Most people have no trouble with a program like Oscar reading the data on the SD card from a Resmed AirSense 11. But a few people have found that if they are not careful when inserting the card into the AirSense 11, some of the data is missing when they try to look at it in Oscar.Dzyan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 3:34 pmCan you tell me more about the problems with the SD card?Dog Slobber wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 1:35 pm[*]Reports of SD Card issues and seating problems resulting in missing detail data
The AirSense 11 has not been around long enough to establish a clear record of reliability. But there are no indications that the AirSense 11 will have any significant reliability problems.My online translator is unable to translate this text. Explain, please, what is meant?Dog Slobber wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 1:35 pm[*]Still doesn't have tan established track history, but no serious red-flags

In the US many patients purchase CPAP equipment through their medical insurance. Typically the patient pays for part of the machine and the insurance company pays for part of the machine. (The better insurance companies may pay for 80% of the cost of the machine.). But in order for the durable medical equipment company to be paid by the insurance company, the patient has to be "compliant" with CPAP therapy. And many durable medical equipment providers are now using a cellular network to directly download data from the AirSense 10 and AirSense 11 CPAP/APAPs that allows them to prove to the insurance company that the patient is using the machine enough to be compliant.Explain, please, why does a СPAP car need a modem?Dog Slobber wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 1:35 pmMany are still sticking with the Air10 as replacement machines, but it is becoming difficult to get one with a modem.
The durable medical equipment providers and some doctors offices can also use the cellular connection to download data to verify that the settings on the CPAP are providing effective treatment, and in some parts of the US, the durable medical equipment providers and doctors offices can make changes to the settings on the machine through the cellular connection and thus reduce the need for the patient to bring the machine back to the place they bought it from.
In the US, the G3 cellular network (our slowest cellular network) was turned off about a year or so ago. And many of the AirSense 10s had been sold with G3 cellular modems in them. And when Resmed ran into problems obtaining enough G4 and/or G5 modems, they focused on putting all the available G4/G5 modems into the AirSense 11 machines. Since AirSense 10 machines all had SD card slots, the AirSense 10 machines without up-to-date cellular modems started being sold as "Card to Cloud" machines. "Card to Cloud" simply means that if the SD card is brought into the durable medical equipment provider or the doctor's office, they can upload the data from the card into Resmed's Cloud storage for CPAP data.
