THANK YOU!! My APAP should have been set to 5 to 14, but the DME set it up for 15 to 18 It is fixed now thanks to this tutorial. CAMPING THIS WEEKEND!!!! Thanks fellow HoseHead!!

This video is a perfect tutorial which I watch several times to adjust. Only problem is that I can't get into cpap mode when pushing up if I chose apap 1, 2, 3. It goes back to apap 1. Edit: nevermind, I got it fixed with going down instead of up. By the way, I am immensely satisfied with this machine. As an apneu patient it was impossible for me to stealthcamp without the Z2. It features in several of my videos too

Thanks for the video, it help get me up to speed on the Z2 setup! The Z2A is not quiet. The sound level dB may be low depending on if it's a A or C weighted measurement which is not specified AND they do not specify how many meters the measurement was taken. With that said, I use my machine @ 12.5 setting and it sounds like a high reving motorcycle going through the gears down the road @ 12.5. Thankfully the muffler helps a little but the noise is still transmitted through the tubing. Because "Philips" has screwed us all, and it's getting hard to find any CPAP machine for sale... I suppose I'll settle with the Z2A for what it is. Going camping this weekend.

If I plug the same mask into my dreamstation home unit, it is significantly quieter. I’d say the Z2 is 10 times louder than when plugged into my home unit. I’m ready to get rid of it and try a different portable model because of it. Or just pack up my main unit when I travel. Have you ever heard anything along these lines about the z2?

I need help to figure out how to setup the Z2 the same as my day to day ResMed AirSense11. The AirSense 11 is set-up as a CPAP, I tried to copy the values and use them to program the Z2 but I am not sure I did it correctly. I tried to read the reccommendations from the Sleep Study report and they seem to match the AirSense 11 and set to CPAP with a Fixed 13 cmH2O. But I found that the Z2 seemed to pump too much air at 13 and ended up lowering to 10.

Having trouble with the app. Hubby needs to send data to his specialist. Ive downloaded the app and it wont connect, i cant set up an account as per instructions. Any suggestions?

I see that it has a built-in humidifier. In my research it mentions getting the moisture from the users "breath"...does it require the user to use a full face (nose and mouth) mask OR can it also used with a nasal pillow (this is what I use). Look forward to your reply. Regards.

I’m in the US but enjoy your reviews especially as relates to camping. I got the Z2 Auto Travel APAP recently, partially based on your comments, to replace the AirSense 10 when in our truck camper. Also got the PowerShell. A few questions now that I have used the Z2. 1. As the other user noted the pressure seems to stay at the minimum setting with minor fluations during the night per Nitelog. My pressure range is set to 11-17 per prescription which worked well with the AirSense. However with the Z2 the pressure rarely averages above 11. I experimented with a minimum pressure of 6 and it rarely deviated from that. So, why is this? How does the pressure reading of the Z2 compare to the AirSense? 2. The PowerShell “extended life battery” sucks. You mentioned that the Medistrom Pilot-12 Lite Battery recharges in 2 hours which I assume is AC. What is the recharge time from a 12-v source? How do you keep your Z2 running on extended camping trips? 3. My impression is that the Z2 has far too many parts. What do you use to keep them organized and protected while traveling? Sorry for the long post but I’m trying to decide whether to keep the Z2.

@CPAPReviews

Hi There, can you let me know what your average was on the airsense? If the pressure isn't fluctuating there could be something wrong with the actual flow sensor on the device and so it's not picking up the changes in your breathing. I would probably get it looked at. It's only a tiny little bit of rubber tube that connects to the flow sensor and this can be dislodged from time to time. The only negative feedback i receive regarding the powershell is the long recharge time. The pilot takes about 3 hours to charge from a car and you can recharge it from solar also on camping trips. I keep my Z2 in a travel bag www.z2cpap.com.au/product/z2-premium-carry-case/. It's similar to the airmini travel bag but a little bit bigger to fit the powershell and other components. You probably just need to the have the Z2 looked at :-). Mine goes from about 6 to 9 which suits me fine

