I found a merchant who says they have the non-CCID version of the ACR38 for sale for $40. They refer to it as the "PCSC" version. I've asked them to verify the hardware id, but does this sound like the correct version?

Thanks

I think its normally abbreviated PC/SC - searching for PC/SC on this forum seems to yield that ResScan will recognize this version of the ACR38 reader.

If it ends up working for you post the merchant's name Sure many others will be interested!

Order placed for "PCSC" version; it was closer to $50 with shipping. I'll post an update when it arrives on whether or not it works with with ResScan. If anyone wants the official ResMed version, I found that CpapClinic in Canada has it for $115 (Canadian dollars) and will ship to the US.

Update - the reader just arrived from Hong Kong and it displays the correct hardware id when I plugged it into my Win7 computer at work. I won't be able to fully test it out until I get home where ResScan is installed, but everything looks good. Here is the merchant information:

eBay seller id: szhcct
auction number: 180561745213
***Important - you must tell them that you want the "PCSC" version and not the "CCID" version since they have both in stock.***

The price is $48 shipped, it took 9 days to arrive from Hong Kong via DHL. Very well packaged, not sure if it's "brand new" or not. Came in a white box with an installation/driver CD with a hand-written label on it. The person who returned my email asking about the PC/SC version is Celilne at licuiying@szhcct.com - she might be able to help make sure you receive the correct version.

Any other questions - please let me know. I have no affiliation with this company, I just found this thread after buying the CCID version and being unable to get it working with ResScan.

If anyone else needs one, here is an auction that claims PC/SC compatibility - $15 buy it now.

I have no idea if this will actually work or not, I just happened to see the auction.

That's the seller I bought my first one from when I discovered the CCID problem. I emailed to see if he had any PC/SC models available and he never bothered to respond.

Lame, the description even says PC/SC You get your money back?

No, the description of the one I bought didn't specify PC/SC or CCID, so can't blame the seller for that...although it would have been nice if he would have offered to swap it out for me or at least responded to my email.

I tried the one I bought from Hong Kong last night, worked fine with ResScan 3.12. Now I just need to find some threads that explain what all these numbers mean. I know that my AHI is where it should be (below 5), but the rest of the numbers I'm not sure about. Seems a little alarming that I had so many "mask events" and leaks. I spot checked a couple of days over the last month and only spotted a few apnea events, the longest lasting 14 seconds.
