In this video, Nick from CPAP Reviews looks at how to change the clinical settings on the BMC Luna IQ Auto CPAP Machine.
The Clinical settings are different from the patient settings. In the clinical settings you can change things like
Mode - Auto / CPAP
MIN APAP Pressure - The min level of the pressure range
MAX APAP Pressure - The maximum level of the pressure range
RAMP Pressure - The starting pressure
Basically the machine will start at the Ramp Pressure (normally between set at between 4-6cmH20). It will then ramp up over a set 'RAMP TIME' period to the min APAP pressure.
After this initial RAMP TIME period has elapsed, the machine will automatically vary the pressure between the MIN APAP setting and the MAX APAP pressure setting depending on what pressure is required based on your breathing profile.
If you are having a lot of snoring and apnoea the pressure will increase to open up the airway more and even out the breathing profile. If you breathing is okay the pressure will gradually decrease over time etc.
The therapy is Automatic however you can use the sleep data to fine tune the upper and lower pressure limits of your device (MIN APAP and MAX APAP settings).
One of the Data variables is called the P95.
This is the value required to control 95% of your snoring and sleep apnoea.
If we look at this value, averaged out over a week we can use it as a guide on where to set the MAX APAP SETTING.
IE - If we had a p95 value of 10, we could set the MAX APAP setting at 10 and we could assume that it would control 95% of our sleep apnoea and snoring.
The benefit of this is that by lowering the MAX APAP setting to the P95 value ( instead of keeping it at the default 20) it means there is less chance for excessive mask leakage, less noise, and an overall more comfortable therapy.
I hope you find the lesson enjoyable. Cheers

Hi there, just letting you know the coupon code is no longer valid.
"Nick" works though 👍🏽
Fantastic! So great to have clear instructions to adjust settings - thank you so much. This has made a world of difference for my hubby!🙏😁
Hi Josie, Thank you very much for your lovely comment. Glad to hear the video has helped with your husbands therapy. Take care

Wish I knew earlier how good this video tutorial was. I have been having issues with mine for quite some time now, so I am going to change the the settings a bit based on this video and report back.
Just got mine today in Perth ex China from BMC. This excellent video sorted it. Thanks muchly. Ain't TH-cam grand!
Thank you so much for this video. Made things so simple
Glad you enjoyed it Charles. Cheers
Awesome work thanks for the honest straight forward review.
Most welcome, glad you enjoyed it :)

OMG THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!! In my country they charge $2500 for the machine and setting. $250 for the fking nasal pillow. I bought this online for only $300 but idk how it works.
Great thanx, very usefull
Please do a video to compare bmc VS resmed in terms of their sleep reports details for sleep doctor's diagnosis.
Thank U
You're welcome!
Would any heated hose fit this machine? Or does it have to be a certain one?
Do I need to unplug the machine every day after using it and shuor can I just leave in sleep mode when not in use
Why do patients have no access to their own detailed sleep reports like how Resmed cpap manufacturer could provide? The bmc sleep reports shown on the machine and via PAP Link app are miserably brief, even the email version via Icode. So neither I would advocate nor the sleep doctors in my country would approve the buying of any bmc machines till the BMC company settles the reports issue and return the right of access of personal medical reports to patients. Looking forward to the improvements soon.
how would you compare this model to the other one BMC Luna GII model E-20A? i see this has a smaller LCD screen. but how about the performance?
I ran my Luna II for a week and recorded my settings. I thought it was you that mention "AHI" an "SNI", I can not find it anywhere to make proper adjustments with thee variables. My AHI is 1.5 and SNI is
Is the setting the same for the BMC G3 a20 version?
Have a question, I used it twice and when I woke the machine was not pushing air. What could cause that?
How do i get machine to shut off Luna 11. When mask is off?? Help.
I'm confused about Reslex Patient setting. You can clearly change the number 1-3, so what did you mean a patient can set it? Please let me know, thanks for the video.
Nice video, informations are easy to understand. I would like to know the difference between mode auto & S available on some cap machines.
Hi Raymond, thanks for the great feedback. I'm not sure of this S mode. Can you let me know what model you are talking about? Cheers
Nick
@@CPAPReviews I use GII BPAP T25A and it is use actually in mode Auto. Thanks Raymond

