Hi Everyone - Mishap

Post by pdean44 » Mon Jun 06, 2011 5:45 pm

Hi everyone. Had a minor mishap this morning. Broke my h41 humidifier plastic cover. Figured I would order a replacement from good old cpap.com here and get some new filters while I am at it.

The cover came off this morning as I was going to bed after working a long nite shift. I did not take the time to go get my reading glasses and paid the price for it .

Luckily you can seperate the humidifier from the unit. I did not have to go without my machine totally. I was freaking out about it until I realized that. lol

I have been having some sinue issues lately. Went on another arthritis med and I think that is a partial side effect. Not to mention it is allergy season.

Other than these few things my treatment is going well with nothing new to report. Still using my quattro. Not sure if it is th eperfect mask it does tthe job. I am still toying with the new quattro if they worked out the bugs. Seemed like a lot of folks were having trouble getting it to keep sealed. Every once in a while I get a bad seal night with the quattro.

Oops.

Glad to hear it was only minor damage and you can still use your machine.

Can the humidifier still work in passive/pass over mode without a cover?
