DD & Bob, I clearly have not been following this thread in its detail, and not currently shopping--but wonder if you feel that data available on the machine itself is sufficient for you to have decided to ignore the lack of software available for such an expensive cpap?

I called again. I put an order in this time.
Resmed S9 AutoSet + Humidaire H5i Heated Humidifier with Climate Control + ClimateLine Tubing for S9 and H5i Climate Control System
TOTAL $769
No Tax, Free shipping

I have to wait until Wednesday until it ships as they are out of ClimateLine tubing.
When I called this morning, the price I got was $819.85, for the whole bundle. You got a good deal.

I saw a video with Resmed talking heads. One of them said that the noise level for the S9 machine itself is the same as the S8 II (24dB), but they have reduced the noise which is transmitted through the hose to the mask.

+1 pretty please?

I'm up for one of these, but the software is the only dealbreaker.

In looking back I know my father had undiagnosed sleep apnea and he suffered greatly for it. I WILL NOT go through that. Using a cpap is easy compared to that.

Rob,

I saw that one too - was wondering if they did something to stabilize turbulence - I know SWS has talked about this in the distant past.

Its an updated version of the same software.

Readily available outside the reach of US healthcare regulations......

Cheers,

Bill

And just in case Bill Bolton was too subtle - we can thank the US FDA and the American medical profession lobbyists for that. They consider Americans to be not as intelligent as those in other countries.

I have the Resmed ResScan version 3.10 for the S9 machine.

Whatever it takes

But i understand what you are saying. If i didn't have the software i would not be anywhere near this machine.

Wish I knew a cheap, safe way to get newer software. Now that I use Windows 7, I cant get my ResScan 3.5 (which I had thought was 3.7) to work anymore for downloading my VPAP Auto data.

Check your PMs

ResScan 3.10 is documented as being Vista approved so it will be interesting to hear if it works on Windows 7.
