SD card
The SD card allows S9 devices to capture
data. The S9 Series comes with the SD card
already inserted and ready to be used.
Compliance data is also stored on the
device, so if the card is lost, the data is not.
You can also create new treatment settings
and transfer them to the patient’s device via
the SD card.
S9 device settings are written to the SD
card so that a ResMed PC application will
present actual settings from the SD card
rather than default values.
Data management
The SD card may be used to monitor patient usage as well as treatment pressure, mask leak (only
available in the S9 AutoSet and S9 Elite), and incidence of apneas and hypopneas. To assess the patient’s
progress, data for the last session may be compared to values for the last week, the last month, the last
three months, the last six months, and the last year. The device stores usage and summary data for up to
365 sessions.
