Resmed S8 Auto menus

Post by patfia » Mon Sep 11, 2006 8:11 pm

Just got a new S8 Auto Vantage. Has been set up for simple menus on LCD panel. Any advice on how to set for LCD panel detailed menus and how to find data other than hours used in those menus? I've been pushing buttons and reading the manual with no results. Machine did not come with a data card and I don't have the software. Based on user review posted on cpap.com product page, I believed that software/card were not necessary and that data could be read from the LCD panel.

Thank you.

I don't have the auto (I have the Elite, straight CPAP), but on my machine if you hold the "left" and "right" buttons simultaneously for about 3 seconds, you will enter the "efficacy menu" where you can get pressure, leakage, AHI, AI and HI info. "Right" and "down" will put you into "clinical menu"; you can change critical operating parameters here. If you go in clinical, I'd make sure to write down your current settings first. Ken
