How to stop ResMed's report transmission

[palerider]

I know for a fact that ResMed can update the machine software from their location using the cellular network because I can see the software versions for each part of the machine does change in time. After all you can use your smartphone to transmit files on it using the cellular network to another phone or to storage in the "cloud"

Yeah? so?

*not on the internet*.

Now, sure, if a 'hacker' managed to breach Resmed's systems, and gained the right credentials, then they could, theoretically, alter a machine.

my home WiFi, but I'm sure Palerider will say even that's not safe, 100%...but 4g/3g is very safe!!!

Nothing is 100% safe unless it's encased in concrete and sunk to the bottom of the Mariana trench... but if you've got a long, complicated wifi passphrase, it's reasonably safe, though it'll be better when WPA3 starts rolling out.

I love this forum, you learn something new every day.

Its really cool too seeing or learning about all the diff backgrounds / jobs etc - some pretty cool ones I am sure

Can the CPAP settings be changed remotely?

Yes, it's a "feature"..
Helpful for people who haven't found this site.

I am more concerned that some hacker could change the settings while I sleep. Why it has a airplane mode if the connection is safe to begin with? That would be awful and it is on the cellular network.

To keep you from crashing the plane into a high school, of course, by hacking the controls.... Jim

Crazy Terrorists use XPAP's too!

Sheeeessshhhh Palerider, there goes another one to Apnea Board!!!

And thanks for the laughs!!!

For some reason with your elocution above I'm reminded when Marissa Tomei answers this question on the witness stand in My Cousin Vinny:

"Ms. Vito, bein’ an expert on general automotive knowledge, can you tell me... what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet, with a 327 cubic-inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor?"

Wonderful scene, that.

All I can say about mr OfftoNeverNeverland is that "if one is going to try pulling off the 'condescending prick' routine, one should endeavor not to be demonstrably WRONG about almost everything one says".

You know why GPS time is very accurate? because if it's off by even 1 microsecond, that can result in a 300 meter positioning error. (approximate distance radio waves travel in a millionth of a second).

Now I have to go watch the movie again

I dunno. I kinda enjoy not having to pack it all up and take it to the doctors office for my appointments. I go in and he already has the info he needs.

You just need to take the SD Card from the machine.

True, the current machine I have is the first that has that ability. All of my previous machines did not. But still.l, it's just as easy for him to down load it and I don't have to mess around taking it out, putting it back in or possibly losing it in transit. Who really cares about how I sleep any way?

I just got a CPAP machine and was more than a little disturbed to learn that some third party--the folks who sold me the machine, maybe?--can access data accumulated on my machine. No one asked my permission to do that. I find it presumptuous, intrusive, and offensive. It's an uninvited invasion of privacy. It reports when I use the machine and for how long. That data is mine to divulge, not some third party's to seize at will. My insurnace is paying for the machine. My insurance paid for the sleep study. So I'd like to cancel the automatic uploads or accessibility of this information and provide it on an as-requested basis after determining who is requesting it, for what purpose, and under what terms of privacy--you know, standard HIPPA stuff.

So does anyone know how to disable to automatic reporting on the ResMed AirFit model F20?

I've never understood the rampant paranoia of some people who are afraid that some huge faceless multinational corporation was going to give a crap that they went to sleep a half hour late last night. *THEY DON'T CARE* ... but by analyzing the sleeping patterns of hundreds of thousands of people, they may be able to make their products treat us better.

Your insurance company has the right to know that you're using the equipment they paid for... that's all that they care.

Also, learn something, masks have no electronics, they don't even have little cameras or microphones, they're not going to rat you out to the authorities.... that frilly lace teddy you wear to bed can stay your secret.

Personally, I think the paranoids are out to get us!!!

Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you.
