Not sure if you are asking a question or not, but ...

Machine Hours in the Provider Menu is like the odometer on a car: It records the total number of hours the machine has been used by all patients over the lifetime of the machine. That's why Machine Hours cannot be reset.

Blower Hours is the total number of hours a particular patient has used the machine, regardless of whether breathing was detected. You want to reset the Blower Hours if/when the machine is sold or given to a new patient. Wiping the data before the new patient starts using the machine means that you're not combining the current patient's data with the previous patient's data.
