I'm not exactly sure what you're asking about formats. However, I think that you're concerned if you can utilize TWO separate CPAP/APAP machines. Like one to travel with (i.e. the mini Resmed as an example), and the other one you might use at home while sleeping. Anyway, the compliance reports and data are then downloaded from these machines. They're required to be submitted via your AME to the FAA airmen medical office when accomplishing your FAA airmen's class of medical SPECIAL - issuance. Generally, the last 12 consecutive months of these CPAP downloaded CPAP/APAP compliance/data reports must be provided to the FAA. Do this with the FAA MedXpress FAA medical application form you filled out online that your AME will have when you provide the confirmation number. So usually once a year you submit them. Get your DME (durable medical equip. provider) to do the downloading and then print you the graphed data copies (keep also copies for yourself). What's really nice is that certain newer CPAP machines (like the newer Resmed Airsense 10) have the ability for the DME provider to get the downloads via it's own cellular network signal! The other ways are these machines can have a removable SD card which records your usage. Or, just taking in the machine part which the DME provider can read off of. Anyway, the CPAP just has to be plugged into the electrical power and turned on. Remember also that you have to have from your treating Sleep Apnea physician, a written statement OR letter of successful continuing CPAP treatment. Talk it over with your AME doctor or his nurse, well prior to your FAA medical appt. Let me know if this has helped.
