remstar m series readings.

Post by rich11grav » Sun Jun 14, 2009 2:08 pm

Can anyone tell me how to find the readings on my display for apneas totals during the night or leak rate? I dont have these on my readout, is it possible that my maching was not set up with these when they sent me home with the machine, maybe disabled?

Rich-

The data available on the display, when your machine is set-up for you to view it, only gives 7 day and 30 day averages not daily numbers. To get daily numbers you have to have a "Smartcard", a reader, and Encore software.

There are several threads on this site that give instruction on how to reset those features on your machine.

My machine was not set-up for me to see them when i got it. I don't know why any RT or DME would think that the patient should not have that information available. I have since changed those settings, as well as purchased the card reader and software. I find that tracking my numbers helps me - even if only psycologically. At least I now feel I am an active participant in my treatment.

Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress. If you can't find the threads, PM me.

Which REMstar M series do you have? The REMstar M series plus, the machine I have, unfortunately only has compliance data and wont show leak or AHI data.

You have to have have a "M" Pro or Auto to get any data other than how many hours it is turned on. I you have one of these let us know and we can provide the information for you.
