Popular data-capable CPAP machines

Post by McSleepy » Wed Mar 23, 2016 7:42 am

Since my treatment has been figured out and quite stable for years, I do not keep up to date with the current state of CPAP technology, but I know someone who has just been diagnosed and needs to ask the DME to stop fooling around (offering him bricks) and give him a good data-capable machine. Does anyone have a prepared list of such machines so I can recommend something to him, without having to do all the research myself? I'd appreciate that.

You might also look at the ResMed AirCurve series. I am using an AirCurve 10 ASV machine and SleepyHead to read my SD card.
