Reading Resmed data card

Cool 
Reading Resmed data card
New to Apnea Board Forum, Was wondering can a resmed data card be read with a regular card reader? Or Do have to have the Resmed Card Reader? Only Have 20 more days to produce Compliance Report for My CDL Medical Card. Please help ! Have Only had My Resmed S8 Elite II for two years and now being told it's too old that no one here in B.R. Louisiana can download Compliance report !!

RE: Reading Resmed data card
If you are using the old S8 elite II CPAP, that is some form of proprietary smartcard and requires a special reader and software. If your CDL depends on data and reports, do yourself a favor and buy a modern machine. There is a Respironics Dreamstation Auto for $384, or a Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset for Her for $585 on Amazon. Both are decent deals and very good auto CPAP machines with full data.

As far as reading your legacy machine data card, you might be able to get a local durable medical equipment (DME) that might help, or see if you can just send the card...replace that machine.

RE: Reading Resmed data card
Really would love to, but alas my monetary situation does not allow me to, and my insurance does not seem to want to help! If I could get this report I would at least have a year to work on getting another Machine ! It's strange that just last year I had no problem getting the report and no one ever mentioned it being an old machine! alas you live you learn ! Glad I found this Board, now I know better!!

Do a Google search for this...they are out there for just over $50. Can't link on the forum:

Here is your software for free from the forum http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-...hines-only

Hi Busdriver58,
WELCOME! to the forum.!
Hopefully, you will be able to get a reader for your machine to get your report.
Hang in there for more responses to your post, good luck as you continue CPAP therapy.

Busdriver, I forgot that you can generate an on-screen report on your S8 CPAP. It will report 1-day, 1-week, 1-month, 90 days or 1-year compliance. You could find this report and take a snapshot with a smartphone, or take the machine to someone that can certify the report on your behalf...no cost. You can get a clinical manual which is where the following screenshot comes from, by following the link to CPAP Setup Manuals at the top of this page. http://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-pr...tup-manual The Sleep Report screen (third from left) is the one you need.

This is the advanced screen accessed from the clinical menu. To access the Advanced Info menu, press and hold the Info and Setup buttons for three seconds.
