Sheeeeesh the DeVilbliss Auto is $300 cheaper than the PR1 Auto.

Do you know anything about which events the Intellipap detects?

I hate the Intellipap water tank though -- I'm currently using the Intellipap Standard (dumb move on my part to get that last year instead of a smart cpap). The tank is a pain to clean since it's full of lots of grooves, and my tanks get that horrible biofilm (due to using demineralized water - I can't get distilled water. don't get me started!).

Add the smart link module into the cost of the Devilbiss..you have to have it to use the software.
Otherwise you are limited to the Smart code thing which won't satisfy you.
Also..make sure you are getting the discounted price for the PR S1. On some of their products there is a discounted price below what is shown.

Let me see if I can find an example of the software reports...It doesn't do flow rate..that I am sure. It's been a while since I have seen one of their reports.

OK no worries Pugsy. I didn't realize that the additional cables were required.

I read some of the reviews and I think I'll go with the PR1 Auto anyway. Yes I'll check with cpap.com what their current price is. Although I won't be able to get it right away, maybe in a few months.

Thanks for all your help.

That's very detailed, thanks Pugsy. And thank you for the reminder to check for the discounted pricing - makes a big difference! PR1 Auto here I come.
