Help! Cpap doen't work

Post by patcee2 » Thu Dec 24, 2020 5:04 am

My Cpap turns on okay and stats showing the amount of air flowing but then the humidifier face turns red and the Cpap stops. It is a ResMed and about 5 years old. What can I do? It is 3 q.m. and I can't sleep without it.

Which model ResMed? Is the humidifier built in like with the AirSense machines or separate unit like the S9 machines?

Turn humidity off and see if it'll run. You can leave water in the tank for passover heating if this gets you by.
