Will be going for second test hopefully I will sleep and a titration will take place so I can get this over with. called the DME my wife got her resmed at 5 years ago and they are handling respironics now which I do not have a problem with.

Moreso than which brand of machine you get, the important thing imho is to get a machine that can provide AHI/Leak data...not just "hours of use" compliance info.

My list of machines that record "full data" (AHI and leak info) and those that don't -- updated through Oct. 2009:

DME might not understand what "Full data" is.

I knew one of the regulars would have the right links at hand. I might have known it would be you, rested gal! Thanks for providing spot-on advice.
