During the course of owning the DreamStation 1 for about a year and a half I never had a problem with particulates of foam showing up in the water tank or elsewhere. I never used an ozone type 'cleaner' which likely would have quickened the deterioration of the foam. On the side of caution I sent the DreamStation 1 to Philips to get the replacement DreamStation 2 which I've been using for about 2 1/2 years. I've had no issues with the humidifier overheating (the unit sits on a nightstand with nothing underneath that would hold heat near the unit such as a table cloth). Not too concerned about formaldehyde, as there is likely more around me in building construction products, furniture cushion foam, and in my vehicles than what might be emitted from the CPAP.

FWIW.... If you should proceed to attempt to remove the foam from your DreamStation 2 it will void your 2 year warranty

You can get into the clinician provider mode to view and change settings. A little tricky to get the finger swipe to work, but it should work. Make notes of what the setting was before you change it in case you need to get back to it.

Entering Provider Mode

Prescriptions are set via Provider screens that are

unavailable to patients.
With the device plugged in, press and hold the Therapy
button for several seconds. When the light ring around the
Therapy button begins flashing, continue to hold it down
while using another finger to swipe down on the screen
until “Entering Provider Mode” appears.

• Flex– This allows you to adjust the level of air pressure relief that you feel. when you exhale during therapy. Your home care provider can enable or disable this feature. When your provider enables Flex, a level will already be set for you on the device. You change the setting between Off, 1, 2, and 3. The setting of “1” provides a small amount of pressure relief, with ‘‘2’’ and ‘‘3’’ providing additional relief. Many new CPAP users enjoy the relief that flex provides, but some old-school users might find this feature different and may want it off.
