The Configuration area allows you to adjust various settings on the device.
Some features, such as Therapy Pressure and Calibration, require a password
for access. However, you can adjust the Ramp Starting Pressure, Ramp Duration,
and EZEX pressure relief settings if they have been set to be adjustable by
your clinician. To change these settings, simply slide the red oval across the
line to the right or left.
Compliance Manager
The Compliance Manager generates summary data and reports to help you and
your clinician monitor the quality of your sessions. You can review your
sessions by day, week, month, or longer.
General Functions
Within the Compliance Manager, you have the following general functions:
- Filtering by Date: Tailor the date range of information by clicking on the calendar icons and selecting the desired start and end dates. Click the Filter button to update the view.
- Generate Compliance: The 30-Day Compliance button automatically pulls the last 30-day window of compliance data that has at least 70% compliance (4+ hours of therapy 70% of the time).
At the top of the page, you will find three grey tabs: Daily List, Trend Graph, and Day Graph.
Daily List
The Daily List tab provides a general summary for the indicated date range.
It displays the Date, Hours Used, Average AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index), Average
Pressure, and Average Leak percentile for each therapy session. You can
reverse the order of the data shown by selecting the column header you prefer

On the Home screen interface, there are two primary areas to choose from:
Configuration or Compliance Manager. Let’s explore each one.
NOTE: If you disconnect your CPAP from a power source while in the software program, the software will return to the home screen until power is resupplied. Any unsaved settings will be lost.
Configuration
Select the Configuration box to open the configuration settings application.
Notice that when you are on any screen, in the right upper corner you will see
icons for the available applications in the software. Simply click on any of
them and you will go directly to that section. 
The Configuration area is used to adjust various settings on the device.
Some features, such as the Therapy Pressure and Calibration are clinician
settings and are only available with a password.
You can, however, adjust the Ramp Starting Pressure, Ramp Duration and EZEX
pressure relief settings if these options have been set by your clinician to
be adjustable.
To change them, simply slide on the red oval across the line to the right or
left.
- Therapy Pressure is a clinician setting that can only be accessed with a password.
- Ramp Starting Pressure controls the pressure at which your CPAP therapy starts when you engage the Ramp feature. This selection can be adjusted up to 1cmH20 below your
- Therapy Pressure.
- Ramp Duration controls how long it takes for your CPAP to reach your prescribed therapy pressure when the Ramp feature is engaged. The Ramp feature provides you with a lower therapy pressure to help you fall asleep more comfortably as it slowly Ramps the CPAP pressure up to your prescribed therapy level. This setting can be adjusted between 5 and 45 minutes or toggle the switch to OFF to deactivate this feature.
- EZEX Setting drops the pressure as you breathe out to make exhalation while using your CPAP more comfortable for you. This can be set to OFF, or pressure relief settings between 1 and 3 (3 being the greatest amount of pressure relief).
- Calibrate feature is a clinician setting that can only be accessed with a password. To calibrate the device, first make the appropriate adjustments to the other CPAP settings and click the update button. You will not be able to calibrate the device while you are adjusting the other CPAP settings until you click update. Connect the mask tubing and a manometer to the CPAP and power on the machine. If calibration is needed, select the calibrate button and slide the setting to the appropriate level. Click the calibrate complete button when finished.
- NOTE: To SAVE your adjustments to your CPAP settings, click the update button (next to the calibrate button on your screen) before navigating to another screen.
