Mucus Build Up

Post by veast » Mon Nov 12, 2007 5:32 am

On the RemStar Pro 2, (CFLEX) where the in-line heater comes out of the CPAP into the smallchamber and then in to the larger chamber orior to going into the tube leading to the hose and pask. In the small chamber coming out of the CPAP into the heat chamber, I'm gettiing a lot of mucus, frothy, stuff blocking chamber. What do I have going on and what is the remedy.

What are you putting in the humidifier? You should be using only distilled water. Do you clean the humidifier? Are you certain you got it thouroughly rinsed?
