Mine came pre-set at 6 min and 16 max. I'm using a ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet with full mask. I'm new and only been 'PAPing' (is that what the cool kids are calling it?) for a month.
My Respiratory Therapist has monitored me closely these first few weeks and we adjusted the min to 7 because I felt like I had to take really deep breaths while trying to fall asleep and left the max as is. My usage was maxing out just under 16 during the night and it never woke me up.
So, 7 is good for me to breath mostly normal while I doze off with a ramp of 20 minutes. My numbers have been good going from 37 events per hour to under 2, and after 2-3 nights, I have been sleeping right through. Maybe I'm just blessed.
From the previous comments, it seems like other clinics/RTs aren't all taking the time to ensure their patients are adopting and adapting successfully. It's good that there are sites like this and apps like SleepyHead to help 'Apneans' have more success with their therapy.
My first post to MyApnea, not exactly as I expected.
If you're out of TP, sacrificing a facecloth will always work. Warm water, wring it out and then apply. Rinse it out afterwards and toss into the laundry. We only visit the loo to poo about twice a day (most of us) and I'm sure we all have a couple facecloths that have seen better days anyways.
Just a suggestion.
Paper towel and wet wipes (baby wipes) aren't flushable so unless you're a plumber...
