S8 Elite II questions

Post by 2paps » Wed Jul 09, 2008 8:24 am

Can't access Efficacy Data without going thru Clinical Menu every time in the S8 Elite II. Does anyone know if this machine is different than the S8 Elite?

Also, when I do check the Efficacy Data, the pressure always says 0. Anyone know why it would do this?

In the Clinical Menu is SmartData turned on? I don't have the Elite II, I had the Elite, but I do have the S8 II VPAP Auto.

The pressure always only showing 0 doesn't sound right at all. I'd be inclined to take it back to the supplier if a local and have them run thru the menus and see if they get the same results: Pressure 0.

Got it from a local DME. RT doesn't know anything about the machine, was unable to answers the questions. No help whatsoever!

IF you would allow us to send you a PM I "might" be able to provide you w/some help via my VPAP Auto's Clinicians Menu since it is also an S8 II. You would have to go back into your Profile at the top of the page to do so.

You might also try e-mailing Resmed and asking them. Something your local DME's RT should have had the smarts, ambition and initiative to do.

Have you gone to myresmed.com and registered your new device? There is a link there to contact Resmed.

Are you indicating that when you press the Left and Right Arrow buttons simultaneously for ~5 seconds, you don't have the efficacy menu come up on the display.... or are you indicating something else?

Cheers,

Bill

should pop up with left and right arrow keys held down (if enabled), if not enabled,
hold down right arrow and down arrow for 5 seconds, go through menus and enable the smart and clinical data options, they should all be a toggle on/off settings.
someday science will catch up to what I'm saying...

Going into the Clinicians Menu as SnoreDog suggested you SHOULD the first time you go thru it write down what appears on EACH screen so that if you accidentally or intentionally change a therapy setting and want to change it back to the original setting you will know what that original setting was.
