Does this machine have a way to check your ahi and leak rates without using the software? I think it's the 420S.

Only with the software.

I have a 420S and the Silverlining 3 software. I bought the software to monitor my numbers. It records Apneas, Hypopneas, Flow Limitations (AHI, AI and HI) and "acoustic vibrations". It does not record leaks. The numbers are total for each session. You need to have a 420E to get the 96-hour detail reporting.

What he said.

The 420S is a straight cpap, the 420e is an auto.

Silverlining software records leaks, but I have the 420E. Doesn't the 420S record leakage data?

If you want to see what SL3 records for the 420s (when you don't have the machine) - the 420s.pat demo file. (Click on patiient file analysis and the browse through the demos).

No leak reproting for the 420s.

Ok, thanks. My Resmed allows me to check my ahi/ai/hi and leak rate via an LCD screen, and I was just wondering if the Goodknight would display that data on the unit .
