Data management

The SD card may be used to monitor patient usage as well as treatment pressure, mask leak, and
incidence of apnoeas and hypopnoeas. To assess the patient's progress, data for the last session may be
compared to values for the last week, the last month, the last three months, the last six months, and the
last year. The device stores usage and summary data for up to 365 sessions.

SD card

The SD card allows VPAP devices
to capture data. The VPAP Series
comes with the SD card already
inserted and ready to be used.
Compliance data is also stored
on the device, so if the card is
lost, the data is not. You can also
create new treatment settings
and transfer them to the patient's
device via the SD card.
VPAP device settings are written
to the SD card. This allows a
ResMed PC application to display
actual device settings from the
SD card instead of the default
values.
