Which SD card for REMstar

Post by Zeppa » Fri Apr 17, 2015 4:16 pm

My hospital (UK) just gave me a REMstar Auto A-Flex machine but there is no SD card in it. Can I use any SD card with it? If so, do I need to know anything about formatting it?

Any generic SD card will work and you don't need to do any special formatting..just stick it in the slot and the machine will do whatever it thinks it needs to do to the SD card to make it work.
I think that even the SDHC cards will work but they are larger than is needed and cost more money.

1 GB plain SD card would work but they are hard to find. It's getting hard to find 2 GB cards but bigger will work if that's all you can find. I recently had to get a new card and the smallest I could find was 8 GB and I wanted it immediately so no time to shop online.

Any small capacity SD card will do. The one that came with the machine originally was a 2 GB card and will hold years of data.

Stay away from the SDXC cards.

Thanks very much, Pugsy and JDS74. I have been looking forward to trying Sleepyhead - I only had a ResMed S8 before.
