RESMED ARISENSE 10 "OUTLIVED LIFE"

Hey guys,
i get this message on machine ever time I turn it on now. Still seems to run fine, but obviously concerning. I have a back up that I use for travel, but now wondering if I should be looking to replace it. Thoughts?

If you are getting that message it's Resmed warning you that the CPAP is nearing end of its life. You must have at least 7 years and 20,000+ hours on it. It may last for 6 mor months or it could stop tomorrow. I would start shopping.

New blower motors are available on Amazon

Assuming your insurance will pay most of a new machine, I would get a new machine and keep the old one as a backup.

Thank you all! I guess I"ll be shopping. Can't believe how expensive they've gotten. I wonder if an upgrade to the 11 would be in order.

My insurance seems to be crap for CPAP supplies. BUT, I was looking at upgrading to the Air Sense 11. I see online prices range wildly from $750 to over $1,000. Any idea why the huge range in prices?

It's what economists call an imperfect market. The two main factors in the CPAP market are government regulations of DMEs and a limited number of machine manufacturers.

In a more competitive market with fewer regulations, market prices would have a tighter range.

I've seen the AS10 on sale at various online stores for half of what one of mine cost 8 years ago. I went to AS11 but didn't like the smell it produced so back to AS10. My old AS10 (used for five years) is a backup now. The current AS10 will be replaced in 2.5 years unless it breaks before then.
