Wrong, the latest version of sleepyhead worked on my icon novo
Does the latest version read ALL the information? I can't find it right off hand but I swore I saw a post elsewhere from late spring/early summer that said some of the information in the file format had been decoded and therefor able to be used by SleepyHead, but that some of the information wasn't yet usable.

It will sound silly, but I prefer the styling of the Icon models having a smaller footprint albeit taller overall than the S9 or System One, and with the built in clock I can free up more space on my nightstand. But I also know it's equally silly to chose a medical device just because it "looks good" if a different device can be more beneficial in the end. I know that any of the 3 models can treat my condition, I just have to figure out do I want to be emotionally happy or physically happy.

Do you get airflow waveforms with sleepyhead and the Icon?
