RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - videomagician - 06-29-2021

I tried to purchase a new Resmed Autoset from one of the forum sponsors, but gave up after several days of back and forth with "we're sending you a machine" to "we're out". They finally tried to sell me a used machine for what I'd already paid for a factory sealed one. I declined the offer. I finally received a refund after three days.

I guess I'll just do surgery on the DS to remove the foam as I don't like dealing with unscrupulous companies.

Did anyone receive an email or any other confirmation via outreach from Philips after registering their device on the recall website? I received a pop-up window with a confirmation number, but that's all -  no email confirmation. Just making sure I didn't mess something up.

videomagician - Apnea Board does not have corporate sponsors. This board is supported mainly by member donations and a slight smidgen from Google Ads, with the latter declining as time goes by.

Yeah, we might actually have a donation by 2025.   Bigwink Too-funny 

I'd suggest if anyone wants to help out, don't wait for Philips to pay out first - you'll be waiting several years most likely.   Cool

Donate now if you can help to keep Apnea Board online, instead.   :Coffee:

My wording was incorrect.

I should have said the Forum's "Supplier List" rather than Sponsor.

Pardon my gaffe.

Just a note on an update for my brother’s DS machine. He stuffed it on a shelf, called all his medical contacts and as we know , got absolutely nowhere. So he bit the bullet, bent over the trash can and ordered a new Resmed airsense 10 yesterday morning from CPAPdirect, for 779.00….It shipped today free with a Ups track #. Promise time kept. All ordered online with a Rx supplied by his sleep doc.

You can post the name of the DME, no problem.  It's a link to their commercial website that you can't post.  Or if it's one of the DME suppliers listed on our Supplier List, you can simply refer to them as Supplier #X or whatever, and folks can look up the website address on that list.

The Supplier List is here:
http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-CPAP-Supplier-List

That Supplier List link is also at the top of every forum page, in the dark horizontal bar area.

There are specific legal reasons as to why we don't allow most commercial links here.  Just be assured that we have solid reasons for this policy since  we've been threatened with a lawsuit, which is what brought about this policy.  (CPAP manufacturers generally don't like what we do here).  I know people won't likely understand the reasons why it's necessary, but we simply ask you to work around it in order to keep us out of legal entanglements.  This policy is what allows us to freely distribute copyrighted Clinician Manuals under "Fair Use" copyright law in a way that avoids more trouble with CPAP manufacturers, keeping focus on the "educational nature" of this website and forum,

Yep, saw your edit-- that's one way to do it.   Coffee 

Kind of a pain, but you're helping us stay out of trouble, for which I'm personally grateful.  Smile
