I am a news reporter, and ResMed 10 and 11 owner, and think your post is off kilter. RE: Solvent smell coming from new Airsense 11 - Acmill - 03-06-2024 I was a newspaper reporter for nearly 30 years. I received prepaid postage from my Cpap supplier to send the machine to resmed for possible repair and investigation. The report back to the CPAP supplier from Resmed was that the machine was irreparable. When I enquired further, the supplier contacted the Resmed. I got an email from the supplier with a copy-pasted note from Resmed noting the “faulty PCB” I understood you are supposed to run a new machine to air in out. I was really trying my best and decided to run it inside and outside (hoping fresh air might help). Maybe it was wishful thinking. Probably should have given up after 30 hours. Anyway I was just commenting on this site to give insight to others. I don’t need a debate. If you don’t believe me, feel free to believe whatever you wish.

I applaud your 30 years of reporting. It speaks to your character and ability. Sorry, did not mean to upset or debate you. Some have pointed to issues with the foam inside, and I may open my unit up and remove. Whoever you are, I sincerely wish you the best. RE: Solvent smell coming from new Airsense 11 - twdc33 - 09-23-2024 I've had my machine for just over a year. The smell if pretty obvious. It smells like glue or some chemical. I have an appt with my DME this week and I'm hopeful they will be able to rectify with new machine etc but not getting my hopes up. Also, this machine gets a terrible plastic smell if the water chamber runs dry in the night. Its a much worse smell than the one coming from the machine, or maybe it is coming from the tank even wet? Please report this issue to your DME suppliers. I talked to mine today and they do not have any records of this. RE: Solvent smell coming from new Airsense 11 - Fplummer3 - 10-18-2024 Add me to the list. Took a long time to get my Aircurve 11. Got it home, set it up to try (using old mask and hose). Very strong anticeptic like smell. Stopped after a few minutes, found my nose and throat were irritated. Resolved after a few hours of coughing and gaging. Smell not as bad that night, but woke up hoarse in the morning. 4 day in, its getting better, changed filter, but smell is definitely coming from inside motor unit. Hope we all don't die like the poor Phillips users |
