Re: Problem with moisture forming on left side of bi pap mach

Hi, The moisture is built up on the inside of the plastic display. It doesn't go away but gets worse with each use. The first one I had been using for 2 years. About two months ago, it started fogging up inside the plastic. Since it was still under warranty, they got me a new one. Because she mentio...

Re: Problem with moisture forming on left side of bi pap mach

No...I never believed her but did not have an answer at the time. Told her I had been using distiller for 5 years and bought distilled water before that. But when I got the new machine, I used store bought distilled water, the same problem started to happen again. One site I found had 255 gallons of...

Re: Problem with moisture forming on left side of bi pap mach

Hi, My medical supplies provider is good. They don't always have the right answers for me. They did get me a new machine under the warranty. I have been using it a week now but the moisture from the humidifier is now showing in the display area. Wish they didn't assume we knew everything. Now I am w...

Re: What took you so long....

It was about 20 yrs ago, I was having difficulty doing a job I had done for years. Went to my GP. She said it was menopause put me on estrogen and progesterone.

Re: Greetings All

I don't know if this will help but I use a nasal mask that has a chin strap attached. They saw in all my sleep studies the difficulties I had. First they just tried the nasal mask w/o a strap but I kept opening my mouth. The chin strap has stiff plastic on each side and my chin rests into it. It see...

Re: Problem with moisture forming on left side of bi pap mach

Thank you for your honest opinion. I see where people use tap water and don't have an issue. So I must be doing something wrong. The only other thing that I can think of that could cause a problem is maybe I fill it too high. I always stop at the line but this evening when I went to check on somethi...

Problem with moisture forming on left side of bi pap mach

Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Been using a Respironics System One Bi pap auto machine for two years now. Moisture in the past few months started to build up on the left screen area. Was also getting noisy. Got it replaced with a new one. My machine provider said I have to use ho...
