Analyzing the SD card data
To analyze the data, use a ResMed PC application to transfer data and settings between a VPAP Adapt or
an SD card and your personal computer. Refer to your PC application guide for more information about
analyzing the information on returned SD cards.
Data storage
Designed to make data more easily available, the S9 SD card gives clinicians greater insight to patient
therapy by making high resolution and detailed data available on the device.
The amount of data stored on the SD card varies compared to the data stored on the device.
