Last Question.....WIFI - Matzaball2016 - 04-09-2017
Hi Guys,
My machine has the wifi icon and its on and working, I didn't set any info on it or connect it to my wifi. It's just ON.
Who is receiving this info, I cant find any info on this.
Thanks Again.
Marc.

Typically your DME, the ResMed MyAir App, and maybe your Dr. will receive data.
The MyAir app will not change settings, but users have posted that their settings were remotely changed, presumably by their DME.

It's not WIFI - its a cell phone connection. Not the same thing.
The information goes to Resmed and they store it on their servers. You can access some of it through the "MyAir" web site. Resmed lets your sleep therapist access more detail, but you can see even more from the SD card and your home computer using SleepyHead.
You can also get SD cards that have a built in wifi access point so you can read it from your own computer without removing the card from the machine. There are several threads about this.

Thanks for the answers.
So the phone connection sends the info to Resmed to check up on you and also being compliant? I had a buddy lose his and start all over because he didnt use it enough.
I like the idea of the SD card being wifi so I can use sleepyhead without taking out the card . Nice Feature.
Once Resmed gets the info I assume they send it on to my Insurance company and my Primary Doctor to make sure it's being used 70% of the time.
Awesome stuff.
Would you mind telling me what card you bought that was wifi to send data to sleepyhead?
Once again thanks for the help.

I use the 16GB Toshiba FlashAir card and a program called FlashPap that can find a link for the download here:https://sleep.tnet.com/equipment
I bought my card on Ebay for $25 including shipping. They are available from Amazon but the price is usually higher.

If you want to disable it, you can turn Airplane Mode on.

No, Resmed doesn't check up on you, but if your sleep doc/equipment supplier has an account with Resmed, they may monitor the output. I'd ask them if they do this, could be a convenient way for them to advise you if you have concerns. I have the same machine, and my sleep doc just looks at the data on the SD card at my annual appointment. There's no interface with the insurance company, either, except when supplies (masks, filters, etc) are ordered, but that's just the supplier asking if I'm compliant.
I also have a Toshiba FlashAir card installed and working to transfer the data to my laptop for use in Sleepyhead and Rescan. Very convenient.

Thanks so much for the answers.
My buddy was not compliant in the first 90days and had to return the unit. How did they know this??
Someone was monitoring it. lol
Resmed sent him a letter saying this. Hmm...interesting
