hose is flat?

[kibitzer]

This is my second hose and it keeps getting flattened all the way from the machine to the mask. I know it is not getting stuck somewhere. Could that because me to show high leakage rate? Resmed 10 and Amara View. Pressure 14-18.

We might need photos of the hose to know what you mean by

I am not a member of the Flat-Hose Society. But if you truly mean "flattened" and not just "leaking," Sherlock Holmes might lean first toward finding evidence of human skullduggery or a large-mouthed animal.

Sounds like Goldilocks has been sleeping in your bed. Never leave the hose lying on your bed when you go out for the day.

Hose management.
I squashed a hose long ago.
Must have rolled over it with my fat butt.
Learned my lesson.

Seems to me that only a bony backside would have what it would take to flatten CPAP tubing, although I admit I personally lack the equipment to be able to directly verify that hypothesis with definitive experimentation.

Maybe it was my technique?

All the way from the machine to the mask.

Hey Chunky, do you have your machine IN the bed with you? If not, you must have some strange hose management if the hose can get flattened out that way.

I had NO hose management when I crushed the hose.
I have hung my hose high ever since, and no damage has occurred.

If you actually do have a flat hose from machine to mask,
I have no clue how that could have happened.
Perhaps someone is pranking you . . .
I can imagine no other possibility.

Only one way to flatten out a hose from machine to mask and there's no way that a cpap machine could do it (you could run it over with your car I guess). The pressure inside the hose would have to be significantly lower than the outside pressure, a vacuum inside the hose or high pressure outside the hose. It ain't happenin with a cpap machine.

Not to mention what such a vacuum would do to one's face on the other end with the mask.

A prank? There you go.

Nothing like an impossible claim to garner attention.
Methinks we are feeding a troll.
