1. A pressure support therapy system comprising: (a) a data transmission assembly located at a first location, comprising: (1) a data transmission housing,(2) a first electrical contact disposed at a first location on a first member of the data transmission assembly, and(3) a modem disposed in the data transmission housing, the modem being operatively coupled to the first electrical contact and adapted to communicate with a second location remote from the first location;(b) an information storage device, comprising: (1) an information storage housing,(2) a second electrical contact disposed at a first location on the information storage housing, and(3) a first storage element disposed on information storage housing operatively coupled to the second electrical contact; and(c) a pressure support system located at the first location, comprising: (1) a pressure support housing, wherein the data transmission housing is separate from and external to the pressure support housing,(2) a pressure generating system disposed within the pressure support housing for generating a flow of breathing gas,(3) a controller disposed within the pressure support housing and in communication with the pressure generating system, wherein the controller controls the operation of the pressure generating system such that a pressure of the flow of breathing gas remains substantially constant during at least a portion an inspiratory phase of a patient's respiratory cycle and corresponds to a pressure sufficient to treat obstructive sleep apnea,(4) a receiving port defined in an exterior surface of the pressure support housing, wherein the receiving port is sized and configured for selectively and individually receiving at least a portion of the first member of the data transmission assembly including the first electrical contact while the modem is operatively coupled to the first electrical contact and at least a portion of the information storage housing including the second electrical contact, and(5) a third electrical contact disposed in the receiving port, wherein the first electrical contact operatively couples to the third electrical contact responsive to the at least a portion of the first member of the data transmission assembly being disposed in the receiving port and wherein the second electrical contact operatively couples to the third electrical contact responsive to the at least a portion of the information storage housing being disposed in the receiving port. 2. The pressure support therapy system of claim 1, wherein the modem is a hardwired modem or a wireless modem. 3. The pressure support therapy system of claim 1, wherein data transmission assembly further comprises a second storage element disposed in the data transmission housing. 4. The pressure support therapy system of claim 1, wherein the pressure support system further comprises a second storage element disposed in the pressure support housing, and wherein the modem queries the second storage element responsive to the at least a portion of the first member of the data transmission assembly being disposed in the receiving port. 5. The pressure support therapy system of claim 1, further comprising at least one sensor adapted to measure a characteristic associated with one of: (1) a rate of the flow of breathing gas, (2) a pressure of the flow of breathing gas, and (3) a condition of a patient using the pressure support system, wherein an output of the sensor is provided to the controller. 6. The pressure support system of claim 1, wherein the pressure generating system includes: a pressure generator; anda pressure controller associated with pressure generator and operatively coupled to the controller for controlling 1) a pressure or 2) a rate of the flow of breathing gas delivered to the patient by the pressure generating system. 7. The pressure support system of claim 1, further comprising an input/output device operatively coupled to the controller. 8. The pressure support system of claim 1, further comprising a timing system operatively coupled to the controller for monitoring usage of the pressure support system. 9. The pressure support system of claim 1, wherein the first storage element on information storage device includes operating parameter information for the pressure support system, and wherein the operating parameter information is based on a patient circuit, patient interface device, or both to be operatively coupled to the pressure support system. 10. A pressure support system comprising: (a) a pressure support device comprising: (1) a housing,(2) a pressure generating system disposed within the housing for generating a flow of breathing gas,(3) a controller disposed within the housing in communication with the pressure generating system that controls the operation of the pressure generating system,(4) a receiving port defined in an exterior surface of the housing, and(5) an electrical contact dispose in the receiving port;(b) an information storage device adapted to be selectively disposed in the receiving port, the information storage device comprising: (1) an identification storage area adapted to contain information identifying at least one of (a) information describing the information storage device itself, and (b) information identifying a user to which the information storage device is assigned, and(2) at least one of (a) a first information storage area adapted to contain information for use in controlling an operation of the pressure support device, and (b) a data storage area adapted to store data written thereon by the pressure support device, and(c) an adapter adapted to be selectively disposed in the receiving port, wherein the adapter provides communication access between the controller and an electronic device external to the pressure support device responsive to the adapter being inserted into the receiving port,wherein the controller communicates with the information storage device via the electrical contact responsive to the information storage device being disposed in the receiving port, and wherein the controller is adapted to at least one of (a) read information from the information storage device and (b) write information to the information storage device via the electrical contact. 11. The pressure support system of claim 10, wherein the pressure support device further comprises a timing system operatively coupled to the controller for monitoring usage of the pressure support device. 12. The pressure support system of claim 10, wherein the first information storage area includes a first area containing operating mode information designating an operating mode of the pressure support device and operating parameter information designating an operating parameter of the pressure support device. 13. The pressure support system of claim 10, wherein the first information includes operating parameter information for the pressure support system, and wherein the operating parameter information is associated with a patient circuit, a patient interface device, or both a patient circuit and a patient interface device adapted to be coupled to the pressure support system.
