I knew ResScan wouldn't have any detailed graphs but I wanted you to compare the summary data on like the SleepyHead report with no detailed data and see what the summary data showed in ResScan for that same date.

The ones with the detailed graphs will match.
It's the nights with no detailed data graphs that I want you to compare the AHI and the event category breakdown in SH and ResScan.

I downloaded ResScan and it didn't have any detail data either :=(

Here is the detail of an OA - they all look like this on the flowrate graph- a sort of heartbeat pattern, then a flat piece and at the end of the flat piece the OA.

No If there is o data recorded on the card there is not data. However, ResScan has the ability to read a file type that can be recorded onto the SD card after the night is over and therefore can give an accurate AHI when no detailed data was collected. What were the AHI for the nights lacking detailed data?

The S9 writes the summary statistics to the internal memory on the machine and that's what ResCan gets once a SD card gets inserted into the machine.

From my own past personal experience with the S9....the data that goes to the internal memory that ResCan can handle and show isn't always exactly the same as what SH shows when there are no detailed files available.

SleepyHead needs the detailed files to be 100% accurate but the internal memory data that doesn't involve the detailed files can be accurately read by ResScan.
The nights where the SD card was in my computer and thus no detailed files on the SD card....the AHI in SH and ResScan didn't match.
Weren't off by a lot but they didn't match.
This has been verified by others and discussed in the past.
