Can I use the same SD card in 2 different machines?

Post by tj1616 » Tue Aug 08, 2023 8:52 am

I have an AirSense 11 and am about to get my long awaited Dream Station Go replacement. I don't want to lose track of my travel hours, as I don't want my insurance company to claim I'm noncompliant. Could I switch the same SD card back and forth so I can show continuous use? One is Philips and the other ResMed.

ResMed (post S9) and Philips data will co-exist on the same SD Card, but it will confuse OSCAR when when you want to import it.

Get a second card and keep one in the ResMed and the other in the Go.

Importing ResMed and DreamStation into the same OSCAR profile can also cause problems.

How is your compliance currently reported to your insurance company? My DME downloads the data from the ResMed server and reports it to my insurance company once per year and on request from the insurance company if they request it with any claim. My SD card is not involved in this process.
