No one is expecting an immediate response from Philips Respironics in the form of a new machine or an immediate repair/replacement of the foam. Therefore you must take action to correct the situation.
=====Action=====
# purchase an in-line AB antibacterial filter ''(search for "antibacterial filter for cpap" on Amazon or another site)'' to catch any and all foam particles. Note that this will do nothing for the off-gassing.
# purchase a new non-affected CPAP that is the equivalent or upgrade of your current machine. Word is trickling out that at least some insurance companies are allowing replacement prior to the 5-year lifetime. Call and ask, you likely will need a prescription and possibly a justification (the Do NOT use Recall) note from your doctor, again ask.
# For questions please as on your favorite Apneaboard forum.