Hi, thanks for the information! I have a question though, I have set my machine on auto pursuant to the instructions, and have set the pressures. The problem is that when I go to nitelog it shows that the pressure remained constant all night as if it was in cpap mode rather than auto.. I returned the machine and set up the new one and once again Nitelog shows that the pressure remained constant ( at the low pressure setting) all night long! Is it me or is it ...2...defective machines, or is it Nitelog??

what is that power cord to the portable battery? I have a DC adapter cord but yours looks less bulky

Does this sound like a software problem or hardware problem? I slept with my new Z2 auto CPAP last night. There was a strange problem. When i first took it out of the box and tested it the auto cpap (apap 2 setting) seemed to work. The display was showing 13 to 14 in pressure and fluctuating around. However once i changed the range from 7 to 20, the pressure of apap2 suddenly became fixed at 7 all the time. When i changed it back to 5 to 20 as it originally was, it then became stuck at 5. The auto feature doesn't seem to work anymore. Its always fixed at the lowest setting now. Do u know why? Is this some firmware bug? How do i fix this? Any idea? I hope its not a hardware issue.

Hi there, hmmm that's a tricky one. Remember that the pressure will only increase due to sleep apnea so if you're lying awake looking at the machine it really shouldn't be fluctuating much as no one has sleep apnea whilst they're awake. Check the average pressure after a night sleep and it will probably show you that the pressure is changing when you're asleep. If it's not then you might need to speak with a consultant or resetting the device to factory settings / upgrading the firmware

@@CPAPReviews When you use auto cpap setting, does it start at the lowest setting and then if the sensors sense obstruction in your breathing, then it gradually increases the pressure? For the last few nights I noticed it's been doing that. I set it at 5 to 20, and it starts at 5, then later while I'm asleep it goes up to 8 or 9. When I wake up and check it, it's usually at around 8. So I presume it increases during the night when it senses obstruction in your throat right? If so, maybe my machine is working normally as it should after all? And the initial 13 pressure was just a fluke or an attempt to clear the airways first when first out of the box?

Do you have a setup for the Z1???

Question for you Nick. Can Nitelog tell me if my mom has sleep apnea in theory if I hook her up to my Z2 CPAP device and used Nitelog to monitor the data. Would that be able to diagnose if she has sleep apnea? Would that be sufficient? Or would only the OSCAR software be able to do that? Can the program tell how often you choke or gasp for air during sleep? If my Nitelog app can tell how many times that sleep apnea has occured with green, yellow and red bars, then in theory I can test if someone has apnea with it right? For example, if I hook my mom up with it, and the data report the next day shows that she has yellow or red bars, that means she has apnea more than 5 times per hour (yellow bar) or more than 15 times per hour (red bar) right? According to the apnea chart that is. So in theory that should work right?

@CPAPReviews

3 жыл бұрын

Hi there, yes that's a great question that you raise! You could certainly use Auto CPAP to give you an idea if someone has apnea and you could do this a couple of ways. 1. You could just check out the pressure statistics to see if indeed the machine was increasing the pressure throughout the night. If it was then we could assume that it was doing so in response to sleep disordered breathing however it doesn't give us really accurate diagnosis. 2. You could fix the pressure at the lowest level (4cm) and then check the AHI after a nights use. If the AHI is above 10 then there's likely some sleep disordered breathing but once again, probably not super accurate diagnosis. Personally i'v always considered sleep apnea testing to be a bit of scam. Just another way for doctors / specialists / hospitals / clinics to make more money. 95% of the time, if the diagnosis is positive they just recommend trialling CPAP therapy anyway so why not just let people trial it for a few months and see if it improves their sleep / wellbeing etc and you could also use the data from the machine to guide you. Moreover, the testing process is flawed in so many ways and i can guarantee you that if you give the same raw sleep recordings to two different sleep techs the report / diagnosis will be different. In the next 3-5 years i'm sure there will be HUGE changes in the way sleep apnea is diagnosed. I'm sure there must be some companies working with the apple watch etc. Thanks for your great question! You're spot on really

