Just got my DS2 as a result of recall. Your video was "spot on" in helping me setup my new DS2 without using the phone app. Call me old fashion but I love old fashion button pushing. Cheers!

I’m new to CPAP and your channel. You’re amazing and thank you.

Dude!! Thanks for this video. I just got a DS2 because of the recalls. When i started the machine it wouldn't go above 7.5. I was prescribed 15.0. After watching this...your explanation was fast and to the point and it worked. Thanks a million!!!

[jamesfulcher]

Thanks for the info. New machine was delivered today. I see some possible problems with tiny tabs breaking on the tank lid.

[robynjohnson]

Thank you! Your videos are always so very helpful. I have learned more from your videos than from medical professionals for the past five years. Had no clue about understanding ramp...did not really know I could look at my own statistics chart-wise. Did not even realize that I could change or re-set my own settings; was under the impression that only the professionals could do this. It is sad the lack of info the CPAP medical world hands you as you walk out into the world with your brand new baby...your CPAP! Thanks again for helping all of us fellow CPAPers. :)

Thank you for this info. It's too bad the industry feels like they need to conceal this data from patients but I guess it allows them to make even more money by forcing us to pay our providers to give it to us. YOU are an angel.

[Metromouse]

Your videos are a big help. This is my second cpap machine and I love the way you explain things that are new to me.

My replacement DS2 was delivered pre-programmed except the Flex Mode was off, as well as the AHI not visible. This video made it simple to turn those back on without having to contact my provider. The flex mode made a lot of difference in my comfort level and I would not have known what it was for except for this video. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Just received my re-placement for the recall and the instruction's to change the air pressure was lacking and I didn't want to have to pay to get it set by my Doctor. So quick and easy now to change the setting after watching your instructions.
Thanks again for the great video.

[bernieol]

Great video...just got a replacement DS2 (Phillips recall). Both Phillips and the DME would not help with settings. This did the trick in a couple of minutes!

[rainbowheart]

Just got my DS2 due to recall today. You are my go to for how to set up! Thank you so much. I'm in Texas.

[techsavvyhero]

Thanks for sharing all this helpful info. The DS1 used to work great until the recall halted the use of it. The DS2 replacement from the recall is good but menu is pretty limited. This video helps to get under the hood a bit. Cheers!

My DS2 pressure suddenly increased drastically. Pressure was too high to wear it. I had disassembled and cleaned it that day. I took a look and found the rubber seal between the water tank and electronics sections was barely, and I mean barely, misaligned. It was very slightly pushed in a tiny bit too far. Reinstalling that rubber seal very gently fixed the high pressure issue.

Nick you are the BEST at C-pap explanation 👏 Brother James 🙏

[gailjohnson]

Got my ds2 a couple of weeks ago and I was wondering why I couldn’t get it to start by just breathing like the old ds1 did. I stumbled onto your video and was able to look through the menus. Thanks for the info. I have to say the new machine is much quieter than the one that was recalled

[lawrence]

Thanks for the video. i a veteran that part of the recall, first CPAP was great, i hand washed mine so i had no problems. the new dream CPAP machine is even better. quiet and very great in solving my breathing. I recommend and enjoy my new CPAP machine to the max.

[SuzyShowtime]

Very Helpful and informative. Got my new machine and despite the fact the doctor instructions on my prescription clearly state to show me how to change the pressure I was told they were not allowed to show me the settings. Reason it is on my prescription is because as discussed with my doctor that he gave me a couple of choices for the pressure and to try it at the lower or higher setting and see if it would make a difference. I seem to find at different stress levels or time of year that the pressure does need to be changed. However my provider says can't show me how to change those settings which made no sense. So here I am at your channel and all the advice you provide is so helpful. Thanks.

I got my new dream station 2 advanced and this video was much better than the book I received with the machine. I tried to call Philips 4 times for the past 2 days with no luck (maybe they need indeed for more help) I purchased a resmed auto pap as soon as I got the recall and I like it much better, my insurance paid for it since my machine was recalled. A lady from Philips called me 2 months ago and I told her I didn't need a new 1 as I bought a resmed. She said they will ship it to me anyway so I can have a spare to travel with. I spent a good week fumbling around trying to figure this thing out and Thankfully I ran across Nicks video. Quite frankly I like the old Dream Station much better, not a big fan of fumbling around a tiny touch screen and the humidifier tank is poorly designed on the new 1. Than you Nick

Thank u so much for this video just got the new machine and now I can understand how it works and read it thank u

I recieved a SMS message from Phillips SRC to tell me they were sending a replacement for my series 60 Autoset.
I was a bit sus that it might have been a hoax so I called the Phillips help line.
They assured me it was genuine so I clicked the link and filled in the form asking me for a photo of my settings so they could program my machine for me.
I then got a message telling me that I would be receiving a "Dreamstation" on Monday.
I'm assuming it will be a DS2.
It's a nice feeling to know that if I want to make any adjustments, I can just as I could with my old one.
My first machine (purchased over 10 years ago) was faulty.
I had to return it after a couple of days.
The therapist removed the provider book from that first machine in front of me but she forgot to do it when she gave me the replacement machine.
So I was able to get into my settings then.
I have not been back to the sleep therapist since then.
My apnea is well controlled.
I resent having these people forcing themselves into my life (they have tried).
Your video gives me the power to take control when my replacement machine arrives.

Has anyone got any experience in Australia about what happens if you don't return the old machine?
I hear this stuff about keeping it as evidence, but I'm not sure if that is over the top, or if it is even something one would be able to get away with here.
