Air pressure drop
I have used a CPAP nightly for 15 years and I am having issues with my Phillips respironics system one machine. I packed it in a checked bag recently at the airport and fear it might have been roughed up a bit. Although I see no physical damage to the outside of the unit the machine is now not blowing the air strongly enough for it to be at all useful. It still has power and air still flows, it is just a very weak flow. I never before even looked at the settings as they were set up by Dr, so not sure if there is something I can adjust to enhance power of air flow? Hopefully there is some possible fix at home as new unit takes time and money. Thanks to anyone who can help

Exactly which model System One machine?
Look on the bottom of the blower for a 3 digit model number which may be preceded by DS or REF. Tell us that number.
Depending on the model number we can maybe use available software to see if something has been changed in the settings.
Once we figure out existing settings vs past settings you can maybe build a DIY manometer to verify that the pressure is actually blowing at whatever it says it is blowing and then go from there.
How long have you had this particular machine?

For future use - never, ever check your machine. Almost all airlines allow you to bring it onboard as a free carry-on along with your regular carry-on... and what if it ended up going to Brazil by mistake ?

Then a Brazilian would be having the problem. JimJulie wrote:For future use - never, ever check your machine. Almost all airlines allow you to bring it onboard as a free carry-on along with your regular carry-on... and what if it ended up going to Brazil by mistake ?
