I'm a bit of a data geek and would love to know how to get my hands on some numbers...for further analysis
I have a ResMed S8 Elite and I notice that when I scroll through the menus on screen I get NOTHING. Ok, so maybe I get the number of hours I've used the machine, but what does that tell me?!
I'm guessing that I need a card reader and software? If I get those, will I be able to get information off the S8 Elite that will tell me how I've been doing? At this point, two weeks in, I have no idea whether the CPAP is making a difference or not. I don't even know if I'm having problems with leaks....

Wow! That worked perfectly!
Thanks Linda.
Now, my question is - what do the following mean? Are they good or bad?
Day:
Leak: 0.32 L/s
AHI: 6.2
AI: 1.9
HI: 4.3
Week:
Leak: 0.04 L/s
AHI: 6.2
AI: 1.2
HI: 5.2
It's interesting that although it appears that last night had higher leaks, the AHI didn't change. Judging from the fact that my AHI is above 5, it looks like I may need to change something... ARG. My pressure is already at 11!
Thanks!

Increase your pressure 1 cm at a time and for about a week at a time to review results.
If you're already at 11, I would suggest bumping it up to 12.
