No data on a Resmed S8
I have bought a CPAP (Resmed S8 autoset) without a prescription based on the claim of my co-sleeper that I am experiencing extremely frequent sleep apnea. After more than a year of very consistent use of my machine I am still not rested when I wake up. I have tried a lot of different settings (various levels of fixed pressure / autoset mode) but my sarch is kind of blind because no data (IA etc) seem to be stored on my machine. I know how to access data in the clinic menu in but the message is always "no data".
Can somebody help ? Thanks in advance.

RE: No data on a Resmed S8
Welcome to the forum Kozyair,
The S8 is pretty old. I don't think it can give you any useful data. Does it give you an AHI reading? Does it tell you what your average pressure is? After a year of using this machine, and not feeling any better, it may be time to do this the right way. See a doctor, and at least get an overnight home study, which is cheaper. You don't even know if you have sleep apnea, and worse, you could have complex apnea which would require a different machine.

Hello Kozyair and welcome to the board. By coming to this forum, you have opened the door to a wealth of experienced sleep apnea folks who will endeavor to assist you with your apnea struggles.
OpalRose has offered what I think, is the most important suggestion at the moment. Your admittance that you are still not rested in the mornings after a year of self imposed sleep therapy leads to the idea that something is not going the way it should. Perhaps a professionally administered sleep study is necessary. A (no data info) machine is sort of like driving a car without a speedometer. You know that you are getting SOME therapy but you don't know how much, and is it correct.

RE: No data on a Resmed S8
S8 AutoSet is full data capable machine display efficacy data ...
pressure, leak, AHI (apnea + hypopnea index), AI (apnea index), and HI (hypopnea index) data In "results", you should see 'usage and efficacy data' as shown in this video (past 8 mins mark) https://vimeo.com/19565675 Also the clinical manual available via Email http://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-pr...tup-manual

RE: No data on a Resmed S8
Thanks to all but my problem is not really addressed by your comments.
So, let's reformulate: The Resmed S8 do have data recording capability. I know how to access them. The problem is that the display says "no data available".

RE: No data on a Resmed S8
I'm real new at this but does your machine need an SD card to report data and does it have the correct one?

RE: No data on a Resmed S8
The S8 doesn't use SD card, it does use smart card
Beside the smart card, you'll also need the smart card reader, can be bit pricey and tricky to find but not impossible |
