Questions??? Smart Card Print Out

[SleepyHead09]

i got a print out today for my doctor appt on friday. there is a couple of things on there that i am concerned about it says there is 1 day with out device useage, which is not true there has not been one night that i have not wore it since starting cpap. it also says ppercent of days with less then 4 hours. i wear it from the time i lay down till the time i get up in the moring.

Did you forget to put the card in one day? I did that once and, of course, there was a day missing. Or, it could just have fouled up. Many people say they lose data sometimes. I have not had that happen yet (knock on wood...).

I would not worry too much about losing one day. If it starts saying you did not use it at all, then I would worry! But, I want credit for putting up with this stuff, too. So, I don't want it to lose my data!

Good luck!

no i did not leave my card out, i leave it in only time it have been taken out was once the rt took it out to read the card and put it back in then i took it out today, to have it red. my husband brought up a point there was one day i did not go to bed till about 12am, got up at 5:30am. could that make you miss a day?

On a few occasions I go to bed after midnight. The machine does not record a session for that calendar day. I will look at an old report, one were I put the machine ON after midnight and see how the data is recorded. But, right now I am getting ready to turn the lights off and get some sleep.
Glad you are reading the card and paying attention to what is going on while you are sleeping. This is very important and vital to getting the best therapy.

Someone with more knowledge will jump in here, but many have reported this machine losing data if the card isn't reformatted on a regular (i.e., weekly) basis. I don't know if this is what caused your missing day or not.

Respironics default for the day is from midnite -midnite. If the machine wasn't used during that period it would be a reason. It could be the Missing Data problem too. 1 day is no biggie.

The hours of use data can be retrieved right from the machine LCD also. So I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.
