→What others are doing
* calling their Doctor, DME, and insurance company to evaluate options
* some patients are attempting to 'de-foam' their DreamStation products (there have been reported failures and successes)
===De-Foaming===
No 'official' has said to de-foam the recalled devices, This includes Philips Respironics, FDA, Doctors Associations, etc.
The "de-foaming" movement is purely a user movement. Users basically saying it is taking too long to get devices replaced or repaired, most estimates state a year to complete.
Below are two threads on [http://ApneaBoard.com/forums Apnea Board forums] that discuss defoaming of the affected machines. Do so at your own risk.
