Data card and spreadsheet

Post by Bearcat42 » Sun Dec 06, 2009 8:32 pm

I have been on CPAP since early April of this year. I have a card reader and software for my machine and I have downloaded,at various times,all of my information from my card.

About a week ago I started to create a spreadsheet and I have entered all of my data on it. I have noticed,since getting my data entered that my machine has not been recording data as it should be. I have categories for Apneas and hypopneas with another for the AHI's and for some reason I am missing alot of this information. I have almost all of my usage data as well as mask leak information but am seriously lacking the important stuff I need to see how certain changes are effecting my numbers.

I am thinking of erasing my card and starting it fresh. Would this help or do I need a new card? Thanks

Mine was not a BiPap but the only way I could keep my "M" Series from losing data was to erase it every Saturday morning. As soon as it filled out the 7 days of detailed data it would start to loos a day or two on a random basis.

After 2 years, my card finally went nuts. Using the Card Utility from mycpap.org, I copied the card to my PC, then reformatted the card and copied the data from the PC back to the card. All is well once more and I did not lose any data.
