Of course it's not simple import/export but it could become one if enought people start asking for transfer of data to Oscar on daily basis (for example via some automation)

Looking forward to this. My number came up for replacement DS unit, and it's a DS2.
I'm going to miss this loaner AS-10. Great machine.

The fact they they encrypted the data - hiding it from patients - is a sign of badwill.  

The fact that the defect went on for so long, affected so many machines, and was handled so poorly already was problematic.

I used my old F&P HC-231 when I heard of the recall until the replacement came.

Note that my first hand experience is relatively good.  I has a DS1 for six years with no visible particles, no weird odors, and did not experience the symptoms described.  The DS2 arrived as a replacement and and it seems to be a pretty good machine.

Exactly.  And we will be doing all we can here on Apnea Board to counter this anti-patient trend.  If this trend spreads to other manufacturers, our whole patient-empowerment movement will be crushed, or at best severely limited as to how much we can help patients.

Stay tuned...
