I forgot how to check blower hours

Post by bwexler » Tue Oct 17, 2017 11:15 am

I have a PRS1 960.
I forgot how to check total blower hours.
I am evaluating next years Medicare Advantage plans and need to guesstimate weather I will be replacing my 960 in 2018 or 2019. My current plan never allows ownership of DME and I refuse to pay perpetuall rental.

I believe the 960 shows blower hrs. when first plugged into the power .
If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

Get the Clinicians manual here : http://apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-press ... tup-manual

Thanks, that worked.

Is it possible that the counter could fail.
When I saw the number 9209 hours for a 4 year old machine with 99% compliance and 8-10 hours use most nights things don't seem right. Plus I vaguely recall looking at that same number when I returned from a trip in August. After 60 days there should have been a change of almost 500 hours.
I will have to make a note of that number and check again in a week or two.
