Hi everyone. I just found out last night in the chat room that I can check my progress on my machine. I found the compliance meter values but I dont know how to read it. Could anyone with the same machine help me out. Thankyou.

Do you mean you'ld like to see how many hours of usage your machine reports? I don't believe you can get any other data from the display on 420G, nor even from display on the 420E.

There are xPAP machines the will show you your AHI in on the display. The are manufactured be Resmed.

The 420G is manufactured by Puritan Bennett.

The 420G is a vanilla CPAP; it does not provide any data for analysis by Silverlining. The 'breathing compliance' refers to how many hours the machine has been providing treatment.

The 420G only gives you the amount of time that you had the CPAP machine powered on as well as the amount of time that you had used the CPAP machine with your mask. Not much more info. I had the 420G before I got the 420S should gives you more data (including AHI, snoring, etc.)
