Wishing you a Good Morning on a chilly day.

I am looking Smart Card Readers. I wanted to know if the Brand of Smart Card makes any difference in which Reader one gets? :?:

My card is an EncorePro.

thanks

Yes it does only one type will work, DT-3500, it does come in three flavor, USB, Serial, Cardslot. USB is the one you want, Serial is outdated and cardslot is overpriced. Jim

Yes, I am working on it. Thanks :D

I am most likely not buying one for a week or two.

The sleep dr. says I have Obstrative Apnea and Centrals. And they might need to change my machine?
I am not sure why they would need to. The Dme said to bring the card in about Monday next week. That they will send my results to the Dr.

If there's a chance your machine may change, you may want to hold off on buying card reader or software.
