You can purchase an SD card at Walmart. Any SD card will work. You do not need to wait to talk to your doctor before you find out you are doing. The main purpose of the three month check is to verify you are using the machine so your insurance company will continue to pay for it. Your doctor may or may not make changes to your therapy at that time. If he considers your treatment to be adequate (AHI less than 5), he will probably say you are doing good, keep doing what you've been doing. Your machine sends data to Resmed through the cellular phone system.

So, I downloaded Sleepyhead to try it out and went to get the SD card from my machine and there wasn't one....?!!!

How does it transmit the information to the ResMed Air app without one?
Because... it doesn't... need one to transmit.

By sticking an SD card in yourself.
Not to nitpick because I am usually the one making the grammar errors but I am gonna. :lol: It shoud read "By sticking an SD card in, yourself. " Otherwise it sounds like your being mean and I don't think you meant it to sound like that.

I wonder what the DME does with all the SD cards they pull from the machines? Perhaps they are selling them on Ebay.

If you go back and ask them about the cards, they will gladly sell you one at an inflated price.

I'm not going near the SD Card insertion comments, some people still haven't forgiven me for the top drawer comment.

Might consider a hybrid-style FFM like the one I wear (click on it in my signature to view). They have pillows and cover the mouth meaning you can breathe thru your nose or mouth without losing therapy air. Mine comes with 3 sizes of pillows and 3 sizes of oral cushions,
ResMed S9 range 9.8-17, RespCare Hybrid FFM
Never, never, never, never say never.
