Hybrid + ResMed S8 Vantage

Just getting ready to use the Hybrid. I have a ResMed S8 Vantage and I'm not sure what mask setting it should be set at. My guess is the " full mask " setting. Anybody know for sure?

High Leakage With Nasal Pillow?

I use the Mirage Swift Nasal Pillow system and have been experiencing a high leak rate recently and am not sure why. At the begginning of July I started recording the efficacy data results from my ResMed S8 Autoset Vantage. From July 5 through July 20 the leak rate was under .24 L/s for all but 3 of...

Could someone tell me where I can get the ResMed AutoScan software and ResScan Data Card Reader. Also is the software compatable with my S8 Autoset Vantage?

I have the ResMed S8 autoset vantage. The data card that came with it can NOT be used with a compact flash card reader.

Sorry, I'm not a guest. Forgot to log in. BTW, my threapy is going quite well, especially since I started using the ResMed S8. Let me know if you find out what correlation there is between atrial fib and sleep apnea.

S8 Auto Vantage APAP and Efficacy Data

I own the ResMed S8 Auto Vantage. I find this APAP unit much more comfortable than the Remstar CPAP unit that I was using. Took some doing, but I even got my insurance provider to cover the S8 ( Kaiser Permanente ). Have a question: now that I know how to access the "Efficacy Data" recorded from the...
