How do you get usage DATA off a REMstar Plus Domestic Model

[DriverGlenn]

I have had 2 surgeries to improve my breathing but im sure I still have sleep apnea.

Which types?

The first surgery was when I was first diagnosed in 2005. My oxygen level dropped somewhere in the 60's when I had the sleep study.

I had a deviated septum from a fight in high school a long, long time ago. I also have very large tonsils too.

Fixed the septum, removed the tonsils and the uvula (more commonly known as "the little thing that hangs in the back of your throat") , removed a little of the lower turbinate.

About 8 years later we went back in and removed more of the turbinates. The doctor was always wanting to not take out to much as to not have a case where my sinus would dry out.

Each surgery helped allot with my breathing. I use a full face mask since im a mouth breather. I do tend to get congested still where my nose swells up. But after the second surgery I have more days when I wake up with my mouth shut and im breathing through my nose and getting good rest.

I have set an appointment with my ENT doctor and im waiting to see what my next step is.

my insurance will cover the test so im not worried about the money. I am curious what my oxygen levels are now. I figure with my insurance the price of a new unit might be worth it.

I have been looking at the ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset

It would be nice to know how my sleeping is doing.


Things to think about: Glenn

Glenn, the Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset or Elite are highly regarded machines, but do avoid the CPAP model as it has no efficacy data. Also consider if you need a 12 volt system for trucking. Resmed operates on 24 volt power, and while you can use converters, it is a bit more complicated and expensive than the Respironics based systems that are 12-volt. If you do go with Philips Respironics, avoid anything "Plus" and get the Pro or Auto.

Thanks for the info.
My job now has me home every night. But the voltage is a good thing to know about.
