Re: How to tell if Bipap is new Run vs Used Hours?

Hi Pugsy thanks for the quick reply. Yes the 131 hours used is all mine since I received the A10. This represents 21 days of use out of 24 days total for an Avg. Usage of 6.3 hrs. If I add 21 days of useage and correct this for the "drying not blowing" cool down period (21 x 0.5 hrs) this would add...

Re: How to tell if Bipap is new Run vs Used Hours?

Ahhh...I see now. And you didn't think to check the run hours when you first got it to see what it said. As you probably now realize...DMEs don't always tell the truth. I don't know if you will have much luck with ResMed. ResMed is likely to throw it back in the DMEs hands and say that they ship ma...

Re: How to tell if Bipap is new Run vs Used Hours?

Since I don't touch the machine until after I turn on the light, the screen is at full brightness as soon as I tap the "home" button. It takes too long for my taste to wait for the light to brighten if I hit the lamp second--so I do it first. My lamp is a little LED desk lamp, aimed right at the se...

Re: How to tell if Bipap is new Run vs Used Hours?

Chunkyfrog thanks for your reply, Boy you got that right! I know the sensor next to the screen controls the dimmer and when the screen is at full brightness I can see it just fine. My problem is that at night the screen is way to dim to see at all and when the lights come on it takes a few minutes f...

Re: How to tell if Bipap is new Run vs Used Hours?

Hello Folks Much Aloha for all the replys. I just contacted ResMed (or tried to) and the only response I got was to take the issues back up with my DME. The guy did manage to tell me that ResMed would never send out a unit with anything but (0) zero Run Hours on it because it is against the law and ...

Re: How to tell if Bipap is new Run vs Used Hours?

Sorry but you fellows are correct in that nobody can apparently buy direct from ResMed I guess I should explain better. I actually bought this A10 through a local DME, I paid full price up front ~3 weeks ago; they bought it directly from ResMed and it should have been "Brand New". I have complained ...

Re: How to tell if Bipap is new Run vs Used Hours?

Hi Pugsy thanks for the quick reply. BTW - I do like my Resmed S9, they make a great machine but I have some concerns on the A10 I just got as "Brand New"... Yes the 131 hours used is all mine since I received the A10. This represents 21 days of use out of 24 days total for an Avg. Usage of 6.3 hrs....

How to tell if Bipap is new Run vs Used Hours?

I am a long time bipap user, be using a Resmed S9 VPAP Auto for the last 4-5 years without any problems. I have recently purchased a Brand New Resmed Aircurve 10 VAuto but the unit apears to be used. When I compared the machine "Used hours" of 131 hrs to the actual "Run hours", which cannot be alter...
