Re: Service Required

well the machine worked well after I replaced the sd card and then 1 month later it finally died. CPAP.com was very nice to deal with and I shipped it to them and they sent it to respironics. after 2 weeks I was sent a new machine!!

Re: Service Required

I have had the same issue for the last couple of nights. I have a Remstar DS550S Auto. Any ideas of what I could do before mailing it in for service? I own this unit.

Re: Consolidating data from two System 1 units

I was able to make it work following some suggestions from this board. I loaded the datacard I use in my travel machine and assigned the card to myself. Encore Pro then added the data to the current user - me. When after a week of using my home machine I loaded its card then the blank data from the ...

Consolidating data from two System 1 units

I have a DS250 and a DS550. The latter I purchased on my own and am very happy with it. I travel for work related reasons quite a bit and so I use the 250 as my travel unit as I would rather have any dings/dents on that one versus the more costly unit. Is there a way to consolidate data from these 2...

Re: AHI and Auto CPAP (APAP)

I have encore pro so will look at the graphs rather than just the AHI on the summary page. Silly question...AHI take into account both central and obstructive episodes correct? What I do find with a pap is that I wake up less through the night. Another option is to go on cpap for a couple of days an...

AHI and Auto CPAP (APAP)

I have switched to a System 1 Auto machine the 550 model. I originally was prescribed a pressure of 7cm and since using the auto mode I have set ti to range from 7 - 12. I get a good night's sleep but I have noticed that my AHI is under 5 (like 2.6-4) on a pressure of 7cm but when the machine is at ...

Re: Waveform data missing?

i rechecked an no waveform data after reinserting the card. If I erase or clear the data will it still get transferred to the card later i.e. is it on the machine's internal memory? I have a follow-up appt in a couple of months and they will be downloading the info and want to make sure i do not sho...

Re: System One bipap auto not saving waveform

i have noticed too that if i get the card out soon after waking up there is no waveform. i will reinsert the card and start waiting a half hour or so to see if it appears. i wonder why it does this?

timestamp PR system one

Does anyone know how to change the timestamp/clock on the unit? My software downloads all make it look like I go to bed at 2 am and that i awake at 9am or later.

Any way to change this? Does the system one have a battery backup so that if unplugged the time would still be accurate?

Re: APAP vs. CPAP Quality of Sleep Difference

I noticed similar findings. I moved to a PR Syteme 1 Auto from their more basic CPAP model. Using the software I was able to determin that with the settings initially prescribed I was having an AHI of around 5-7. With the auto settign I am down to an AHI of 3. My pressure ranges from the prescribed ...
