Resmed VPAP question
I was supplied a Resmed VPAP S Easy-Breathe model machine yesterday by the DME and which I used for the first time last night. It's not a bad machine; it was quiet and I got used to the rhythm of the inhale-exhale pressures quite soon. I can see some very basic information: including the percentage as to AHIs (2.1), whether or not the mask was okay for leaks (I got a smiley face, which indicates mask was okay as far as leaks were concerned), and how many hours the machine was used. Like I said very basic information.
I just read some posts on Resmed VPAP Auto and I'm wondering if I missed the boat accepting this machine. I am especially concerned that I might not be able to download the information via Rescan or Sleepyhead.
Did I make a big mistake? If I did, do you think I can rectify it?

I would think that you got a VPAP prescribed for a good reason.
(hopefully not that it is more expensive than most)
I think someone will have an answer to your software question though.

I use the S9 and it has a "mask fit" function selectable from the front panel.
All that does is run up the pressure to maximum setting for a few minutes so you can check for leaks.
I would think the VPAP would also have that function as well.
Maybe there is a manual or user guide that mentions the best way to check for leaks this way?
Hmmm...*checking around*
It seems that model has been discontinued.
Can anyone else shed some light on this?

Thank you for this information. I will proceed to get an SD reader.
