Which PR System One REMstar Pro CPAP do I have?

How can I tell which REMstar Pro CPAP I have?
I just got it from my DME.
I'm worried they may not have given me the latest model because it does not say 60 Series anywhere on the machine, nor in the manual nor in any of the DME paperwork.
And, there appears to be several REMstar Pro CPAPs out there.

Here's the actual Info from my machine . . .

The TOP of the cpap says:
Philips
Respironics
REMstar Pro C-Flex+
System One

and the BOTTOM of the cpap has a TAG which says:
REMstar Pro, DOM
REF 460P
SN . . .
REV 01
3.XX
2014-03-28

so my questions are:
1. How can I tell which REMstar Pro CPAP I have?
2. What is the difference between the https://www.cpap.com/productpage/pr-sys ... chine.html and the https://www.cpap.com/productpage/respir ... utoiq.html
3. Which is the newest model REMstar Pro CPAP?
4. If you have a REMstar Pro CPAP, which model do you have and what does it say on your machine top and bottom?

Thanks so much!

You have a model 460. See colored line above.

You have the 460 model...the 60 part of the number means 60 series. The model number on the bottom of the blower until never lies.
They didn't put "50" series on those machines either. It's just something we learn with the model numbers. 50 series machines came out in early 2010...the 60 series machine were released a couple of years ago mainly to compete with the S9 Climateline heated hose...so you have the most current model.

You may or may not have the optional needed equipment to use a heated hose.
The lid on the humidifier must have a little connection available for electric connecting to those...and the power supply for the entire unit must say 80 watts on it...
The heated hose humidifier unit is considered an option...and not all 60 series humidifiers have the heated hose lid or power supply but it is easily added.

I find PR's nomenclature system very confusing. But in light of my ongoing "conspiracy theory" in which PR strives to keep the actual patient in the dark, it's not surprising. For instance, all 3 of my System One machines say 760P on the bottom for a model number. But nowhere else have I seen the "P", it's usually an "S"-but they appear to be the same machine. Further, I always see these machines referred to as "Remstar". Nowhere on my machines does the word "Remstar" appear, and two of mine are new as of this morning having been produced in Feb. of this year.

Thanks Pugsy! You are always right on point with the essential information.

Since, "the 60 part of the number means 60 series" I guess the PR System One REMstar Pro CPAP Machine with AutoIQ is probably a Series 50 since cpap.com identifies it as Item #DS450SAutoIQ-AH450S https://www.cpap.com/productpage/respir ... utoiq.html

Thanks for the additional info about the heated hose requirements. Based on your info, I did not receive the optional needed equipment to use a heated hose and I have a 60 watt power supply. I'm not sure if I would benefit from it since I do not see condensation in my current tube. Yet, it seems like it might be more hygienic by keeping the tube surface a little dryer which may be relevant since I rarely wash my tubing. I just "blow dry" it out after each use running the cpap without humidification and wash it a few times a year whether it needs it or not.

You can always add the heated hose adapter kit later if you end up wanting it or needing it.
Condensation in the hose is primarily something that pops up more in winter when bedroom temps are a lot cooler so it may or may not be a problem later. It depends on bedroom temps and humidity delivered mainly. If you like a warm bedroom unlikely to have a problem but if you are like me and like cold bedroom temp...might have an issues.
Even then if only minor there are other things which can be done to lessen the condensation.

And yes..the Auto IQ is a 50 series machine...it was a Pro machine that did some limited APAP mode...they don't make the Auto IQ anymore (and call it that) but your model 460 has the same limited APAP functions which is I think 30 days of APAP use with 5 potential resets of that 30 days (involves erasing all other data on the machine though so not to be done lightly).
So your 460 does all the Auto IQ did plus more.

One other plus for the heated hose especially in winter even if rain out isn't a problem. Sometimes the air coming to the nose/face is a bit cold even with max humidity setting. I call it ice cube nose....I had it and it was so uncomfortable that it woke me up often during the night and anything that disturbs sleep has to go.
So using the heated hose allowed me to warm the air up going to my nose which made things a lot nicer in terms of comfort with air temps. I use a heated hose in the summer too. I just turn the temp down as I like the air cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter but I like the same level of humidity all year long (which is pretty much a max humidity).
Otherwise to adjust the potential air temp in the summer I would have to also decrease humidity levels and my nose doesn't like that.
