Bipap purchased in another country

Bipap purchased in another country
Hi everyone,
After an expensive and not pleasant experience here in the US, I decided to see a pneumologist in Italy ,found my peace with a ResMed Air Curve 10, and bought the machine there( I am a dual citizen and visit once a year). I realized as soon as I got back  that the bipap doesn't transmit data back there, but I can send it downloading the content of the SD card. Now....what about pressure settings? They have to follow me as a patient from there, and someday I will need adjustments.Is it  the same case , and they won't be able to change anything remotely? Is anyone been successful in accessing the clinician side using the manuals from this board?
Thank you.

I assume it's the same model sold in Italy as in the USA.
You didn't list which exact model Aircurve 10 you have, but I know the ASV model is easy to change the clinician pressure settings. You can go to YouTube and search for videos on how to do it.
For the ASV model, press and hold the big button and the lower home button -- you will enter the clinicians menu.. The other models might be the same.

I doubt they would be able to access your data remotely.  The software we prefer here to access your own data is OSCAR.  

You can also use ResScan which is found here:

https://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread...hines-only

With either of these software packages, you should be able to print out reports for them, if you wish.

Don't forget, that you can also download your OSCAR data here and we would be able to help you with settings.

I suggest that you order the Clinicians Manual for the AirCurve, so that you can access this data yourself and not be dependent on a doctor or clinic so far away.  

You will need to know the exact model you have and enter the name exactly when ordering.

Aircurve 10 S (Lumis 100 VPAP S)
Aircurve 10 ST (Lumis 150 VPAP ST)
Aircurve 10 ST-A (Lumis 150 VPAP ST-A)
Aircurve 10 VAuto
Aircurve 10 ASV (PaceWave CS)
