So um...

[bt]

What's the software do? Do I need it?

I have a SleepStyle 200 machine.

What about travel? How can I camp with this?

hi bt,

Sorry your questions haven't gotten a response. Maybe there aren't many people reading who actually have the same machine you have.

I went to Fisher & Paykel's page about their 200 series machines:

http://www.fphcare.com/osa/cpapi.asp

bt, as far as I know, none of the Fisher & Paykel cpap machines give any data via software except "hours of use" (compliance.) So, no...you don't need software for your machine. Software for an F&P machine wouldn't give you any useful data at all.

That's not saying you have a bad machine. Any straight cpap can give good treatment to most OSA sufferers. The mask is usually more of a problem in cpap treatment than "which machine" a person has. Hope the nightly therapy is helping you and that you have a comfy mask.

Here's a clickable link to interesting topics about taking CPAPs camping, battery operation, etc:

Good luck and welcome to the board!
