    Just use it and get used to it, I'm at 100% that's every day avg. 8 or more hours a night. Doctors do not require 6 month's of download just 1or 2 months, that's all my cpap provider will download

    The info I gave goes back around 5-6 years, my current physical was done two month's ago, my download was for 90 days as that is all my cpap provider will do, my suggestion to you would be to get used to that cpap get some good numbers and get away from that company that you drive for, it seems that your company and Doctor have issues. Good luck

    If I needed something medically... I would use it. There are different masks you can try.

    My data card is read monthly for compliance but I'm never nervous about it, the machine is a Fisher & Paykel icon, the display gives me a percentage for last thirty days and yearly.
