Ramp Time
(S mode, CPAP mode) Ramp time is a feature which can be enabled by your
clinician. If you have difficulty falling asleep with full pressure, select a ramp time.
The airflow will start very gently while you fall asleep. The pressure will slowly
increase to full operating pressure over the selected ramp time. The clinician has
set a maximum ramp time; you may select any value up to the maximum.
Settling Time
(VAuto mode) Settling time is a feature which can be enabled by your clinician.
If you have difficulty falling asleep with the VPAP Auto operating, select a settling
time. The airflow will remain at Minimum Pressure for the period of time that you
set, giving you time to fall asleep. After this time, the VPAP Auto will be able to
increase pressure in response to events.
The clinician will set a maximum settling time; you may select any value up to
the maximum.
