Software Question

Post by shippy » Sun Jan 07, 2007 12:30 pm

I am thinking about purchasing the software and card reader for my machine from cpap.com my Question is. What info would i get from the software is it only compliance info only ? Or would i get other usefull info (performance data) to help me tweak my machine and improve my therapy? I have looked at the info on the cpap.com site for the Encore software for my machine, look's like it is tailored for sleep doc's labs, patient info etc. I don't want to invest the dollar's if its something to just track compliance info only. Any comments, answers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dale

Dale,

If you have the M Series Pro (as shown in your profile), then your machine will give you "all the goodies".....information wise.

You WON'T be disappointed!

Best wishes,

Folks,

I thought it was only the Auto that gave you good data from the card reader. Is that not the case?

EricF, the auto will DEFINATELY get you the goodies (if you mean the good reports). The card reader and software does not come with the unit.

I don't know why people keep getting that impression.......possibly because "Autos" are heavily hyped on this forum......

These four machines (not counting the Bi-PAPs) will give sleep data:

REMstar Auto w/C-Flex ("classic")
REMstar Pro 2 w/C-Flex ("classic")
REMstar M Series Auto w/C-Flex
REMstar M Series Pro w/C-Flex
