This software is NOT compatible with Microsoft Vista. It is NOT compatible with S8 II machines.
"I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and have been using CPAP for many years now. But only recently did I get a "smart" CPAP that would let me see the efficacy data. I got the software and card reader in an effor tto learn as much as I can. The ResMed software has lots of good info - some of which I just don't understand yet. But the Software was designed to only be used by clinicians, and so it is very understandable that it is not especially patient friendly. I am glad to have it and will keep working with it to get as much as I can from it. I appreciate that it is available."
Looks Great But Doesn't Work!
David D, MI – July 07, 2008
"From what I could see, this software was exactly what I was looking for, all the data I wanted to look at could be trended and reports generated, etc. What a shame that it won't work with my S8 AutoSet II (need version 3.5 which will not be sold to end users and is not available from CPAP.com).
So be advised... before purchasing ResScan version 3.3, check to make sure that it is compatible with your cpap machine."
BEWARE -- 3.3 IS OLD INCOMPATIBLE VERSION
Annoymous User – July 03, 2008
"I purchased this software to download data off of my S8 Elite II CPAP machine. I discovered the hard way that the version CPAP.com sells (3.3) is OLD (latest is 3.5 which is Vista-compatible) and 3.3 does not read any data from any of the S8 series machines. You need at least version 3.4 to do this.
The item description above claims it is a new version and mentions nothing about these machine incompatibilities.
Version 3.3 will only work with S8 machines or earlier and NOT S8 IIs, so BEWARE before you buy."
Great Product

"Shipped fast, easy to use, very infomative. Would recomend to people who want to track their own treatment."

What does CPAP software do?
CPAP software allows the downloading of information from certain CPAP machines. Information on breathing, pressure levels delivered, apneas, etc. is available to help determine the effectiveness of CPAP therapy. Software is not required to operate a CPAP machine. CPAP Software also provides more data than obtained through the on screen display or SmartCode. The CPAP Software also allows you and your doctor to drill into any night of data recorded and view the data on an hour by hour basis.
Some CPAP manufacturer maintains a proprietary software package that is only compatible with their machines.
