Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to experiment and relay. I have the 418P and believe that I am having more headaches and feel less energized than when using my old regular CPAP. Presently unable to change machines so I will continue with this machine.
I have an arrangement with my DME to download data every 90 days and provide to me a report. I am curious about your statement that the data needs to be downloaded daily or you may lose the previous nights data. I have had this CPAP for over 3 months and because the DME originally set the perameters wide open the machine was not recording data. Tthe Malinkodt rep visited his office and guided him with my settings and then he returned the machine to me to test the settings and the data buildup. I tested for a week and returned the machine to the DME for a day and he brought it back the next day with a 7 day report. This is why I am curious about your statement.
