I got my DS2 today and I'd just like to sincerely thank you all for your suggestions and advice. You helped me get through what would have otherwise been a sleepless few weeks and I have enough going on in my life without adequate sleep.

Alright, I still need some help here. I notice that the Humidifier doesn't turn on. When I go into the clinician settings I don't see any options for humidifier. I have a non-heated hose plugged in but I don't know how to turn on the humidifier. Try the humidifier from the old one. Also, try the ol...

Spoke with a technician today. She says that they'll have a brand new dreamstation 2 for me next week that is free from the problem that caused the recall so that's good. But also she says that she cannot help me with my replacement cpap as it is a liability for them. She also told me that it's dang...

He sold it because he was moving overseas and didn't need it anymore. Wouldn't I just be able to get it checked by my technicians at the respiratory place? Why wouldn't he need it overseas? Seems like there is more to it than that. I think that is why he sold it. You would have to ask your technici...

cannot even adjust the humidity while the blower is on. While the blower is blowing or just plugged in? While it is blowing Try accessing the setup menu when the machine is just plugged in and NOT blowing. I don't think that you can get to where you need to go while the machine is actually blowing ...

I am miffed, humidification settings should be showing up in your menus. When you press the power button and start therapy on the LCD to the right of the pressure you should see 3 wavy lines and a number from 0 to 5, the number indicates your humidification level with 0 being off. If that shows up ...

It says

Humidifier:

I don't see any debris in the connectors. I can still use it without the humidifier, but I'd prefer to have it.

For humidifier settings in the clinician menu select “comfort”, then the first two squares on the top row with wavy lines are the humidification settings. First square sets adaptive, or fixed humidification, the second square selects the level of humidification (0 – 5). If your humidifier still won...

Update: I have the new Dreamstation now. I am pretty sure my previous machine's air pressure was 11.0 but I'm worried about that being wrong, is it okay to sleep with that pressure for one night? I set 11.0 as the auto-min and 11.5 as the automax. I'll talk to the respiratory guys about it tomorrow,...

One last thing, what if my air pressure is wrong? Should I be okay with just changing it on the fly as I need it? I seem to recall it being 11.0 but I'm kind of second guessing myself as my original CPAP isn't here.

Once I have this other Dreamstation is there any setup I need to do? I know I need to change it to my air pressure which was 11, but is there anything outside of that I need to handle? I'm using the non-heated hoses.

Take it for now and when you can get something else, keep it for a backup. And stop catastrophizing - who knows how long you had OSA before going on Cpap!

That's sound advice.

I really appreciate it. Every so often I get so anxious I need someone to slap me and yell at me to snap me out of it.

we have Craigslist in Canada but sale of recalled items are prohibited. Don't buy another DreamStation....don't buy another Respironics machine....buy a ResMed machine. What is the model number of your machine??? Look on the bottom of the blower for the model number. Once we know exactly which mode...
