Hello and looking for information

Post by Wisewoody » Wed Sep 24, 2014 5:40 pm

Hello,

I have been to CPAPtalk.com a few times in the past and found the information very helpful. I never joined until today. I bought my first CPAP machine back in 2008 and still use it today. It took me a long time to get used to it and I quit using it all together for some time. I only sent my ResScan card in one time and have not had any follow up with the Dr. other then to purchase new masks and supplies. I have been using it regularly now the last few years. My maching was set to CPAP and a pressure of 11. In the last few months I purchased a new mask and have been experimenting with my machine on APAP. ( not really knowing what I am doing of coarse ) I have read several post about reading and tracking data but have not done so.

Anyways, I am wanting to get more involved with my sleep health. I am looking to purchase a new machine and really find out if I am getting the most out of my treatment. I am looking at the RedMed AirSense 10 Autoset only because I have had no issues with my current machine and it is the newest model out. How do I get started reviewing my data and knowing what I'm looking at?

Thank you in advance.

all depends on what machine you're using now.

the equipment section here is more of a marketing tool, if they don't current sell it, then it doesn't show up.
best to put the eq in your sig, or additional comments.

I think the s8 autoset does have data capability, but requires either a special data cable or a special reader, and only works with resscan sw.

the s9's and the as10's have a SD card and work with resscan or sleepyhead (soon for the as10)
