Operating RESPeRATE Questions & Answers
Q: How do I
change the volume on the device?
A: To adjust the volume on your device, simply
press the UP or DOWN arrow button on the device’s
keypad. The volume icon is displayed on the device's
screen, along with the current volume level. Continue
pressing the button until you reach your preferred
volume. After a few seconds, RESPeRATE
automatically returns to the previous display.
Q: How do I
change the melody on the device?
A: To select a melody, simply press the MELODY
SELECT button. The melody icon is displayed on the
device's screen, along with the current melody number.
Use the UP or DOWN button to scroll between melodies.
For your convenience, RESPeRATE
remembers your most recent melody choice.
Q: How do I
know where to position the sensor and sensor belt?
A: You should position the sensor belt around
either your abdomen or your chest, depending on where
your breathing belt is most pronounced. You should
adjust the belt to fit snugly while you are in a sitting
position and be sure that the sensor belt is neither too
tight nor too loose.
Q: How long
should the recognition stage take?
A: The recognition stage should not last longer
than two minutes. If it takes longer than two minutes,
try repositioning your sensor and relax and breathe
normally.
Q: What is the
STAT button?
A: The STAT (statistics) button helps you assess
your performance in the prior RESPeRATE
sessions. You can examine the data from all previous
sessions, from the last 10 sessions or from the last
session alone. Please refer to the User Manual for
specific details.
Q: How long
should it take me to start breathing under ten breaths
per minute?
A: There is no set amount of time to slow your
breathing to under ten breaths per minute. It all
depends on your body's own individual needs. Just follow
the sound patterns as best you can and the
RESPeRATE
device will guide you to the slowest breathing rate that
is right for you during that session.
Q: What happens
if I can't slow my breathing to follow the device?
A: Don't try to force yourself. If you are having
trouble following the device’s pace, simply breathe
normally. Within one minute, RESPeRATE
will automatically readjust itself to your breathing
rate and pattern and begin gradually slowing your
breathing down again. The readjustment and slowing
process will continue until you reach the breathing
pattern most comfortable and beneficial for you.
Q: Am I
supposed to lengthen my exhalation period when
conducting the breathing exercises?
A: All you have to do is synchronize your
breathing to the inhale and exhale tones created by the
device. RESPeRATE
will automatically prolong your exhalation period in the
best way for you. If for some reason you have difficulty
following the melody, breathe normally and
RESPeRATE
will automatically readjust itself to your natural
breathing and start the slowing process again.
Q: How often
should I use RESPeRATE?
A: Your goal for each week should be to achieve
45 minutes of effective exercise time (The number of
minutes spent breathing under ten breaths per minute).
We recommend using the RESPeRATE
for 15 minutes at a time, at least 3-4 times per week.
Additional use has been shown to provide additional
blood pressure reductions, and there is no danger of
using the device too much.
Q: How do I
know if I am doing the exercise properly?
A: When your perform the exercise properly, you
can actually see the decrease in your breathing rate
displayed on the device's screen. You can also press the
“Current Effective Exercise" button on the top left of
the device at any time to check how many “effective
minutes” (The number of minutes spent breathing under
ten breaths per minute) you have acquired within the
session.
Q: What is the
meaning of the number displayed on the screen when the
device is turned on?
A: When the device is turned on, your accumulated
effective exercise time from the past seven days is
displayed. (“Effective Exercise” refers to the time
during which you breath under ten breaths per minute.)
Q: How do I
change the duration of the session of the
RESPeRATE
device?
A: The default duration for each session is 15
minutes. To change this default time, simply hold down
the Exercise Time button (located in the center of the
keypad default) until the display blinks. Use the Up or
Down buttons on the device to adjust the default time.
For more information on changing the settings of the
RESPeRATE
device, please consult the User Manual.
Q: How long
before I will see results?
A: In our clinical trials, most patients saw
results after just three-four weeks of treatment. The
full results should appear within eight weeks of
treatment.
Q: Whom should
I contact for help with my device?
A: Our Customer Service department is open Monday
through Friday from 9 AM to 5:30 PM ET. You can also
contact us for help with your device anytime via email
at
support@msobiz.com
