Resmed Autoscan Software

Hello, I have been using the Resmed S8 for a month and a half now and am wondering if the software from Resmed is worth the $150 price tag. I've read some of the posts here that say it's the worst of the three programs.

Anybody out there using the Autoscan software and finding it useful?

Thanks!

It worked

But now I am confused. The DME said that EPR is off because the script didn't call for it. But the EPR menu says 3

Welll shoot, that means no more relief that what I have been getting!

Nice DME, but didn't fully set the machine up per the script?

The machine is in CPAP mode. If I press the two buttons besides the up/down arrows it brings me into efficacy data and user data. I don't see any other menu choices beyond these two that points to any settings.

Thanks

S8 Autoset Vantage question

Is there a way I can turn on EPR myself? Or it there like a special card they insert into the machine to update settings?

Thanks!

I have been using a Resmed s8 auto vantage for 3 weeks now. From what people have told me on this forum it is a very good machine. I was going to ask for a Remstar but the people here have changed my mind and I am going to stay with my s8.

Good luck!

Linda, I remember my first couple of nights now on my cpap at a pressure of 10. I felt the exact same as you described! I just figured I was like in a 'sleep hangover' from sleeping too deep- my first night I woke up in the morning and my hip was so sore I could hardly move. My wife said it was beca...

Well, you have made up my mind to stay with the s8 auto vantage. I also spoke with my DME, who was very nice and helpful. He told me the EPR is not on since the doctor didn't prescribe to have it on. He also said the Hospital I went to for the sleep study, OSF in Peoira IL, requires all patients tha...

Thanks everyone for their input. Question - so with the s8, if it is in auto mode then EPR is not functional? And with C-Flex, you still get a pressure relief on exhalation when it is set in auto mode? I pressed both side buttons and a different menu displayed! Thanks for that piece of info... It ha...

Thanks for your reply wading. I don't know if the EPR is on, is there a way to tell? I am renting the s8 monthly, and the place where I got it didn't explain the EPR feature or what the machine is capable of. If fact, most of what I have learned so far has been from this forum! I was just doing alot...

New to cpap and forum

Hello, I have been on cpap for 2 weeks now using s8 auto vantage. I didn't know anything when I had my sleep study and was totally clueless when I received my machine. After reading about the different technologies, I was thinking of asking my doctor for a Remstar with the C-flex. The S8 vantage is ...
