Particle in the humidifier tray

Post by VanCrawford » Sat Dec 24, 2022 4:52 am

I started wheezing while on the cpap and continue a few hour after coming off the machine. Later it clear up. Made a visit to doctor to consult with them no explanation for wheezing. Now waiting for test result. That night following my visit I went to add distill water and I notice some fine particle in the humidifier tray. I did not use the cpap machine out of fear. Now read some of the comments I am very concern.

What version/model of which machine do you have, and how old is it?

One particle (if it's foam in a Respironics machine) won't kill you FYI.

Was the particle moving under its own power?
I found a dead silverfish once.
It had probably cooked.
I did not taste it.
