- Good day guys.
Nick here again.
Part two of the Luna, BMC Luna all home machine.
I said, I would go through the patient settings with you.
Okay, so as you can see, there is the screen
of the BMC Luna with the three buttons below.
The first thing I'm gonna show you
is how to change the humidifier settings.
Okay, and all we're going to do, to do that,
so the humidifier for those that don't know,
is how much moisture is in the air.
So to change the level of moisture,
what we're gonna do, is switch it on.
So, press the start button here,
and the air will come through it.
It will be noisy at the moment,
because there is no person on the end of that mask.
All right, but once we've got the air coming through
we're just gonna rotate this dial clockwise.
As you can see here, the numbers gonna go
one, two, three, four, five.
And also there's this blue bar
that comes up as well to show you
the level there as well.
So, the higher you go up in the numbers
the more moisture there is gonna be in the air.
If you're dry in the throat or you're waking up
you're quite parched you might need a bit more moisture.
Alternatively, if you are getting what we call
rain out, like a lot of condensation
in the tubing over night time,
too much like water,
you might need to bring this level
of humidification down.
Or get a heated tube kit or a tube cozy.
So, I'm gonna just turn that off there.
So just press that button down.
Okay,
now to get into the patient settings.
What we're going to do is hold down the right button
for about three seconds, one, two, three
and it's gonna pop up.
And here you have a whole bunch of different settings
that you can change yourself as a patient.
One is the humidifier.
So you can if you want to, change it
from the patient settings as well.
What we're gonna do is just click it down
and then you rotate.
And you can see it's going up and down
so we keep it on two for now.
This is the ramp time.
So your ramp time is generally used
for if you're using a fixed pressure mode (CPAP).
So, it's how long it takes for the machine
to get from the low pressure to your set pressure.
So, you can't change that.
If you want like you know, at night,
it takes you a while to get to sleep,
you might have that thirty minutes.
So, just gives you time to get into bed
and get comfortable with the therapy
before it starts getting up to those high pressures.
Delay, I don't know what that is, unfortunately.
Delay, what would that be?
No I don't know, I don't know what the delay is.
Then you get your date and your time.
Your brightness of the LCD screen.
The mask, so you can change the mask from
nasal, pillows to full face.
Depending on what masks you've got there.
So, lets just say we've got a nasal mask.
Your icodes, just leave that the way it is there.
Okay, so that just means you can check
your icodes from here.
But I'll talk about the icodes in a bit.
Your usage times and about the machine,
it's got like serial numbers and bits and pieces
and stuff like that in it, all right.
So we're going back in here.
So that's pretty basic, that there.
And then once you've sort of finished there
you just sort of go down to the home button,
and back button, click back.
The other thing you can do is,
if you want to put this in.
If you just, you got home, if I'm just scrolling here
your settings, and if you go down one more
it gives you this sort of data screen.
So this is if you just want to look at your data,
just from the actual screen itself.
So, if I click this button down,
you can see it's taking me there onto the screen.
If I click period, I can change that.
So this is the amount of data.
So this is like every check every week.
One month, so I reckon a week to a month's probably
a good amount of time there, so just click that.
And normally if somebody has been using this machine
you'll get all these numbers on here.
We'll have different numbers instead of zero, zero, zero.
So you can count how many hours you've used it for.
Your P95 is 95% of the night.
The pressure is below whatever that value is there
the P-mean is the pressure mean
so the average pressure throughout the night.
The Apnea-Hypopnea Index is how many times an hour
you're having apnea.
Anything less than five is really good,
if you're sort of between five and ten, not too bad.
You don't really want to be over ten
for the Apnea-Hypopnea Index.
Your snore index, don't worry too much
about the snore index.
Leak is how many liters per minute your leak rates are.
As a rule of thumb, you know, generally,
under 50, 60, is pretty good,
depending on your tolerance of leak.
Just keep an eye on that leak.
You don't wanna see it getting above you know, 60, 70,
it's getting a bit ridiculous.
So if you got it down around 30, 20,
you're doing really, really well with your leak rates.
So I'm just go scroll down here a little bit here.
Yeah, so that's that.
You can't really scroll down there.
So back, so that's just the two things there
and then we just go back to home.
So this little home button here lights up
like that and we're back at home.
I'm just going to click this so it's gonna start up
the pressure, and then on the side here,
you can see what your pressure there
and your liters per minute your flow as well.
On the front here you've got your settings.
So, your minimum auto settings.
So that's your minimum level of pressure.
Your maximum auto setting, at 15,
so that's where it's capped at.
How high it can go.
Obviously, you can change these values
within in the clinical settings,
which I'll show you in a bit.
And then that's the maximum ramp setting
available, 30 minutes there, okay.
So yeah, that's basically the patient settings.
I'll take through the icode
and the clinical settings in the next part three
of the series.
Okay, thanks for watching.
