Got my grubby hands on some information about the software that Respironics puts out to help doctors track patient compliance/ efficacy data -- thanks Rock!
Here's the information-- haven't had a chance to go through it myself, but will, and wanted to get it up right away for everybody else -- make sure to click on the thumbnail to see the larger image:

yeah, i noticed that, but thought it would add to the total mix of information for us patients to know what options the clinicians have for tracking our data.

Hey Mike you put the ResTraxx info in as well. Sorry I should have warned you.
Very nice info Mike. I look forward to the day that my doc (or somebody) will be able to read those detailed reports.
By the way, I have recorded 1% Periodic Breathing on about 4 nights so far. I was very surprised to see that on the LCD, as it normally reports zero. So apparently, I have some occasional irregular breathing patterns. Not sure how serious it might be. But it's nice to know it's being reported and recorded now.
The software seems like it is going to be very nice. All in all both machines should be able to report better info to the patient and the doctor while saving both money and time in the long run.
i got to spend a bit of time with both my Resmed and Respironics Reps. I asked them both the same but opposite question. "Why should I recommend the (insert machine name here) over the (insert machine name here). I was comparing the PR1 to the autoset II. I had fun.
