System One Replacement parts? My new kazoo. - quickerNu - 07-29-2019
My Respironics System one Bilevel S/T took a little spill during my vacation travel. Now it makes a lovely kazoo sound unless I apply downward pressure to the elbow on the humidifier. I don't see any physical damage, but the humidifier lid or elbow itself is not sealing to the humidifier chamber properly. I have never replaced the gasket at the elbow- and I think that is what is making the noise. I would prefer not to replace the whole humidifier.
Does anyone have experience with this issue or advice regarding other fixes? As much as I rely on this machine, I have not done much to it other than chamber and tubing cleaning and replacements. Thanks!

The outlet gasket and elbow are inexpensive from Supplier #1. I think just order the parts and see what you get. The parts are the same for all PRS1 60 series CPAP, APAP and BiPAPs.

Thanks! Found the parts there! Hopefully fixes it. They were kind of gross looking, glad I had to look at them.

I should have mentioned that the silicone gaskets in the Dry Box separator also should be looked at. Again, the parts are inexpensive. The dry box seals are what keeps water from moving from the humidifier to the the blower, and when they wear out, they can be noisy.
