Bipap isn't workin

Post by beautifuldreamer » Wed Dec 17, 2014 9:18 pm

I'm away from home on a trip. Bipap shows the power is on. But no air is blowing. Any thoughts on what might be wrong?
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions

Did you remove the water from the humidifier before pack it ?

Did something get into the hose when packed ?

check the filter .. in properly ... not pluged

Thanks.
I kept checking this morning and
I think the problem was that didn't have the humidifier connected tightly enough
- Hopefully it will work tonight:)

Re: Bipap isn't working. Still not working

Ok. Checked out the bipap again. This time I made sure the humidifier is connected properly and it is. For some reason the blower doesn't work when it's connected.
I have a heated hose. Is it ok to connect the heated hose to my bipap without the heated humidifier?

Thanks much.

Yes the heated hose will connect directly to the 760 and clip on, however you will not have any heat .... just mike sure the electrical plug part of the hose is up and the clips will clip into the sides

I have used mine when I didn't want to carry 2 hoses. It didn't seem to be a problem but I believe it just works as a regular hose. Just leave off the end cap and it will plug in where the humidifier attaches. If anyone knows that it could be a problem I would like to know also.

Thanks bunches
Ok you would never believe it. But there was something stuck in the hose. An earplug. Don't know how it got there but it took advert minutes. And finally got it out.

LOL . Too funny!!

good thing it didn't go through when you had the mask on and get stuck in your nose
