Hello all. I am new to the forum so forgive me if this is a newbie question. 

I had been using a Respironics CPAP for about 10 years now, and recently had a split study. My AHI went up significantly, and I was issued a Dream Station and a DreamWear mask. I'm trying to get used to the new mask, and wanted to check its efficiency. The Respironics mobile app uses Bluetooth and gives me running time data, which isn't useful except for insurance compliance purposes. I searched this forum and tried SleepyTime, but saw it was not compatible. I downloaded Encore 2 Pro, inserted the SD card, got some data, but also got a message that my system is not compatible. I was able to see some info, but I don't know how accurate it is. Showed my AHI was always less that 1, when I know there was leakage. I spoke to the respiratory therapist that was able to acquire my data and said it all looks good. She said they use Encore (not Pro).

I was wondering what is the best software program that I could use to see all data, including AHI, leakage, central vs. osa, etc. I also would like to know if there's a way to get this data on a mobile device through Bluetooth or my wireless network.

Thanks in advance.

RE: New to forum
Can you tell us which DreamStation you have?  If you have the DreamStation Pro, it is compatible with #SleepyHead software.  

If you have the DreamStation CPAP, it will not give any useful data.  It is what we call a "brick."

Let us know which machine you have.

I'm not at home right now, but a couple of months ago my R.T. asked me to send her pix of the bar codes underneath, so I just looked at that picture. It says "DreamStation CPAP Humid DOM" and "DreamStation Hum Core Pack DOM", so I assume it's not the Pro.
