Accessing CPAP Data

Post by 55Kevy » Tue Jun 10, 2014 7:28 pm

New poster here, long time CPAP user.

After discovering this site (for the last 20 years I've used a CPAP without any difficulty and felt no need for support) I took a closer look at my CPAP which is a Phillip REMstar Plus C-Flex which I acquired from Apria a little over a year ago. Previously had used a Goodknight model that I can't remember (traveled really well - took it all over the world while I was living overseas). Anyhoo... I found that the machine had an SD card in it. When I plugged it into my card reader there is data, but of a file type that I've not seen before, with a .000 extension. Is there software I can download that would access and analyze these data? The Phillips website is useless.

Thanks,

Kevin

That model PR S1 only collects hours of use data and that's all that the xxx.000 file contains.
To have useful efficacy data you need file types xxx.001, xxx.002 and xxx.005.
You can use SleepyHead or Encore but other than hours of use each night there is nothing else for the software to show you..
No leak, no AHI, no nothing. You have what we not so lovingly call a brick.

Probably you have either model 250 or the newer 260 machine and you need model 450/460 or higher to have any useful data available to you.
