I don't of course. Serbia, a country where medical insurances both social and private don't care about severe sleep apnea patients, and would rather treat resulting heart and brain attacks, diabetes etc than buying their customers their cpaps...

So I would say to a thread starter, seems that with this Dreamstation thing we all are in a huge mess, whoever is not ready to risk imho should buy their own machines imho, I know I did...

Just pointed the blower of DS into my air purifier detector portion, and got like 200-300 of whatever units, red light, highly toxic... Ok it could be dust being blown into the sensor from the surroundings, because I get like 15-20 result with resmed, maybe I got super high numbers with DS because I tried it first and maybe I pushed more dust into the sensor with the first try, can't say... It's not really a lab test, but I read a youtube comment that inspired me to try that:

"Find a TVOC air quality sensor and test the airflow - you might be surprised like I was. Luckily I stopped using it & bought another brand right away."

Maybe someone from the boards who owns a VOC sensor could try the test as well.