Why does my Z2 smell like burning rubber through the night? Second time it’s happened to me and it’s so strong I can’t breath properly, have to remove the mask

I have a z2 auto. In apap mode it behaves as if in cpap mode operating at apap low pressure (4) as reported by HDM and Nitelog. I am using the mask and tube I use (Amara, 6 ft tube) with my Airsense 10 and I have no issues. Airsense provides pressure from between 7 and 11reported by Oscar. I blocked the tube at the mask and the z2 pressure climbed to 13 when I then released it. I also blocked the tube directly in the mask and the z2 slowly increases the pressure. I have tried 2 of these and both work the same. There seems to be no leaks reported. Is the Amara mask not suitable? Manufacturer did not respond to any request for help (email and phone) after several attempts. The seller has no idea on this. Any thoughts on this?

Any recommendations on a solar charging system that can hang to my pack with hiking and charge the battery? Can’t find any videos out there for long distance hikers with sleep apnea. I’m doing the Tahoe Rim trail in a couple months and need to find a charging solution for multiple nights out.

Hey mate, what battery system are you using? I'm in the process of developing a battery + solar cpap setup that can run the Z2 for around 5 days on a single charge. Pretty awesome. Should be ready in about 1-2 months. Take care. Nick

@@positivevibes7131 the problem with the Ankers are that they primarily power by USB port. The battery he is using in this video will last you 2-8 hour sleeps at 10 pressure and then you can charge your phone or emergency signaling device (Garmin) with the remainder of the battery juice. I've seen long distance hikers (PCT) that carry 3 of these batteries to get 6 nights of sleep and then recharge in town.

Nice one mate :-)

what's that ramp setting about? you didn't really explain it. can you elaborate on it?

@CPAPReviews

3 жыл бұрын

A ramp setting is a gradual increase in the pressure between two set pressure values over a set time period. Example is if i have a starting pressure of 4 and my min auto pressure set to 7 and a ramp of 30 minutes. The pressure will gradually increase from 4 to 7 over that 30 minute period. After that 30 minutes the pressure will then be determined by the auto algorithm between the AUTO MIN & AUTO MAX Level. It's also handy if you want to use the Z2 in fixed pressure cpap mode. IE, you could set your pressure to 10 and then have a ramp period that helps you get off to sleep at a lower pressure before the device gradually builds up to 10. Hope this helps. THank you

Question. I slept with the Z2 auto cpap last night. My nitelog app showed most of my sleep hours had yellow bars on the AHI screen which means mild apnea according to the chart. Does that mean the machine was effective in preventing the mild apnea or ineffective? The user guide doesnt interpret the results of the graph. Any idea how to interpret the graph? Are all the hour bars supposed to be green? If so do i need to increase the pressure for the cpap therapy to be effective? Thanks.

Nick. Do you think its ok to use the Z2 travel CPAP as a regular home use CPAP? The thing is all the CPAP suppliers i talked to don't recommend that. Do you know why? Are travel CPAPs inferior in treatment to home devices? Whats your take on this?

@CPAPReviews

3 жыл бұрын

It's mostly to do with two things mate. 1. They don't have an inbuilt humidifier system and majority of cpap users prefer humidity with the therapy most of the time. 2. The travel machines are a touch noisier than the full units as they don't have a large amount of space for sound insulation like the bigger units that have a lot of foam built into them casings. I know of many people who use a travel unit as their only device and they love it but you certainly have to be comfortable not having humidification with the therapy and some people are fine with that :-)

@@CPAPReviews Thanks Nick. I don't think I need a humidifier. I seem ok without it. But is the device motor quality the same in a travel CPAP as a home CPAP? I mean the quality of the machinery and parts provide similar quality therapy right? Plus the Z2 is a pretty quiet machine. I don't hear it when it's running.
