Rental Airsense 10 - RERAs, Purchased - None??

Rental Airsense 10 - RERAs, Purchased - None??
Hi all,
Been on a rental Airsense 10 Auto etc for about 6 months. Steadily reporting everything including RERA's - see screenshots.

Finally had enough cash to purchase on .. my new unit does not report RERA's. Now I know its meant to report it only in the "For Her" model .. but my rental is very clearly a black "For him" model, no other settings in clinical, no "for her" mode etc.

So .. its clear there is a software, setting or something that has a standard Airsense 10 reporting RERAs. Both Rental and Purchased machines where in Australia, from Australian stock etc.

Rental - showing RERA's
   

Purchased - not showing RERA's
   

PS. I am aware of the other issues, LEAKS etc.. so yeah working on that... but concerned that I has given a new machine that did not have the same abilities as what I was lead to believe it had via using the rental.

G'day Druid

If I remember rightly, the original A10 didn't report RERAs but this feature was added later. It's possible the machine you purchased is the older version.

DruiD,
If you haven't had your machine for long, try returning it on the basis that they said it would report RERAs and dosen't.

Thanks all, have emailed the provider, my machine is a week old - and manufactured this year.... so weird it doesnt have it.
Could just be a software upgrade thing.

Rem52 - assuming your was the standard edition, not 'for her'?

Hi DruiD.
I think you will find that rental units in Australia are actually the For Her machine innards inside a black case. You can confirm this by the different screen colours and the fact that rental units have a For Her pressure setting. The commercially available units relect the colour of the casing.

Now that you mention it, I think the rental did have a purple screen. I didn't think to check for "for her" - its now returned when I purchased mine, so cant check now. The shop has said "return it to the shop as the units are identical and we should be able to change a setting". Hope so, be annoyed if have been sold something not like for like.

I just purchased a new AirSense 10 Black case that has a For her setting. The problem that I have on my firet nights try is that the SD card has no data. It was made in Australia. Any ideas, Thanks

I want to add that I have been using the Dreamstation and not had any problem getting data for Sleepyhead.

I may have found out something. I changed out the SD card with another and had the AirSense 10 Format it and now Sleepyhead finds it. I will try it tonight and see if I get any data.Okay
