Now I know why they don't want patients fiddling with these

I managed to get into the clinical menu on my CPAP last night and noticed the clock was off. When I reset the clock, it erased all my data from the past three months!


Luckily, I just mailed a data card to my DME last week. Live and learn, I guess. At least I was able to enable the "smart start" feature (CPAP automatically starts when you breathe into the mask; stops when you remove it), which was totally worth the ordeal.

Just thought I'd share and warn you other newbies.

That is one of the advantages of using software, we can record our data and not loose it. Jim

If the DME didn't steal our manuels we could have read about that.

Use data to optimize your xPAP treatment!
