OSCAR issue - multiple uploads for same night

I did something that I apparently was not supposed to do, and while this is not a problem for me, I'm posting so that others can avoid the same screw-up.

I woke up last night after sleeping soundly, but only for about 5.5 hours. I remained in bed for another hour, still using CPAP, then gave up and got up, intending to just write off the night as a short sleep. I took the SD card out of my AirSense 11 and uploaded the data to OSCAR, which reported (accurately, I presume) 6:36 and an AHI of 0.31.

But then a couple of hours later, I got drowsy, so II went back to bed. I put the SD card in the AirSense and turned it on. I slept for about an hour and a half. The machine then reported a night of 8:02 and an AHL of 0.2.

I put the SD card back into the reader, and tried to load into OSCAR. It gave ne a message that it already had the night's data, and when I looked at the daily view it still showed 6:36 with an Ahi OF 0.31, with no data from the discontinued session.

Apparently it's one upload per night. I will avoid doing this in the future.

screw-up

You can fix it.

In OSCAR,

Data/Advanced/Purge Current Selected Day/CPAP

Now, put the SD card into your PC and import the data again.

Wow, that worked! Thanks!

OSCAR will normally allow multiple imports of the most recent day. If you wait until the next day to import the rest of the previous day, there might be a problem. But I think even that should work.

Typically, a CPAP "day" runs from Noon until 11:59 AM the next day. I guess if you span the noon cutoff, that this could cause the problem.
