without regard to that, would i potentially cause damage to my machine's card reader if i blew air in there?

I wouldn't think so, just don't blast it with a big compressor or anything

damn! was gonna take out to the garage and strap it down to my workbench.

you're no fun at all!

nope just the canned air.

Just be gentle when you poke the tube in, so you don't hook and possibly bend any of the little fingers that make contact to the sd card.

ended up chasing the dog with the canned air. i'm easily distracted!

sprayed sd card and sd reader input slot, but got the same error message. tried a different, but not new, sd card. once it "prepared" the sd card, saw no error message.

will use this card tonight and see what tomorrow brings. if nothing else, it's a troubleshooting step.

SD cards easily go bad. I use a Toshiba Flashair Card so I don’t have to keep taking the SD card out of my machine but as I use an S9 if I loose power I have to set it up again but it saves me wearing out my SD slot

you know, that might just be the answer. i've been reluctant to buy one because i'm a notoriously cheap so-n-so!

but if it buys me peace of mind, may be worth it.

meanwhile, my "substitute" sd card worked fine this morning. i know that means nothing; it may fail tomorrow for all i know.

we'll see.

• Your device has to be fairly close to your WiFi router, mines about 30 feet and on the same floor.
• Get the cheapest FlashAir available, their storage capacity is well beyond what CPAP devices require.
• Get only versions W-03 or W-04. I'm not sure what new features are supported in W-04 over W-03.
• There are alternative WiFi SD Cards (such as ez Share) to date, I haven't seen anybody report success with them.
• You will need third-party software (FlashPap or Sleep Master) to facilitate moving data from your device to your computer
• Available on Amazon.com

Zonk,

I bought a Toshiba FlashAir, and really like it. Yes, it's pricey but it saves wear and tear on both the SD Card and more importantly the SD Card reader on the CPAP.

If you're going to get one, consider:

• Your device has to be fairly close to your WiFi router, mines about 30 feet and on the same floor.
• Get the cheapest FlashAir available, their storage capacity is well beyond what CPAP devices require.
