Reading the data on CPAP machine's card

Post by DrowsyDan » Tue Aug 09, 2011 8:09 pm

I've had a Philips Respironics REMstar Auto A-Flex for about a month. I have a card reader on my PC which will access the files on the CPAP's data card, but other than a single text file (properties.txt) containing the info below, none of the files are readable. Apparently, they are in UDF format, I haven't searched for a program aimed at reading such files yet, I thought I'd see if anyone here knows of a (the?) program specifically aimed at these cpap cards.

TIA

I think that is a PR System One? I believe the official software is Encore 2.0, which can be difficult to get. There is open source software called Onkor and Sleepyhead, do a forum search for more info on these.

Yeah, the 550P is the PR1 Auto.

Dan, if you start a new thread about how to get Encore, someone may be able to help you.

Sleepyhead is still in alpha testing, but if you want to try it, the current thread is here.
viewtopic/t65738/SleepyHead-Qt-v08-alpha.html

Onkor may be your best bet, especially if you just want to take a quick look. It's web based, hence you don't even have to download anything. I believe that Philips has a similar web-based reader, but as it was written by a fellow CPAP user, Onkor is probably superior.

Thanks for the replies. Someone PM'd me some info as well on the Encore Pro 2.4, looks really interesting. Can't wait to check it out. I have an appointment Friday, I'm sure the dr will be impressed to learn I've already seen the data
