Dreamstation and OSCAR

Post by pikov22 » Fri Aug 23, 2019 11:32 am

Is the Dreamstation data on the SD card compatible with OSCAR? (Apologies if this has been asked before.)

Most models of Dream Station are compatible. I can tell you first hand that mine is.

I'm not sure if the most basic model is compatible and, if not, whether is has an SD card slot anyhow.

The most basic models will all have SD card slots because they all do hours of use needed for compliance requirements.

So if a SD card is in the slot...it will have hours of use but OSCAR and SleepyHead won't be able to show it without the other detailed data files that the basic machines don't record.
One could use Encore Pro with it though.

Now there may come to be a time in the future when machines don't have SD card slots but as of yet...they all do if for no other reason than proving compliance hours of use.

Thanks. I'd like the remind the OP that this only applies to the lowest (most basic) model of Dream Station. The Pro, the Auto, and BiPAP models all are compatible with OSCAR.
