Data management

The SD card may be used to monitor patient usage as well as treatment pressure, mask leak, and
incidence of apneas and hypopneas. 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 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.
