Re: Suggestions about software for data tracking?

Normally, I would say get whichever machine you can get the software for. This is really why I'm asking for help. What browsing I've already done seems to indicate that getting the software is a real problem. I know the Resprionics that they showed me was a M series Remstar Auto. It may be that the...

Suggestions about software for data tracking?

Ok, It looks like I'll have a choice of one of these machines. 1) Philips Resprionics's M series Remstar Auto w' Cflex and Smart card, AHI, Leak (Yes, I know that PR has replaced this with the System One Remstars, but my DME is still providing the M series) or 2) ResMed's S9 AutoSet CPAP Machine or ...

questions about AHI vs. RDI and NO stage 3 sleep?

I'm a newbie here. I apologize in advance for the length of my posting about my sleep studies. I've now had two sleep studies done, one baseline and one with titration. After a brief tussle with my sleep doctor's office, I've now got copies of the reports, but not the full studies. Having been readi...
