DreamWisp mask flaking in my hands

Hi everyone, I've run into a bit of a problem with my CPAP machine that has forced me to temporarily stop using it. A little bit of background: I have been using my Philips DreamStation and DreamWisp for several months now without a problem. During the past two weeks, I went on a vacation to China a...
