I have a RemstarPlus that is equipped with an Encore card. What is the function of this card?

Find someone with a card reader and software to read the card for you and give you a report on how well you slept and help you see if adjustments are necessary.

If you have a Remstar Plus, it is useless, all it will give you is compliance data. (The numbers of hours you used the machine) Jim

The problem with a Plus machine is that it only gives compliance data, not AHI, leak rate etc. I already KNOW how long I slept and how many nights I used it!! I plan to upgrade as soon as possible.

A card reader and software won't get you any real data on the Plus.

Edit: Looks like GP beat me to it...
