Blueish purple staining from my Airsense 10

Post by 23477 » Fri Apr 14, 2023 10:19 am

I am getting blue/purple stains on my pillows and on my Airfit n20 mask cushion and water chamber of my Airsense 10 machine. Very concerning. Am I breathing in these stains?

if this is a brand new machine and still under warranty, i'd return for an exchange.

good luck!

Trying to understand:
blue/purple stains
  • on my pillows--- which pillows would these be?
  • and on my Airfit n20 mask cushion inside it or outside it?
  • and water chamber of my Airsense 10 machine. inside or outside the water chamber? floating in the water? coloring the water? staining the bottom of the water chamber and leaving the water clear?.

Every few years, somebody reports stains with no logical source mentioned.
We never hear how it turns out, because when the poster finally remembers
what was going on, they are too embarrassed to follow up.
We can only guess about the staining agent.
A full listing of Rx and OTC meds recently used is needed.
Some foods/meds metabolize oddly, making blue urine--and who knows what else.