Hi, is it safe to erase data ? What I get then ?
Does it have to be off? Cuz it’s not working for me.
Do I need to unplug the machine everyday after use or can I just power off to the sleep mode. Thanks
Hey mate, you don't need to unplug the machine. Just let it go into sleep mode. Cheers
Is the foam similar to the one used by Philips? Different and safe foam materials? Thanks
If you don’t use a so clean machine or an ozone cleaner, you shouldn’t have any issues with foam deterioration. That’s what caused the Philips issue to begin with. Also using those cleaners voids your warranty so best to avoid foam issue aside
is there an app or an internet portal that could access all your info/history with this machine?
th-cam.com/video/RxDivhLu2hE/w-d-xo.html
is it possible to get these demonstrations in FRENCH cause j'have difficulties to understand
Mate i would love to be able to speak a little Frenchy but unfortunately i'm stuck with this Aussie English rubbish haha
Can anyone please tell me what SNI in the reports are? I have no idea what it is or even should be.
It's the snore index and it's not very important however try slightly increasing your starting pressure and it should lower the number if you feel you are still snoring with the mask. Cheers
MY MACHINE IS SHOWING THE ALERT SOUND HOW CAN I STOP THIS, AND WHAT DID I DO WRONG
Hi Cheryl, you need to turn of 'mask leak alert' in the settings
hpa or cmh2o what's the difference ?
It's like miles vs kilometers. Just a different way of measuring the pressure level
I am having a problem with exhaling with my machine. The pressure is extremely high and feels like it is blocked
Check the "Mask Type" setting. That's why mine was felt like how you described. It was set on the wrong type of mask. I have a full face and it was set for another type.
Hello is Luna IQ and G2s are same model?
Yes that's correct :-)

Hi, I am trying to synchronize my machine with the app, but don’t find the word to match it, can you help me?
Hi there, i believe BMC has released a new app software called PAP Link - apps.apple.com/us/app/pap-link/id1063957893 . Have a great day

I have followed all your steps but one doesn't show ramp . It's only showing 0 mins. How do I fix this. Thanks
Hi Geoff, is your Ramp P lower than you Min APAP? The Ramp P needs to be lower in order to set up a ramp time
Also, in the clinical settings (part 3 of the series) You're only setting the max ramp time! It's in part 2 where you actually set the ramp time itself. For example, i could set the max ramp to only 5 min in the clinical settings which would limit the patient's ability to go above 5 min ramp time in their basic patient settings. Remember the clinical settings is designed for the clinician... You as the patient should be able to set up your ramp time length from the basic patient settings (part 2.) Cheers
I have successfully uploaded data and been able to access it on the app until last month, now Although it successfully uploads I cannot access it. Is this an app problem?
Hi Carol, i think they changed the app recently. apps.apple.com/au/app/bmcares/id1063957893 you might need to remove the old one or update to the new one. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews thank you I will try that.

I can't find any info regarding the noise levels available in specs on most machines. Where can I find the details of db on the BMC G3 ?
They're all very quiet these days. very small difference in noise between all machines
@@CPAPReviews Sounds good, but I would still like to know the dBa levels so I can compare it with other machine on the market. Just as quiet means very little , but thanks anyway !
@@mo8169 It means that if i put them all next to each other and ran them at same pressure you would need super sonic, tree falling in the wood with no one around to hear it hearing to spot the difference. They're all sub 28db.
@@CPAPReviews This machine very quiet - way betyter the ResMed
EN ESPAÑOL POR FAVOR!!!😢
Cpap machine BMC price
Hey Nick, can I buy filters from you guys for the BMC IQ, & how much are they please?

I’ve just bought this to replace a CPAP machine. I know my cm of water number. Should I just put it in CPAP mode instead of using it as an APAP machine?
G'day Tom, I would probably suggest using it in Auto but set a Auto Max level a couple of CM above what your CPAP pressure would be. For example if you have a set pressure of 10, set the automax at 12 just to let it have a bit of extra room to move up if the algorithm feels the need. The best thing about auto is that normally you end up with around 30% less average pressure during the night which means less mask leaks, less noise and just overall more comfort. All the best. Take care
@@CPAPReviews even your follow up comments are very useful and articulate. You are doing a great job to help people understand the machines and settings. Thanks again.
