ResMed Autoset S9
Hi every one
I am going to be setting up software for a friend who just got a new ResMed Autoset S9.
Won't be changing any settings just giving her the ability to read her sleep data after her DME told her it couldn't be done as a patient.
I don't know if ResMed machines are like Respironics that have a million slightly different machines but are all labeled the same (what a night mare that is)
So if it is a ResMed Autoset S9 does this mean it is data compatible?
I was going to bring SleepyHead & ResScan 3.16 SP1 Pdf along with me as well as the ResScan 3.16 SP1 & the ResScan-4.2-Clinician-Manual.
Is there anything I should know that may be a known issue to someone who knows or uses the ResMed Autoset S9?
I will take the software with me on a usb drive but will not be at home will be out of town.
Thanks for any thoughts that will help me be prepared.

dcgrafix, it definetely works on the Resmed S9 Autoset, I have used sleepyhead for a few years, what I found though when I downloaded Rescan for free it wanted to format my simcard and wipe all my data from my card, I lost two days worth and only use sleepyhead now, hope that helps.

All S9 AutoSets are data capable - no monkey business with different model numbers. The monkey business is when DMEs refer to "Escape Auto" simply as "Auto" which can lead some people to think it is the same as an "AutoSet".
A couple things you might already know, but I'll point out anyway.
-Make sure "Sleep Quality" is turned on in the clinical settings of the machine or it won't record all the data.
-Don't install ResMed's drivers when you install ResScan or everything will get all messed up and it won't work.
Heads up on Sleepy Head; it has a glitch with AutoSets where it sometimes doubles data sessions on some days. I'm pretty sure that glitch is just with ResMed machines - but who knows. Either way, you might want to let your friend know to be on the lookout for screwy data.

Hi dcgrafix, Best of luck on helping your friend getting set up with her new machine.

Thanks for all the great advice!!
I will now be able to go in more informed.
I don't mind messing up my data so much but I don't want to mess up some other people's that are still under Prescription & monitored by Sleep doc & or DME so I really appreciate the in-site.
Thanks again for the prompt reply.
This is truly the best CPAP forum!!
