[Equipment] New or Refurbished Machine?

[Mosquitobait]

thank you Sleeprider. The odor issue has resolved. Is it possible to clean the silicone seals and other parts? Is something like this part of a general yearly cleaning? Somewhere on this site I saw a link to a clinical PDF for the Resmed Airsense 10 machines. Maybe directions would be there.

You'll have to check with your DME, but I don't know of any that provide a cleaning or checkup of your machine, yearly or otherwise. I know my brother's new provider does, but they've messed up so much we may have to go back to Lincare.

Vert interesting thread! I just went and checked my "new" machine. I've used it 305 hours yet it has 578 run hours! Thanks for knowledge gained. An email has been sent to the DME.

If you're using the ramp, it counts toward run hours but not therapy hours.

Thank you. I have learned so much from everyone! It doesn't sound like it is such a good idea to take it apart to clean it. I'll leave well enough alone.
