I Want SOFTWARE

Post by Lexi'sMom » Sun Jan 07, 2007 4:32 pm

My DME provider is Kaiser in California, and they're pretty rigid about what they will and won't perscribe, and software doesn't seem to be in the formulary. What does it take to get software for the Remstar Plus M Series? I don't even have the smart card port.

It would really make me feel better if I could have data about how much my AHI changes on the machine. Any suggestions?

If you don't have the smart card port it would be impossible to use the software I think!!

The Plus, has no useful info to download, just compliance data. (hours used) Jim

If you have the Plus then all the software in the world isn't going to get you anything more than how many hours you use the machine each night.

For a straight CPAP to get enhanced data you need a Pro M series or Pro 2 classic (tank).

Save your money for a machine that will give data.

(I seem to be repeating myself)

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


Den

(5) REMstar Autos w/C-Flex & (6) REMstar Pro 2 CPAPs w/C-Flex - Pressure Setting = 14 cm.
"Passover" Humidification - ResMed Ultra Mirage FF - Encore Pro w/Card Reader & MyEncore software - Chiroflow pillow
