SmartLink Desktop Software tracks patient compliance data from the IntelliPAP machine and provides a summary report on your computer. Use the data card and card reader to auto-detect any new usage data from the IntelliPAP and automatically log all user activity to a patient record within the software.
Using the SmartLink Therapy System with the Standard Intellipap allows CPAP users to record compliance hours and total operating hours as well as settings, pressure and pressure relief information.

Important Tips
The IntelliPAP machine does not store therapy data for the SmartLink Software. The SmartLink Module must be installed in order to store the therapy data.
In order to use the SmartLink Software, the SmartLink Module must be first installed onto the IntelliPAP machine. The SmartLink Module stores the data which can then be transferred to the data card.
When the SmartLink Module is installed on the AutoAdjust IntelliPAP and BiLevel, they will store advanced reporting data. When the SmartLink Module is installed on the Standard IntelliPAP it will only store basic compliance reporting data.
This is only the SmarLink Software. Memory Cards and the SmartLink Module are sold separately or you can purchase all the components together in a bundle.
DeVilbiss offer minimal technical support for installing this product. Technical support can be reached at 800.338.1988, Option #2. Technicians do not assist with interpretation of data.

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.
