CPAP Compliance Report for Commercial Drivers - What we can do for you

Any professional or commercial driver who is using CPAP is required by the DOT (department of transportation) to provide a compliance report of usage. Drivers have mentioned DOT is needing compliance of using the device for at least 4 hours a night @ 70-75% of the time in order to be passed.

We can help by downloading the data off your CPAP machine via the sd memory card/chip located inside the unit. After downloading the data, we generate a report for you which can then be submitted on your part to your employer. We provide this CPAP compliance report for all drivers who require it to pass their DOT physical. This service is available in our office location Garden Grove, CA. It may also be possible for us to download and generate the report remotely depending on your the type of CPAP machine you own.

Please call us at 714-897-2727 for more details. More to come.

We offer two methods of how you can provide us your CPAP compliance data.

The easiest way is to simply send us the SD memory card located either on the back or side of your machine to us. If there is no card in the slot, you would need to need to insert any known working SD memory card (4 Gig minimum capacity) into the machine in order for the data to be transferred over to the card. To make sure the files have transferred over, Philips Respironics machines data will show "P-Series" file folder (pictured below) on the card. ResMed cpap machine data files are listed in the video below. Our shipping address is here.

Below are instructions on the second way you can send us your ResMed CPAP compliance data to us via email. Keep in mind this tutorial is for those who has access to a PC computer (not Apple). For those who have Philips Respironics, your files displayed on the memory card will be appear different than the ones shown in the video below. Please see the image under the video. The process is no different compared to ResMed cards.

How to send your ResMed CPAP Compliance Data

IMPORTANT: Below is the P-series file we need for Philips Respironics machines only.

Do not open the file. Simply right click on the file just like how the above video shows doing with the ResMed files.

I am a commercial truck driver located in Southern California. Every year my company requires me to get a CPAP compliance report downloaded and printed out for my DOT physical exam. I used to go to a place nearby where I live, but they no longer offer the service. How do I go about in having you do t for me? Thank you.

Hello, Please give us a call at 714-897-2727 during normal business hours so a time can be set up for you to come by. It would be best for you to bring in your machine just in case the memory card / chip in it is bad. We will then download and generate a compliance report for your DOT physical. The process takes about 15 minutes for a nominal fee.

I lost the memory card on my machine. Was there a way you can access the data for a compliance report without it? Or can I just purchase any standard SD card from the electronics store?

Some of the newer CPAP machines do not need a memory card to retrieve data as they can transmit information remotely via wifi. All of them will usually have some type of SD card or chip that will store compliance data. Any SD card should work. We typically recommend getting one with about 15 GIG storage.

We do not have a location in your area. Depending on which machine you have, we may be able to handle it via email. Which make and model did you have?

We do not advise on or provide false documentation. It is always in your best interest to use CPAP even if it was temporarily for a week straight in order to properly document usage to pass the DOT physical. They can give you an extension for a few weeks so you can use the CPAP. We may be able to print out a report for you.

I came in your office the other day and had you download and printout a cpap compliance report for my DOT physical on Dreamstation CPAP machine. I requested the report be for 30 days worth of data. My doctor now says they like to get 1 years worth compliance. Can you do that for me?

What machine did you have? You want to try a new SD card as your old one may be corrupt. We can get the data then.

I can get my print out down the road. What I need help with is that I use my cpap every day and was at 88% compliance and suddenly it has dropped to 63%. I didn't use it for 2 days because I was moving but the report shows I missed 9 days. How did that happen. I've now been using my machine every night like I am supposed to but the compliance percentage is still at 63%. My medical card now runs out in 2 days and the stupid machine is gonna cause me to lose my job. I've contacted the manufacturer and the company it was purchased from and they couldn't tell me crap....HELP PLEASE!!!

There is no reason for the numbers to drop that low for only two days of not using the machine. It is possible, the recent report has a much less time frame than compared to the time frame of the report that resulted in 88% numbers. For example, the lower number report could be for only 2 weeks of use, vs a report that is 6 months of usages. If that was the case, the number will be very off.
