Is there any hope for my machine???

Post by SFNM » Mon Nov 28, 2022 4:11 pm

I have had an AirCurve 10 (RESMed) for 10 years. Last night the green light came on and won't go off and won't work. Is there anything I can do to fix this damned thing? I understand there is a 6-8 mo wait for a new machine, plus I need a new RX from a new dr (my sleep dr died a couple yrs ago and have not replaced him). I am hoping to find a way to repair this one as I am trying to get a new one. Any ideas? Thx for any input.

check with acbio.com for repair.

do you have a backup?

if you don't have to go through insurance for a replacement, check out forum member lsat-

Check your local Facebook Marketplace and Craigs list to find one you can use until you get a new prescription. I found my back up machine on Marketplace.

No you haven't, they weren't introduced until December 2014.

Friend of mine talked to his doctor on the 22nd, he's picking up his new machine tomorrow.

I agree with the little red guy.
Your medical record is "somewhere"--it did not get buried with your old doc.
Since you have a right to your medical records,
there should be ways of finding where it is now.
Contact the clinic where he practiced, for starters.
His patient records were part of his estate. They should be traceable.
