I think (hope) I know why my Alarm went off this morning. Apparently when that she brought my new BiPAP Monday she forgot to put any inlet filters in it or tell us it didn't have any! I didn't check as she was supposed to know what she was doing. So I used it 3 nights with NO filter! I put them in earlier so hopefully no more alarms. I only hope 3 nights without any didn't damage the machine in some way.

it should be OK, glad it can detect lack of filter, a common problem is a blocked filter so hopefully it can detect this too

it usually helps to keep CPAP up off the floor to avoid some dust, dog hair, etc so filter takes longer to block
