Help with interpreting Res Scan data

Hi I just got my Resmed s9 AutoSet machine yesterday and used it for the first time last night. I took a look at the card this morning on ResScan and was able to figure out some of the results but not all. My AH/AHI was 2.1. Is that good/bad? Also, is there a manual for Res Scan or some place that I...

Re: Newbie has concerns - your input appreciated

I am also a newbie. Here's some information that was passed along to me that I have found immensely helpful in securing equipment.

Re: Newly Diagnosed. Not Happy. Need Equipment Advice.

OK so what I really needed from everyone was advice and not a lecture about why I need to be happy and accepting about going into this.
