[QUOTE="old levi's, post: 3452366, member: 4508"] It's even worse now, the newest machines transmit all data to the health provider wirelessly. You must have 4 [B]continuous[/B] hours of use each night, for that night to count as a complete sleep cycle. There is also a threshold percentage of use over the year that must be maintained, but I could never get anyone to disclose that number. Before you go for your [I]yearly [/I]DOT exam you must obtain a printout of compliance from the CPAP provider to give to the doctor at the time of the physical. I can tell you from experience that you have apnea, along with hypertension, they are looking more to disqualify you, than to pass you. [/QUOTE]
