Yes is the answer. My experience is that auto machines can be turned into a straight CPAP SO cost is the big factor. One day we will start with autoset machines.

Re: Where can I purchase a ResScan USB Adapter

Thanks Roster thought I had done that but forgot to hit post.

My insurance has no idea. I did this on my own. Not using DME so learning as I go.

Where can I purchase a ResScan USB Adapter

Hi all,

It seems from the reading of this site I need a ResScan USB Adapter cable. I don't see any on CPAPauction. Would anyone have one for sale? I really want to see my data. Also could someone recommend a reasonable priced pulse oximeter.

thanks,
