Re: Running machine with empty humidifier?

Thank you all. I was doing this on my weekly cleanings and was a bit suspicious. I agree it shouldn’t be ok every day. I’ll empty and dry it every day.

Running machine with empty humidifier?

My tech said I can just run hot air to dry the hose after cleaning. I have been turning the heat to high, inserting the humidifier chamber empty and turning the auto start off to dry the hose after washing.

I did a full cleaning following week and found pink slime again, washed it and scrubbed and get into corners with q-tip it this time. I have been...

Re: Using AirSense10 for home test.

Thank you so much, this is great news. May I also ask for help to find out how I will find out the results?
Is it the result that shows on screen or is there any other way to pull this data?

Using AirSense10 for home test.

Hi everybody, I have been using CPAP for a year and my life has changed. I so appreciate being diagnosed and treated. I suspect my mom has an apnea as well. I am now with her and would like to test her with my machine. I asked my doctor but he didn’t want to advise. The machine is set for 8-12. I ha...

Re: Need help to use ResMed Air10 to diagnose

These are amazing responses, thank you so much. I don’t know how to change the setting but search and find out tomorrow and try this. If we can at least see some events, I can convince her to seek some help. You are all awesome, thank you!
