without all the air pressure turning on?

[@CPAPmyway]

There is not unfortunately.

[@granbyriverrun4234]

Just got mine from Philips as a replacement. I could not find any info on running machine with no water and humidifier in off setting.

[@CPAPmyway]

You can run it without the humidifier on.

[@davebeaudry3447]

If you do want to use the humidifier , what do you do with the water container.

[@CPAPmyway]

You can leave it empty.

[@jimmyg3855]

Mine is broken already not sure when I got the replacement

[@CPAPmyway]

They do come with warranty so I would reach out to your provider.

[@debshaw680]

Thanks I was drowning! 😂

[@CPAPmyway]

You’re welcome 😊

[@jaybarr3307]

Your first method is easier but there's a tip you didn't cover. If your heated tube is not plugged in, the machine doesn't sense it and only gives you an opportunity to adjust the humidity level. If it's plugged in, it gives you both options when you first turn it on, as you demonstrated nicely.

[@CPAPmyway]

Great input. Thank you.

[@nikkic8886]

I had the tubes last winter and I put it on my machine again and noticed my two buttons Arnt on my screen anymore

[@CPAPmyway]

That is odd. Which two?

[@seanmcnamara9606]

i keep forgetting how to do this and its been making me so angry. when i slap at the machine to turn it off when i wake up i keep turning off my humidity.

[@CPAPmyway]

Touchscreens can be a blessing and a curse at times

OLDER MACHINE WITH LITTLE WINDOW AND ROUND BUTTON

[@CPAPmyway]

Thanks for watching.

[@TerryHawkins-j4x]

Doesn't work for my Dreamstation 2

[@TerryHawkins-j4x]

I see the icons, but nothing changes when I press on them.

[@CPAPmyway]

Try swiping. The touchscreen is a little wonky sometimes. Additionally, your provider should be able to adjust it remotely for you if need be.

[@TerryHawkins-j4x]

@@CPAPmyway I tried all methods of changing the settings and finally called the equipment people who were able to change it remotely.

[@Yukonjackman1]

Piss poor unit can't go below 4 for a ramp up setting

[@CPAPmyway]

4 is the general low setting for starting pressure on most CPAPs. Sorry that you have had a rough go on the DreamStation 2.

[@Maya-bu2rf]

My doc said if she had known this was what they were going to do for replacements she would have told us to bring in our DS 1 machines and she would remove the foam herself. Unfortunately she did not know it was such an easy fix.I am expecting this one to croak in a few months and then in February I will be getting a Resmed machine!

[@jackrandom4893]

This machine is dry

[@CPAPmyway]

Have you tried it with heated tubing. Might be the machine sensing your ambient temp and humidity levels.

[@jackrandom4893]

@@CPAPmyway Yes. I have heated tubing. Is there a way to stop the machine for deciding for me?
