Re: Resmed ... I apologize

Speaking as a software professional, while the 3.7 software is capable of displaying the detailed data we all need, the UI is pathetic. From not saving state (which patient was last to not saving the data download) to the hoops you have to jump to to get the detailed data up (instead of caching a da...

Re: New Equipment and S8 Elite II data questions

I wouldn't bother with EBay for the software and it sounds like you already have a bee-line on acquiring it so no need to comment there. I've been checking my data daily for the past month. I have a USB card reader (purchased from cpap.com) and have made reviewing data part of my daily routine when ...

EPR making results worse?

A quick overview since I see these questions asked a lot: 1) I'm a CPAP user for just about 1 month 2) My average data for the last 2 weeks (I don't have a card reader yet so I can't give specifics) is: Pressure: 11.0 Leaks: .15 (0 for my swift LT which I wear most of the time, .22 for my Quatro) AH...
