SD Card only? - Cwalsh - 07-03-2020

Hello, I am new to this forum and just downloaded the Oscar reporting software ...Does this software only upload data from an SD Card?  My CPAP machine does not have an SD card but uses Bluetooth only....and the reporting is uploaded Daily to my sleep clinic and physician’s office.  Is there any way to extract this data without an SD card?  Thank you for your assistance...

Hi Cwalsh - Welcome

EDIT: In order to transfer the data from your device, you will need an SD card.  This can be a regular card or a Toshiba FlashAir Wi-Fi SD card.  Since you are starting out, I recommend the standard card.  It is far cheaper to purchase and is easier to start getting data into OSCAR. If you don't have one, most big box stores, pharmacies, and online vendors sell them. You don't need one from the manufacturer.

Look to the left of the air filter for your SD card slot.  Depending on your Dreamstation model, the card may record more detailed data than the data being transmitted wirelessly.  If your machine doesn't have an SD card, you may use any card that is 32Gb or smaller.

I found this video on the Philips site:

Remove the humidifier so you don't spill water and look on the bottom for a model number that starts with DSXnnn where nnn are numbers. It is possible your machine has no useful data and that will help. It will have a slot though anyway

Thank you so much for the replies. I did find the SD card!!  I installed it into my Mac and like magic, all the data appeared. This will help a lot. I was impressed with the software.
