Re: Is anyone still using their System one CPAP machine?

I took mine apart prior to returning it. I can assure you the foam is in the air path where it sits under the motor.

Re: HDM Z1 Have a fault 33 code. Anyone know how to fix it?

HDM claims the car cord is for battery charging only, not running the CPAP. I have run it in my camper off grid successfully until the night it began shutting down on me. The battery monitor said "good", but the very next trip the house batteries failed completely. I now use a USB power adapter and ...

kuffs,

Just so you know, the Z1 wants 15V.

Re: Airmini + Zephair adapter + generic HME filter?

I expect the mask vents at the nose, meaning your exhaled moisture won't make it to the HME. Note that Resmed does not make an Airmini HumidX version of this mask. There is an Airmini HumidX version of the P10 however.

Re: Transcend Micro Cpap and HME/mask question

The HME uses a standard hose connection. If the Bleep uses that style connection where it connects to the short hose, it might work. I'm not sure how the added weight/stiffness at this location would affect adhesion.

Re: Transcend Micro Cpap and HME/mask question

It's all about where the mask vents are located. If exhaled air exits far before reaching the HME, it won't work. I believe the AirMini system puts their HumidX before the vent. I cannot tell from the picture where the Bleep vents.

Re: HDM Z1 Have a fault 33 code. Anyone know how to fix it?

My Z1 hasn't experienced fault 33, but I've been following this thread since it may be only a matter of time. Congratulations to kuffs for finding a solution. When I followed the links, I see firmware is for a Z1 CPAP and may damage my Z1 Auto. I found firmware for the Auto available at: https://bre...

Re: Respironics replacement - is it really necessary to return.

They provided a box, tape, and free return shipping FedEx label. If I had to pay for shipping, I would not have returned it. I returned it after taking it apart to inspect the foam and putting it back together. Used from 2011 until the recall, and no ozone; the foam looked pristine.

I just found this thread: viewtopic/t75607/Res-Med-shuts-itself-o ... night.html

Any chance you place the power brick next to the PAP? Mine is kept on the floor, with the light on top where I can see it.

Re: Airsense 10 suddenly shut down

The Freedom V2 battery is charged by the Resmed brick. AC to brick, DC out of brick to battery, battery to CPAP. I just tried a short interruption on the DC side while delivering air. Once restored, machine went through its startup sequence and then began delivering air. During the test I wore the n...

Re: Airsense 10 suddenly shut down

I've seen the green power light go out on the power brick at least twice. This didn't affect the machine, since I'm using battery backup. Cycling power to the brick restored it. I'm guessing the brick has some protective circuitry that shuts it down when a surge is detected.

Re: BREAS Z2 very noisy at mask

I use my Z1 with a 6' hose with a hose cover and with the muffler. Not as quiet as my regular unit, but tolerable. Make sure the hose adapter is fully inserted into the machine. Sometimes it will become partly detached so the small tube is not properly providing pressure to the unit's sensor. When t...

Freedom V2 battery

One of the two batteries began malfunctioning following the last power outage. The AS10 will continuously power up then down when that battery is in the circuit. All works fi...
