Cool. Actually, I'm currently running a REMstar Auto M, which is a fairly nice machine. I begged my sleep doctor to give me an auto. My 7-day average can run anywhere from 7.5cm up to slightly above 10cm. My auto sometimes wakes me up cuz it's running at around 12cm, which is enough pressure to wake...

Crap! We can't get updates? So even if I buy the software, I won't be eligible for online updates? This would suck as I don't like having a software version locked in stone. If the software typically goes for several hundred dollars, my DME stands to make some profit if they sell it for some price b...

Thanks for the info.

Very interesting. If you simply turn the machine on, leave it on for 5 seconds, and then turn it off, does that count as 1 session?

Once I get my Encore Pro software, I can experiment with exactly what Respironics considers 1 session.

If I purchase this through my DME, I'd be getting a brand new, unopened copy of the latest version of encore pro from Respironics. She's selling me the software for $75, and the reader for $42. She's telling me that this price is pretty close to their cost as a DME. Apparently, once you get a copy r...

Thanks!

Any clue what happens when the card gets full? Does it overwrite old data, or does it stop writing new data to the card?

My medical equipment provider is willing to sell me a USB card reader and the current version of the software for $117 USD. I guess this is a good deal? I guess I'll jump on the option.

Thanks

encore pro smartcard capacity??

How many months of data will one encore pro smartcard hold? When a card becomes full, what does the CPAP machine do: does it refuse to store any more data because its full, or does it simply overwrite the oldest historical data point?

Thanks.

encore pro

This is my first posting on this forum. I have been on an auto-PAP machine for about a year now. After watching my health care provider pull all of this really cool sleep-history data from my Encore smartcard, I am interested in getting a copy of Encore Pro for home use (mainly out of curiosity). Ho...
