S mode

So I woke up choking last night. My ahi was over 3 it usually is under 1. My vauto was set to s mode. No one touched it or changed anything. Its a several step process to get it to s mode starting with the secret handshake to get into the settings. How could this have happened ? Any ideas ?

How close are you to Roswell, NM?

Do you have the machine in airplane mode?
I can't imagine anyone at the DME going to all the trouble to change the settings via the interweb.

Walk into the DME, . . .
EDIT: Oops! LSAT sold it--my bad.

You should be able to look at your previous OSCAR daily graphs to see if/when your device was changed from VAuto to S mode. The S mode will be fixed pressure.

Walk into the DME, and demand to speak to the highest mucky-muck in the place.
Without profanity or physical threats, INSIST they leave your settings ALONE.
OR ELSE! (The AMA, Medicare, FDA, or Lawyers--shudder)
If they deny meddling, suggest you might have a defective machine--
Which "MUST BE REPLACED!"

As I recall, Dino bought her VAuto from LSAT, so I don't think a DME is involved. If that was the case, it would be unknown what DME.

then obviously it's the fault of that devious lsat!


iirc, she got it from lsat.

So, the change is purely internal or an unknown 3rd party in the past.
(Maybe even Resmed, in their infinite greed)
Best to just change the settings back and use airplane mode to prevent
"Ghost adjustments".
Hope it doesn't need service--like acbio.com, but worth it, if needed.

ResMed the company won't do any machine setting changes. ResMed won't know if the settings are what the doctor ordered or not. They simply don't monitor that sort of stuff for that reason.
ResMed itself actually quits monitoring any machine serial number that goes over 6 months from the last time it called home to report anything.

DMEs are the ones that might force a change using the internet connection. Though I just can't see a DME caring that much after the length of time babydino has had the machine that she didn't even get from a DME (if she did buy this machine from lsat). There's nothing in it for the DME and we all know that they simply don't do something unless there is something in it for them.

But I would make sure the machine is in airplane mode for sure and THEN if it does go changing itself again to a different mode then I would be wondering if maybe something weird is going on with the internal software of the machine and make sure my back up machine was in good working order.

Or set a nanny cam to watch the machine just in case my alien friends are up to their old tricks again.

You remember the Ukrainian tractor dealership that was looted by the Russians?
Either the dealer or John Deere hit the "OnStar button".
The thieves have tons of unusable junk.
Once access is had, it never is deleted--saved for a rainy day--or whatever.
Maybe even somebody's last day--after getting canned.
Or maybe brilliant work by the family cat.

Sorry guys was at work. This is in fact my back up machine. Not the one from the DME. I am not near Roswell. Lol. But valid idea. Maybe the work of those strange lights over phoenix that we occasionally get. We had a house fire 2 + weeks ago and are in a hotel. My hubby is here while I was at work tho and no maids in yesterday. He can barely get the tv to work so I'm pretty sure he didn't mess with it. I've been checking my numbers on the screen every morning so I know that it was just fine before now. I don't know what happened its likely to remain forever a mystery.

Actually I did sell her one in 2018....

Yes and its worked perfectly. This was just some random weird event, its been that kind of last few weeks. Starting with a melting heat gun that was turned off and we know this because its melted in the off position. I was just getting over the shell shock of 2020-2021 nightmare and now I'm walking around shell shocked again. Repeating my mantra "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger". I sure wish I knew what I did to tick off the aliens.

Woke up to my machine being in s mode again. Wtf ? Should I put it in airplane mode ?

Can you import from the SD card into OSCAR??? Use a new profile just so you can see the Statistics page and down at the bottom the "changes to device setting" log for this machine only. Idea being to see if the change is documented and when it occurred.

I would definitely put it in airplane mode though...that would essentially eliminate any chance of anyone sending out remote changes should it happen again. While I think that it just doesn't make sense that some DME is messing with settings after this length of time...not impossible I suppose.

If it is in airplane mode and it again changes from auto mode to S mode and you know you didn't do it. Something weird is going on with the machine itself.

I would import sd card into oscar if I had my computer. Sadly everything except a few clothes, my back up machine (which this is) and my phone are all still packed up and being taken care of by the restoration company. I will put it into airplane mode tonight to see if that stops it. (Crossing fingers ).

Yup, definitely put it into Airplane mode.

As Pugsy suggested, this can help to determine if it's being done remotely or it's a glitch.

Should we determine that it is being done remotely, permanently disconnecting the modem is easy to do and you don't have to deal with airplane mode.
