SD card question
Will any SD card work in my Respironics CPAP machine. When I got my new Wisp mask the tech wanted the chip to download for the doctor and promised to send it back in 2 days. It has been a week and I don't know if the new mask is working as well without the data to check it.
Re: SD card question
Yes, any generic SD card will work in the PR S1 machine.
You may not be able to find the smaller 1 GB card and may only be able to find a 4 GB card...that's okay. Bigger will work just fine.
I got a 2 GB Sandisk card at Walmart for mine a while back. Not sure they still offer 2 GBs now but it doesn't hurt to go bigger.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
Re: SD card question
I've used 2 and 4 GB cards which worked well.
I would be cautious with the really big capacity SD cards.

Re: SD card question
every card, every size, every capacity, even microcards in the adapter work. basically if it fits in the slot, it will work.

Re: SD card question
This has NOT been true for me. My PR System One (50 series) balks if I stick in the newer SDHC cards. It only works with the older plain SD cards. And those plain SD cards (which usually have 1-4 Gig of room) are getting harder and harder to find.greatunclebill wrote:every card, every size, every capacity, even microcards in the adapter work. basically if it fits in the slot, it will work.

Re: SD card question
Just a guess, but I think it might depend on how old the machine is. The newer it is, the more likely it's card drive will work with a 4GB or greater SDHC card. For example, my ResMed S9 is 2 years old, and won't work with SDHC, but I believe the others with newer S9s will work with SDHC.
Update: After looking at some old posts, I couldn't remember for sure if an SDHC card worked for me or not. I put a 4GB SDHC card in the machine, and it's had the "Erasing Card" message going for 10 minutes. I'll give it some more time to see if anything happens.
Update Again: Looks like I was wrong. It succeeded in formatting the SDHC card. Looks like I didn't contribute much to this thread

Re: SD card question
When I got the new card and put it in to download it worked but I found that I lost a month of data from before the chip was taken out.
I had taken the machine on vacation and the only thing I can figure happened is that the chip wasn't clicked all the way in from transporting it and I didn't realize it until I put the new one in. Could there be any other reason? The new chip starts from when I put it in after I got the answers from you all about getting my own SD card to replace the one the tech never sent back.
