Resmed S9 H5is and ClimateLine Tubing - topic started by Johnny Goodman (owner of cpap.com:)
________________________________________________johnnygoodman wrote:Howdy All,
We received communication back from Resmed regarding the S9 ClimateLine and Humidifier. Here are the core points of their bulletin:
1. These operating conditions present no known safety issue. The S9 displaying a fault message under these conditions is not intended and is a software bug.
2. This is a software issue that causes an incorrect message to be displayed. A software upgrade is being performed on units returned for warranty repair that will prevent the "Heated Tube fault, replace tube" error from preventing system operation.
3. To cause this issue one must cause the temperature in the ClimateTube to exceed 90 deg F / 32 deg C. This temperature can only be achieved if the tube is operated under one's sheets for an extended period, the room is over 77 degrees F, or the tube is in direct sunlight while in use.
4. The error goes away each time the temperature drops below the 90 Deg threshold and reappears each time the threshhold is exceeded. If your S9 shuts down during sleep, try unplugging the unit, then powering up again. The CPAP will normally come back on until the 90 Deg threshold is again triggered.
5. Substitute a Slimline tube if the problem persists as a temporary fix.
Here is advice issued in the bulletin:
1. Make sure your humidifier tub is full at the start of therapy. A dry plate humidifier can increase the chance of exceeding temperature bounds.
2. Turn down the humidifier/climateline setting.
If you bought your unit from CPAP.com and have concerns or want a software upgrade, call us at 1-800-356-5221.
Johnny

Climateline hose and S9 Heated Humidifier - topic started by Sanadol
Sanadol wrote:My Climateline hose suddenly stopped working after 3 days of use. I had to send it back to cpap.com.
I got a call from them yesterday saying that I need to send my my humidifier too.
The guy i spoke with told me that Resmed got back to them that the "heated tube failure. replace tube." error is caused by the humidifier and replacing the hose alone will only lead to more climateline tube failures.
Has anyone heard of any type of humidifier recall from Resmed or 'am just the only one with the hose "frying" humidfier

I had the same thing happen to me and i simply repaired mine with F4 tape (see photo) until my warranty replacement arrived. The i reinforced both my slimline hoses with the F4 tape.

S9 Climate Line has a hole! - topic started by Big Daddy RRT,RPSGT
steamfan wrote:I got my S9 and the assorted hoses at the Mayo Clinic Sleep Store, and they were at great pains to point out that the Slimline and Climateline both suffered from a problem where they developed leaks near the connector if you pulled on the hose while disconnecting it. They said that ResMed is working on a redesign.

Resmed™ S9 Climateline hose durability - topic started by Uncle_Bob
On page 4 of that thread:
WillSucceed wrote:I spoke today with the ResMed rep here in Toronto, telling him about the concerns expressed with hoses leaking and, limited supply of hoses (I've been waiting over a month for a Climate-line).
He is aware of a durability problem with the S9 hoses but thinks it is not a big a problem as it is being made out to be by users. He has assurred me that ResMed is on top of this and that hoses should be available by late next week.
