How can you tell if a cpap is working?

Sleep study : Ask your doctor to have a sleep study done while wearing the c pap machine. You will know if it is working during that study.

Sound and pressure: The machine should startup, make a small noise, and a patient should feel pressure. Alternatively, your equipment company can test it with a manometer.
