I don't believe that there are any recent model automatics that are not data capable.
Please stop posting things you know nothing about... so, in essence, please stop posting.

IS there a list of machines that are data capable?
Probably not every model in the world but covers the most commonly used ones by most members of the forum.

oh! right here on our very own forum. handy!!

now perhaps i can remember that i have it book marked. i just HATE it when i'm the first to welcome someone, suggest putting up data and then the next poster tells me it's not a data capable machine. :(

thanks.
That's (part of) the reason why I made that table :)

Depending on what your DME and sleep doctor and what your insurance covers. You should be able to
Get a new cpap every 5 years. I have had my machine about 7 years now.

I currently have 10yo Respironics RESmed Auto A-flex M-series. I have not been sleeping as well for about a year. I think the machine needs replacing. My sleep study is 14yo. Should I get a new sleep study? I have annual physical in Oct. if I choose to replace my machine what model would be similar? I have had 9 good years with current CPAP.
Without seeing the full data, if it runs, how do you know it's not running correctly? I have three of the machines before yours all 14 years old, all working correctly, but they are "Tanks", I chose to keep using them because they still work correctly, the data shows that they are, and having 3 it's no bother to break out one from storage if Murphy Strikes.

I am sure most XPAPS made today will be in the landfill before mine. However always have a backup plan, or two. :lol: Jim
