Marked improvement with Evora , - BUT

RE: Ianfernie - Cpap Therapy
Welcome to the forum.

The first thing that you want to do is to download OSCAR and get an SD card.  See OSCAR above on the forum home page for info for downloading etc.  If you have problems loading OSCAR ask for help.   Once you get it installed and have a few nights recorded post your charts and ask for help with your therapy. We really need to see the charts to be much help.

Sorry, I didn't notice that you had already downloaded OSCAR.  Post a few of your charts and I am sure someone on here will give you some help
