Looking For Card Reader

Post by katoney » Tue Feb 03, 2009 2:48 pm

I have read so many posts about people using a card reader to check their nights sleep. I have only been on a cpap for 4 weeks ,and the place I got my cpap though stated I could go to them anytime and get a reading from my card anytime i like. I this the some thing I would get from a card reading of my own, and if so what kind should I get and how much does this cost? Do you just install this on your computer?

My pressure is 12 and I do use the optilife nose pillow with chin guard and still fill i have links though my mouth. I need your help please.

is the card reader and software bundle I got. You have a Respironics, correct? There are other software and reader bundles for other manufacturers.

Vickie, if you only have a PLUS machine - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE CARD READER AND SOFTWARE.

You will only get the same compliance data you can get off your LED screen.

You need a Pro or an AUTO to get more detailed reports.

Sorry....
