Re: Need to get data off "ancient" Respironics BiPaP Synchrony S/T

Local respiratory clinic just called back. They don't have the cable, and they are not trained on it. In fact, she went as far as telling me she only knows how to read SD cards, not even the older larger smartcards that I understand some generations of Respironics machines used. So it'd down to orde...

Re: Need to get data off "ancient" Respironics BiPaP Synchrony S/T

They have one for the BiPap Synchrony, but there are multiple models of the Synchrony. EDIT: I found reference to what Respironics called a "SleepLink" cable, which is a Serial to Serial cable (probably DB-25 to DB-9) and reference to a USB to Serial adapter. on the BiPAP AutoSV manual. I hope it's ...

Re: Can I use my cpap to test a stubborn wife

I'm new here, but let me just say that my CPAP saved my life. Before then I was dozing off during drive or barely staying awake. Got into two fender benders in stop-and-go traffic. This was... more than 10 years ago. But I had to go to a sleep clinic to get the results. I still have the self portrai...

Re: Need to get data off "ancient" Respironics BiPaP Synchrony S/T

Guess I'll have to call them back and ask them if they have ever used the direct connection method (and if they have to call Phillips for help) I'm a techie (my first PC was an Apple //e) so I know what ports are what. But I'm not sure the local "respiratory therapist" would know what to do with my ...

Go to this forum and register and log in. http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/ Just registered and checked their file stash. They only have the 2.2.x versions. I've posted there asking for a link to 1.8, but I'm not holding out much hope. Keep fingers crossed... EDIT: They are encouraging me to try En...

Maybe it's time to upgrade your machine?????
Unfortunately, I'm also between job and medical insurance right now. *sigh*

USB to DB9 cable is easy. I can get one off Amazon for less than $10.

Need to get data off "ancient" Respironics BiPaP Synchrony S/T

Got this more than 10 years ago, and it works, and so I never bothered to replace it. Then suddenly, a job application required me to take a USDOT (department of transportation) physical, and I mentioned I use CPAP (well, BiPaP). And the examiner wanted to see my CPAP data download. Except the Synch...
