Respironics Smart card data question

OK, I got my smart card reader all working last night.

I imported my Data into Encore Pro v1.8 and viewed the report.

It looks like general compliance data is collected and saved for a long time, but the detailed daily data is only retained for a few days?

I only got 2 or 3 days of detailed daily data.

I guess I need to download the data every couple of days to capture everything? Should I clear the card after I download, or just let it keep rolling? I didn't know if I'd get overlapping data if I didn't clear the card.

I also used the Encore Analyzer and played around with that.

I discovered I snore alot right before I wake up.

I bumped my pressure up 0.5cm last night to see if that has any effect.

Thanks!

yes, it is rolling data, with just the last few days of details.

I download daily, no problem of overlap as long as you specify yourself each time. I don't clear the card. I make sure that RETURN CARD TO SAME PATIENT is marked yes (or whatever it is...)

Just play with it, you aren't going to hurt anything that can't be fixed at this point.
