News from Uncle Nick on the 11 problem... check your tube plug carefully! Here's the first video describing complaints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiMPOaZBqVs Here's the second video where the problems have been discovered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAs01WRPtGk There are two points to th...

I have a AS11. The humidifier problem is it can stop working. Mine did after a year. Errors messages would occur on the display but the machine still operated. It pushed out cold air in place of warm moisturized air when the error occurred. I contacted my hospital sleep clinic so that they could poi...

This is frightening.

I reviewed this posting to YouTube earlier this evening. Perhaps it’ll help. https://youtu.be/a_-VBpXOV8s?si=BpRQrZjPLgVG30Z-

I did try the unplugging/plugging it back in, did not work. Somewhat of an update - my DME finally picked up the phone so I didn't have to go down to their retail store in person after work. They required me to get a repair/replace letter with my therapy settings from my doctor so after that hoop w...

Hello, I recently started using an AirCurve 10 at night about 3 months ago. I made a mistake... Up until now, I would clean all components at night right before bed but neglected to empty the water tank in the unit during the day, so the tank sat in the unit during the day. Nothing really had a cha...

My wife has been complaining that lately I have a bad sour body odor similar to mold. The humidifier rarely needs cleaning if you use distilled water and take normal precautions. I would say you need the shower, not the humidifier. I’ve used nothing but distilled water, and in the first few months ...

Hello all I wear a nosemask and am moderately bothered with a dry mouth. The advice seems to be to change to ff mask. I would like to get an idea about how many have been helped doing that. Grateful to hear from you, whether it helped or not I was issued a nasal pillow then later nasal masks with t...

Is this normal or am I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks in advance,

Are you cleaning, not just rinsing, your water tank regularly, at least a 1, 2 or 3 times a week?

This has probably been mentioned before but...... Medicare Advantage plans are great for SOME people, not so much for others. First and foremost I am willing to pay for the right to go to the doctors I choose, based on my needs and convenience: A pulmonologist, a retinal surgeon, electrophysiologis...

Hi All. I have a question about Medicare CPAP supply coverage. I have been using CPAP for 17 years and have been on Medicare for the last 2 1/2 years. I have ordered my usual Nasal mask from time to time with no problem. But My Doc recently wanted me to use a FFM when necessary due to some congesti...

If you use distilled water in the humidifier you will have no hard water staining or buildup. If you use distilled water only all you will have to do is top off the tank. No need for disinfecting because nothing will grow in there. I believe all the manufacturers recommend distilled water only in t...

The respiratory therapist at the sleep study clinic where I went suggested to me at the beginning to keep all masks I’ve tried. I’m a year in and have accumulated nasal pillows and 2 types of nasal masks. I currently use and is happy with the f30i. I’ve been holding on to the other masks but don’t s...

Hi. I’m one year in as of August. Very recently I twice had the same error appear on my Air Sense 11 display as well. I changed out my hose and water tub less than a month ago. Before sending an SOS to the sleep center and DME, I decided to first try and reseat my hose and water tub. The 2nd time I ...

I clean my hoses and equipment and have been doing so since I started treatment ~12 years ago. I clean once a week and I have yet to 'wear anything out'. I replace my nasal pillow and machine filter once a month and everything else gets swapped out once a year. That said, I don't use anything to dr...
