I didn't plan for a power failure

I've been using the mask for about 6 weeks now and have gotten used to wearing it. I'm using a Mirage Quattro full-face mask and seem to have all the leaks taken care of. But last night I was sound asleep when my wife woke me up, flashlight in hand. It was 2:15 a.m. and we had a power failure. I tho...

Re: How do I get data out of my CPAP device?

Pugsy, I used to have a program that would take screen shots, but lost it when I moved to a new computer. What do you use for taking screen shots?

Re: How do I get data out of my CPAP device?

The second sleep over was using the improperly fitted mask and the CPAP machine. The first sleep over was without the mask. I still find it strange that from the beginning of using the home VPAP machine, my AHI has always been in the 3 to 5 range, when it was 68.0 on the first sleep over. I'll be se...

Re: How do I get data out of my CPAP device?

Jeff, I got both SleepyHead and ResScan installed today. SleepyHead ran without a problem, but, as you suggested, when I ran ResScan I could not designate where to get the data. So I plugged the SD Card and its Reader in the USB port and ResScan found it. (I've been a programmer at a major computer ...

Re: How do I get data out of my CPAP device?

First, many thanks for all of you who took the time to answer. Your comments are all very valuable to me. Second, I was wrong!! The Modem is plugged into its own slot. There is another slot, not all that obvious to Dummies, for the SD Card. Last night I plugged in the Card the Home Care Company gave...

Re: How do I get data out of my CPAP device?

From my experience: 1. If you insert and SD card, it will download the summary data that is already in the machine, but not the detail data. 2. Sleepyhead uses the detail data, not the summary data. Rescan will report both. 3. You have to use one of the older low capacity SD cards (1 or 2 gigs), no...

How do I get data out of my CPAP device?

I have been using a ResMed VPAP Auto, Series 9 device with an H5i Heated Humidifier for about 5 weeks. The Home Care Company that brought it also installed a Modem (where the SD Card normally goes) that connects via celltower to their home office. I understand they periodically call my machine and d...

Leaking mask is LOUD

The Sleep Center did not measure me for the mask and gave me a Medium and it was very uncomfortable. Later, the home care provider therapist said I needed a Large and gave me a Philips Comfort Full 2. It is comfortable. I'm using a ResMed VPAP Auto S9 machine. After a couple of hours sleep, the mask...
