Stretched tubing

Post by Guest » Wed May 24, 2017 5:20 pm

Wondering if someone had some advice. I was cleaning my husband new cpap today. I tried to detach one of the hoses from an adaptor but it wasn't meant to come off. In doing so I stretched the hose out a little bit. His clinic is closed for the day. Anyone have this problem before. Does it effect sleep? Any advice for fixing?

Check for leaks. If there are none, you might try to use with care.
If there is, you can give tape a shot. Duck, bandage, whatever you have.
Cleaning the hose is pretty much not necessary. If it is too risky, skipping it is fairly harmless.
Always have a spare of the things that can be broken.
