I wrote them a letter telling them paitents want to use the Encore software but its not available anymore and asked them why.
This is the response I got:

I believe it's important that anyone interested contact them so that they experience the numbers of people who want to be able to read reports for themselves.

CPAPsupply.com does not exist. CPAPUSA.com's website lists Encore Pro but says "Product no longer carried."

I’m confused. I am currently shopping for new software comparable machine, so it will be no longer the case? It will be no machine + software combination available for general use?

Based on the glimmer of hope from the original message I called customer service.

It did not surprise me when they gave the standard answer..."we do not sell the software to end users".

The software is for Provider or Physician use only.

Encore® Pro Software

The improved functionality of the Encore® Pro SmartCard® and the power of Encore Pro software gave us the opportunity to tailor some of Encore Pro's reporting capabilities to specific operating capabilities of different devices. For instance you can program the SmartCard to change the therapy mode of a BiPAP® Pro from bi-level to Bi-FlexTM without ever taking the device in for servicing.

Caution: U.S. federal law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Kind of seems like selling a nice, warm coat.....without zipper or sleeves!

I sure am glad I got the PB stuff!

Well, if I had a current CD of the software, I would share. I only have the older version. If they won't sell it, then other methods have to be utilized. Don't tell me about legalities -- health issues are more important.

Well I sent them an email as the software isn't listed for sale on their website, so I guess we'll see what they have to say.
