where to get card reader or data cable

Where do I get a card reader or data cable for a Resmed S8 Autoset II?

I thought I had a cable ordered but CPAP.com doesn't carry them anymore.

The cable could come from Australia at 95.00 or so ....... I'd rather not pay that

Re: "bamboozled" Mother update

WAY TO GO!!!

Be proud of yourselves. I had a little bit of trouble with mine but if you put your foot down they realize that you're not a pushover.

Congrats and keep up the good work (and the therapy).

Re: Origins of Selling CPAP Software to Patients

As I told in a previous thread - had to browbeat the DME for my Resmed S8 Autoset II. Walked out on him and only came back after 2 weeks when they bought the machine I wanted. ON READING MY DATA- DME: You wouldn't be able to understand the data. ME: I've got a degree in Computer Information Systems ...

Re: Newbie just joining .... after a fight with DME

Thanks Brazospearl ...... I'm guessing a Texas connection .... but I may be off. I have learned so much but so little.

Remember that you can fire any of the doctors or medical suppliers that do not help you. 3. Fight for what you want. 4. Keep digging in this for...

Re: Newbie just joining .... after a fight with DME

What I see (with my vast....ha ...ha... experience--- a month?) is that most doctors don't know about apnea. They write the rx and send it off. Patient fixed. The DME gets RX for cpap. Give patient cheap cpap. Patient fixed. Teach patient - push this button for on and off. Several DME folks I have m...

Re: Newbie just joining .... after a fight with DME

I'll take the congrats but the credit goes to all on the forum before me. I read, took notes and followed the links.

Newbie just joining .... after a fight with DME

Hello folks, First, thank you all very much for the advice you gave even though you did not know it.
