ResScan software works somewhat differently. It creates a patient folder which contains a separate .RLK file (think ResLink!! This is how AutoScan 5.7 saves ResLink data!!) for each night of detail data, and THREE files (ClinicalData.db, Notes.db and PatientDetails.db) of patient-specific data. (Sl...

Success!! I Fixed the Problem I reread Billbolton's comment: Regarding leaving the S8 for a while before loading dara on the card, I always turn power to the S8 off and then restore it before loading data onto the card, so that may have something to do with my good results. I have always kept the p...

Slinky:

I would guess there are 100 days of data. One question I have is if I download the file onto my computer from the card reader, does it automatically delete the file from the card?

I will try to reach out to DSM.

Slinky: To answer your questions: yes, I did wait 1/2 hour before downloading. I connected directly to a UBS port on the PC with the card reader cable. The card is a new card that has never been used. I guess it's possible that it is corrupted?? I will try wiping the contacts with isopropyl alcohol ...

I just bought the ResScan 3.3 software and ACR 38 Card Reader from CPAP.com. That's the good news. However, after installing the software and attempting to download the data from the card, I continually get the following error: Invalid Session No in KPacket Does anyone know what the problem is? I tr...

For everyone's info, I just spoke with a manager at my DME, Lincare who is one of the "big" gorilla's in the marketplace. They told me that they have not been given any specific directions as to how to handle the recall process. I find it outrageous that Resmed has not simultaneously provided instru...

RG,

Thank you for the info. I have a machine that is affected. I will call my DME tomorrow.

The dealer I spoke to said he considered Silverlining software (the Puritan Bennet software for Pb420x) the best of all. His criticism of AutoScan was that it only kept 5 or so days of data active before you lost the detail & thus in order to keep a long record yu must save the data from the machin...

I have been using the Hybrid for about 4 weeks now. I had been using the swift mask. My biggest complaint about the swift mask was that I had to use a chin strap since I tend to be a mouth breather. The chin strap made me feel like a mummy, my face felt warm, and the strap on the Swift mask bore int...

"Control" by the DME is an understatement. I wonder how much they charged you for what you got? FYI, the mask comes with all three sizes (small, medium and large) for the pillows and the mouth section. My DME did that to me with the Swift mask when I was a Newbie (what did I know?) by not including ...

Have you used the Hybrid mask? I noticed you list it as a "standby".

Could someone tell me what "mask setting" I should use on my machine? Does it matter? I got the mask yesterday and my wife thought I was going to use it last night. However, having been a cpap user with the Swift mask for the past year, I didn't want to get overly optimistic given what my own experi...

Well, I guess I'll try it and see how much mouth breathing I do now. When I first began cpap a year ago without the chin strap, I was doing a lot of mouth breathing...my throat felt like I was in the Sahara Desert. Perhaps, I've trained myself to not mouth breath as much. Hopefully, that in combinat...

Thanks for your responses. I assume that the "dry mouth" issue can be resolved by just turning up the humidifier setting. I have been trying to find out how much I would be responsible for out of pocket payment from my DME through insurance (my plan has a coinsurance of 20% for DME). They are tellin...

I have been using a chinstrap for the past year. I hate it because I feel like a mummy. Furthermore, it doesn't let my face breathe. However, without it I tend to mouth breathe. I am seriously contemplating trying the Hybrid mask. I thought that one of the advantages of the Hybrid would be that I wo...
