I want to go to Europe and get one next year.
USA testing begins Dec 6, 2013 (recruiting is closed)

Surely, you can find one closer than Europe.

That would be a blessing... but I'll wait to pass judgement.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Hopefully, the accuracy will be useful for T1's who need to test multiple times.
Also pediatric, and brittle cases.

Wouldn't it be cool if the device could also measure SaO2, and stay on the earlobe so that you could wear it all night. Oh, and it would have to have a recording function that would link into SleepyHead as well!

Just suggesting ideas for future development. It's very cool as it is!

And here I was looking forward to telling you that some of us are just gifted and others are not! .. ..
It's amazing how the science continues to advance. Thanks for the update.

This thread seems to be going the way of the toilet paper thread.

give this 3-5 years and the sensor will be half the size. be bluetooth enabled and watching your glucose 02 sat and who knows what else. actually can you imagine how helpful the granularity of 1-5 minit glucose testing might be for researcher...
