Puritan Bennett 420 &Silverlining2

Posted by clubted on September 03, 2003 at 20:01:17:

I spoke to my Puritan Bennett Rep today and found out that the Silverling2 software version 2.3 is available.
The interesting thing about it is that it now has a report function, that gives you a single page at the end much like Encore Pro for the Respironics Autopaps.

The really cool thing that Silverlining2 now incorporates, is the ability to download CPAP data much like an autopap.

Most if not all CPAP's only give compliance info. When using the Puritan Bennett 420 Series CPAP, Silverlining downloads RDI/AHI info from a straight CPAP.

This is a huge benefit to people who use a CPAP instead of an autopap. It will track apnea's and hypopnea's so that when you go back to your sleep doctor, you can give him/her a report on just how effective your CPAP is treating you.

Since most insurance companies will not cover an autopap, or at least, that is what I hear from this board, buying a Puritan Bennett 420 Series CPAP could be benificial.

Also, there is a new 420E Autopap that has been released in Europe and is awaiting FDA approval here in the US. It is the same size as the 420S Traveler. It will be the worlds smallest Autopap.

Cheers to everyone...

My Rep is sending me the newest Silverlining2 to evaluate.

More to come.
