Can't get into the clinical menu! help?

[clummus]

I had my DME switch out my Resmed S8 Escape with an Elite model today. I didn't even know that there were "fully data capable" versus "compliance data" machines when I first started.
When I asked her to switch the machines, and told her why, she acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. She seems to know nothing about this machine.
Well, when I got home I began searching the forums to find out how to access the data for AHI, leak rate, etc. (not sure what all is on it) and I found some info that said to simultaneously press the up and down arrow keys and you should see "clinical menu" come up on the screen. When I do that, nothing changes, it still says "ramp" an "menu" (same thing it says when I turn it on.
What do I need to do to be able to access the data?

ResMed S8 Series
To get into the provider setup mode in a ResMed S8 CPAP machine - such as the S8 Compact, S8 Elite or S8 AutoSet Vantage - follow these steps:

1. press the right and down arrows simultaneously for about 3 seconds until the word "clinical" appears
2. select Menu

Use the left and right arrows to cycle through the settings and use the up and down arrows to make adjustments. Below is a list of settings you can cycle through on an S8 AutoSet Vantage automatic CPAP machine. There are four groups of settings which have adjustments and data within them.

* Settings
o CPAP Mode
o Minimum CPAP Pressure
o Maximum CPAP Pressure
o Maximum Settling / Ramp
o Mask Type
o Tube Length
o Humidifier
o Smart Start
o Leak Alert
* Results
o Efficacy Data
o Usage Data
* Options
o Smart Data
o Reminders
o Factory Defaults
o Erase Data
o Date
o Time
o Menu Type
o Language
* Servicing
o Run Hours
o Serial Number
o PCV Number
o SW Number
o BR Number


You just had the wrong keys,

Thank you for that information! That worked. When I cycle through to the "smartstart" feature, it says it is "off", but I can't seem to get it on. What should I do?
Thank for helping a newbie!

Press the Left button, then the Down button, then the Left button, then the Right button.

If I remember right it is Left button for Change, Down button for On, Left button for Apply and Right button for Exit.

That is the right key sequence. I just don't remember if the "Titles" are correct. But they are close enough you will get the drift.

Personally, I didn't care for using it. It started fine but in my opinion was too slow to turn off when I took my mask off.
