I really don't know what I mean! My DME was supposed to bring an autopap with software to me so we could determine how well cpap is working (10 week check-up by now - was supposed to be 8 week). Anyway, he finally called me back after two weeks of unanswered phone calls and said he couldn't provide said machine because autopap/software didn't work with a heated humidifier and without one I would not necessarily get correct results and it might cause some harm. He said I would have to use it for 6 or 7 nights to get good data. So I just wondered how come two weeks ago he said he would bring me such a machine and now claims he can't because it does not exist.
