Most likely the staff at the clinic CAN tell you how to reset your machine, but they probably won't want to. CPAP is a prescription medical device, and they are hesitant to allow users to reset their settings on their own.

You have only been using CPAP for a few weeks? Keep in mind that when the machine is on ramp, you are not getting the full benefit. So, if you fall asleep before the 45 mins., you will not be receiving adequate pressure during that time. It is possible that once you get used to CPAP you will only need a 20 min. ramp.

But don't let them tell you it can't be done! I don't know about your specific machine, but my husband uses a ResMed, and it is stunningly easy to reset.

A few months ago, his CPAP kept (I thought) resetting itself. I thought the machine was defective, and was starting to lobby our insurance company to replace it. But in the meantime, I would have to drive 40 mins. to the home health place and have them reset it. One day the respiratory therapist was in a hurry and did it in front of me. I was shocked! There is a little port on the machine that looks like a telephone jack. I just assumed that was how you set the machine, by plugging it into a computer or something. I still don't know what that port is for, because the machine is re-set by pushing a certain combination of buttons on the top of it. And the combination necessary to reset this expensive piece of medical equipment? 1 -2 -3 -4! I am not kidding!

I finally figured out why we were having such trouble with the machine. Whenever my husband's 5 year old niece would come to visit, she would push the buttons in order, causing the machine to reset! I knew that she did this, and didn't think there was any harm.

Hope things work out for you!
