Last night was much better I think the leak is high today because I took mask off this morning before shutting off machine. I had a little rain and it startled me awake and I had to get the mask off now. Lol. I really want to see all the cool data you guys get. Going to make a point to stop at the store for an sd card. How much memory should it have ?

Todays numbers
7.7 hrs
Pressure 16.6
exp pressure 12.6
Leak 35l/m
Spont cycl 95%
ahi .6
Total ai .2
Central 0

the smallest(and thus cheapest!) sd card will work. doesn't take a lot of memory to store the data.

The SD Card can be any size from 2GB to 32GB the cheapest you can find in the store just make sure it’s a full size SD card unless you get one with an adapter to suit

Sometimes due to supply and demand, the smallest isn't the cheapest. In that case, get the cheapest!

I wasn't sure how long a GB of storage would last on the machine I have now, so to make sure, got a 32 GB one, not too expensive. Extrapolating out, should be good for around... 900 weeks of data :mrgreen:

It'd be nice if a machine lasted that long.

So instead of getting a sd card for my machine this is what I wound up doing. A matched set one for each side. Thanks doc. I had trouble sleeping before. Now I am going to wind up with black eyes when I wake up panicked and try to pull my mask off. 😂 ignore the photo bomber.

The bad thing is, your machine came from the factory with an SD card. The DME probably took it.

When I got my machine, I saw mine take the card and insisted I needed it because my doctor told me to bring in the SD card on my next visit. He then gave me the card. He opened my P10 fit kit and took out 2 pillows, throwing then into a desk drawer claiming insurance only paid for one pillow. I would hate to get a pillow that has been floating around an open desk drawer... :(

Yes, I’ve come to figure out they must have kept it, why, I don’t know: the one I bought is < $30 and I got it that large just in an over abundance of caution in not wanting to lose data or need a new card. I have no idea how’d they resell them to make money: perhaps someone is palming them for personal cameras? Before this, I’d never used one, didn’t have a reason.

Thanks all, I had wondered if they did that. I have an instruction card with no sd card but a slot for it. I figured they stole it. My DME really sucks !

I wore one of the wrist splints but left the other off. I really was afraid to knock myself out. But it seemed to go ok. Maybe I will try both tonight.


Here are my numbers for today :

Hrs 17.9
Press. 17.8
Exp Press 13.8
Leak 28l/m
Spont cyc 97.5
Ahi 4.9
Ai 2.1
Central .2

Yes, that's it.

I'd raise your minepap to 8..

Also, since there's very little snore and flow limitation activity, you could make the flow, pressure and leaks charts bigger.

Well done on the chart.

"I'd raise your minepap to 8.."

How do I do that ?

"Also, since there's very little snore and flow limitation activity, you could make the flow, pressure and leaks charts bigger. "

That I can do. :)

"Well done on the chart."

Thank you! Husband set me up with a laptop and I
followed the sticky's at the top of this page. :)

Nip over to apneaboard.com, there's a link at the top of the page with instructions on how to request the clinical manual for your machine via email.
