Blower time on S9

Post by Fredman » Sat Oct 30, 2010 2:19 pm

I am going to buy the S9 in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, being that I from Canada, I have to purchase the unit from my original DME as Resmed doesn't allow online purchases internationally.

Now not that I don't trust my DME (I guess I don't) , but I would like to check the blower time before I take possession of the unit. The first time I got my first unit from this DME, I never saw the actual packaging and they had it all put together in the travel bag. I could have received a used machine.

What are the steps to check the blower time? I realize that there maybe some time on the blower from the factory. Appreciate any information and experiences!

What you seek and more should be spelled out in there.

Call ahead of time and tell them you will want to see the total hours on the unit before accepting it.
Or just tell them when you show up. You should see the hours before you sign ANYTHING.

I went through the manual and could not see how you can see how many hours are on the blower. Maybe I missed it?

I don't know where the hours are found, sorry. When I got my S9 the RT ripped open the new packages right in front of me before putting the separate parts in the carrying case, so I knew everything was new.

Edit: It's under Sleep Report and then Run Hours.
