Good to know. I keep waiting for mine to die, but it's been rock solid for years.


How old is yours?

I used mine almost every night for about 6 years and started to notice that I was almost feeling like I felt before I started using the CPAP in the first place. I was drowsy by 10am again.

My CPAP was one that got recalled and the replacement finally showed up...and sure enough when I started using the new one, I started to feel refreshed again.

Point being--it "seemed" like my old CPAP was working fine. It sounded the same and felt like it was putting out enough air, when in reality it was crapping out on me

If you have had it over 5 years, it may be time for a new one.

It's 8 years old. I had it retested/adjusted by a sleep doctor maybe 3 years ago. He didn't detect any issues with it and as far as I can tell it's rock solid. It's a Philips Respironics System One REMstar SE.

It looks like online suppliers recommend changing every 5 years. I'll talk to my PCP about it.
