Hi all,
I have an oxygen concentrator feeding into my cpap. When I get up at night for potty time, I leave everything on and just unhook the hose from my mask. I was told not to turn off the cpap until after turning off my O2. If I wake up enough, to turn off both machines, I am awake for the night and so is my Husband. I just read that I shouldn't run my cpap when I am not attached to it. Is there a better way to save my machine and not blow up my house?

There's no harm to your cpap just disconnecting the mask and letting it run for a couple minutes while you go pee.
Now, having to get up to wake up to pee at night is a problem that *usually* goes away with *adequate* cpap treatment.

Re: Cpap with oxygen
The only question is the safety of letting the O2 run for a few minutes while you're off to the loo.
The air volume in your room is very significantly larger that the few liters of O2 you concentrator will put out during your night time adventure - BTW its this same O2 that just got pulled out of that same air.
So - to the best of my knowledge, letting the machine and concentrator run for a few minutes once in a while will do no harm.
