How to Adjust Airflow With ResMed Compact

ResMed Compact owners may adjust the device's ramping or airflow time and altitude settings for comfortable airflow. The machine's maximum flow of air is physician prescribed and pre-set, but controlling the time span over which the air is delivered allows users to acclimate their natural breathing patterns to the air pressure. In addition, if you move to an area that has a different altitude from the one in which you started using the ResMed Compact, you may notice that your device's flow of air feels stronger or lighter. The device has adjustable altitude settings to accommodate location changes.
