Apria just called me and I asked them how I get this info and they told me it is on the memory card and the doc will read it or I can mail it to them and they can read it. I would like to get a machine that I can read, does anyone know what kind of machine that would be?

"Jason said, Yeah I dont know where to get this data from my machine? I have the user manaul and I dont see anything where you can get data from the machine? I have a Sleep Style 600 by Fisher and Paykel ... "

Jason, I am not familiar with that series, but it seems 600 is a series and each model has a number like 604 or 608, so you need to be sure of your exact model. Then you can check whether the Fisher and Paykel ComplianceMaximizer™ Software will work with your machine and which media device is needed to store the data. For example, see http://www.cpap.com/productpage/fisher-paykel-compliance-maximizer-... which states the software works with models 604 and 608. The link also mentions the suitable memory hardware.

I highly recommend software for anyone using CPAP.

I don't know why doc's say you will see immediate results. Some do, but most of us did not get so tired and sleep deprived overnight so I think it's unreasonable to think we'll feel better overnight. There is usually sleep deprivation to made up and I was told it is normal to sleep longer and still feel tired until that deprivation is remedied and some time goes by. I hope it doesn't take you too much longer to feel better, Jason. Glad to hear it's not the dirt devil holding you back .

Linda I use the Headrest nasal pillow mask and find the headgear way to big and so it doesn't stay put and slides around something terrible. I use a stretchy headband going from right above the pillow section to the back of my head. Mask stays put and no more worrying about the mask leaking. You can use other things besides a headband such as a leg from panty tights, velcro straps, ace bandage. Just make sure you do not block the vent holes.

Yeah I checked and I have the Sleep Style 608 and it does come with software but looks like it only provides compliance information and humidity info but no leakage info. :(
