FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions: Provider

 SET UP

1. How do I enter the provider mode?
With the device plugged in, press and hold the Therapy button for several seconds. When the light ring around the Therapy button begins flashing, continue to hold it down while using another finger to swipe down on the touch screen until “Entering Provider Mode” appears on the screen.

2. Can the prescription be changed via the device?
Yes. Enter Provider Mode. If a unique prescription has not been already set, upon first entry into provider mode you will be asked to “Use defaults” or “Start set up.” The device will walk you through a guided set up. Once set, you can review therapy settings in the Therapy tab. You can also make additional adjustments by tapping blue text.

3. How do I know how many “Auto Trials” remain?
In Provider Mode, navigate to the Therapy Tab and swipe until you reach the Auto Trial section (if CPAP mode is enabled). When you tap the days, you will see remaining trial days at the bottom of the screen.

4. How do I disable Opti-Start?
You can disable Opti-Start through Care Orchestrator in the Prescription section. Note that it takes 30 hours of patient therapy use before the Opti-Start pressure is determined and implemented when Opti-Start is enabled.

5. How do I exit provider mode?
Tap “Exit” in the upper right corner of the Provider Mode screens and “Confirm” you desire to exit the provider mode. Pressing the therapy button will not exit you out of provider mode.
