I thought I should close the loop here. Thanks to those who replied. It appears that Pugsy nailed it, though. There was one more night of a high (for me) AHI of 12+. But then things started settling back to normal. I've had some "normal" variation but all told, lately my numbers have dropped back be...

I have used CPAP for many years and for the past several, my AHI has generally been around 3 or so. I tested positive for covid last Monday and had a dry cough, stuffy nose, and a fever (highest 102.1). I continued to used CPAP and my numbers were in the normal range. I started paxlovid on Friday mo...

Thanks for all the good advice. This is not a lightly used device I am donating: this is the brand-new whatever-it-is that Philips is sending me to replace my old, recalled unit. I bought an AirSense 10 back in August and will continue using that. But I am sure someone out there could use a brand-ne...

A data point on the recall: I did not register until August 17. I received notification this morning that they have just shipped me a replacement machine. Since I already bought a replacement on my own dime, I don't need this; does anyone have a suggestion about the best way to identify people who I...

And, following the advice to fiddle with the mask, I did and am pleased to report that there was a screw loose. Literally. There is a little thingamajig that loosens to adjust the angle of the nasal pillow holder. I had apparently loosened it and never re-tightened it. Did so last night. And we're b...

Because I used to have a (relatively) noisy DreamStation (I now have a ResMed AirSense 10 that is VERY quiet), we long ago bought a handy-dandy little white noise generator. I put it on the floor close to the head of the bed and, presto-chango, what noise? It covered the noise from the DreamStation ...

Is there any possibility that a pinhole leak has developed in the hose(s) at any point or that the hose connection points are less than perfect?

Thanks for the quick reply. It is certainly possible that any one (or more) of the items in the list you provided are wrong and I have my homework cut out for me. What puzzles me is that for the first month or so, everything was stable. To the best of my knowledge, I am doing nothing differently now...

I used a DreamStation (or its predecessor) for about 15-17 years, until the recall. I was able to purchase a ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset to replace it almost exactly two months ago. My pressure settings are 7-12 and most nights the pressure is around 9.5. My AHI score is around 4.8 (down, oddly, from...
