What Happened?? Help please

Post by FatiguedMe » Mon Jul 06, 2009 3:07 pm

Hey,
These are my reports from Saturday and Last night. As you can see last night is missing half of my night? What is up with this? Thanks for any help.

When did you last download your data? And the time before that?

There have been reports here that some Respironics machines lose data if the card gets full.

Surprise! Surprise! Its a Respironics M Series! How did I know that before I even got to the bottom of your post?? In fact, before I even scrolled down far enough to see the top of the first page of the data printout? Goshes, I'm good!

I don't think anyone has really come up w/a "fix" for this - except perhaps Respironics w/the newer M's. Most likely you'll just have to get used to your M Series dropping data one or two nights a month.

Hey, sorry for yanking your chain a bit. The dropped data has NOTHING to do w/the excellent therapy you get w/that M Series. They are a good CPAP. Its just that so many here picked on the Resmeds for so long sometime I just can't resist. For the most part "we" don't pick on the Resmeds any more and so "I" shouldn't have taken that cheap shot at the M Series. Ah well. I did.

If most of your nights average around 9 hours (like that second chart indicates), it would seem you're running out of room on the card to store the data. People say they reformat the smart card weekly so they don't lose any data; maybe you need to do that more often. (I'm no expert, as you know; that's just the logical answer that comes to mind.)

*And if you DO average 9 hours a night, what's your secret? I'm happy when I get 7.

did you have a long bathroom break - like hour or so -- many has reported missing parts of nights and this is one of the causes

Thank you for the replies!

HAHA Slinky I don't mind you takin a shot! No Problem.

JD I have been reading card like every other day or so, but I have not "cleaned it" It dates back to 4/12/09 but when I checked those I don't have daily readings. this time was before I had my reader. So I guess I need to delete everything?

BB! Hi ya doll! LOL I don't always average 9 hrs, but I do keep close to 7 or 8. Sometimes I think the machine records my actual hours of sleep WRONG! But who knows? By reformatting do you mean to erase info on card? Hope you see this soon!

You drunken Squirrel! You are stalking me and I told you I ain't got no bread! ROFLMAO! If it was the Twilight Zone I liked it, I sure was dreaming a heck of alot! ((((Fuzzy)))))

Jules, Dear Heavens NO I wasn't in the bathroom LOL! I would have fallen off the terlit if I had been in there that long! That rules this one out for me because I am not troubled in that area!
