Checking pressure
Is there anyway to check the pressure on a Resmed Airsense 10 as I think mine is lying.
Ever since it was serviced?? I feel that the pressure is too low It might say 14.6 but it does not feel like 14.6

RE: Checking pressure
You can buy a pressure meter. It’s used by attaching to the hose. Just search “ cpap pressure meter”

RE: Checking pressure
A "down-n-dirty" check is to fill a container with water that is at least 18cm in height. Place the CPAP hose end where it is touching the container's bottom. Turn on the CPAP - Mask Fit. Slowly retract the hose until you see bubbles starting to form from the hose end. Turn off the CPAP, otherwise the following step can make a big mess. Measure the length of the hose from the top of the water to the hose end. This will equal the pressure being used.
I would recommend you do this in a tub or large sink. . . just in case. If you don't, the wife may NOT be amused. - Red
