==Recommended Models==
The following is a list of recommended and non-recommended machinescreated by Apnea Board Wiki Editors. In general , autosetting machines with full data capability are recommended, while fixed pressure CPAPs with full data are considered acceptable and machines with limited or no data capability are not recommended.
Note that many machines are sold world-wide and may be called by different names in different markets. The model numbers will likely also be different for the same machine sold in different countries. === Philips Respironics DreamStation Series ===The DreamStation was introduced in 2015 and replaced the System One series. <span style="color:#ff0000">'''Notice:''' As of June 2021, newer Philips-Respironics DreamStation machines are now under a Recall Notice.<br />Please see [http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-NOTICE-RECALL-THREAD-IMPORTANT-PHILIPS-DREAMSTATION-SYSTEM-ONE-USERS this Apnea Board forum thread] concerning this issue.</span>

Note, all Philips CPAP : All of the above machines also use the trade name REMSTARREMstar, including legacy machines such as the M-Series and earlier models. None of the machines prior to the PRS1 System One series are supportedby OSCAR, because they are not equipped with SD card slots.
