Just curious....

Post by RobertinTX » Mon Mar 23, 2009 10:49 am

I was just wondering if CPAP machines ever need to go back to the mfg. for cleaning or refuburshing ?
Or is it they work or don't work ?
Thanks

I've never heard of sending one for a regular maintenance tune-up. I don't think any of my literature calls for that. That leads me to believe that they work until they don't work

Backup machines are adviseable.

If they fail to work correctly, they don't need lube jobs or the plugs changed. Jim Just clean air intake filters and a clean place to live.
