Forgot to put filter in my Devilbiss APAP last night

Post by DJOS » Sun Aug 19, 2018 6:25 pm

I switched to my Devilbiss travel APAP machine last night and didn't check to ensure that the filter was inserted. This morning I realized that the filter was missing from the machine. Did I damage my machine by running it last night without a filter?

Not for one night.

No. One night in the middle of a dust storm and no filter might be a problem but not normal room air.

Thanks much for the replies. What a relief to know that I didn't damage my machine!
