How much data (days) will fit on smart card?

I was wondering if anyone knows how much data will fit on a smart card (Encore Pro) ? If you don't download the data does it just start dropping off? I am just curious about this.

When I checked the settings (I don't have software yet) it was 18 IPAP and 14 EPAP. According to my sleep study and my Sleep Doc, I am supposed to be at ...

Whats with the wedge pillow??

My doc has me using this wedge pillow to sleep on and is adamant about my using it when I sleep on my back. I have no other medical condition then the sleep apnea. This all came about when I was having problems with the bipap pressure of 20-14 and he lowered it to 16-10. This was all done over the p...

I am not receiving treatment for any other issues or conditions. last night was the first night with the lower pressure on the Bi-Pap (16I-10E) and using...

I got hold of my Doc and he is going to drop the inhale pressure down to 17. He also suggests that I use some wedge pillow deal that ramps up to ten inches at the head end. Do any of you use these?

I was placed on a auto CPAP the next day and had fantastic life changing results starting the following day! After my Doc got the actual results of the study he changed me over to a Bi-Pap (20/14).
