Troubleshooting your CPAP Machine - ResMed AirSense 10

Andrea from Rochester Oxygen & CPAP goes over how to troubleshoot some of the common issues our patients face when using their CPAP machines.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My CPAP stopped in the middle of the night last night. So did my lamp and my adjustable bed. I pushed the surge protector and the lamp and bed came back on but not the cpap. I watched your demonstration for about a minute thirty. When you said the plug has to be really plugged in hard, I thought oh please let it be that easy. It was. My cord from the wall to the transformer was plugged in but not really "plugged in hard". It's working. And now I'm going to take a nap. You saved this old lady.

You are a life saver. ❤
I was panicking that my CPAP wasn’t blowing hard enough & I couldn’t breathe. The tank came loose.

One guy wrote that these have a tiny computer inside and might need to be rebooted like one. Unplug it from wall for a few minutes and plug back in. Viola! It worked for me. For those of you getting nasty stuff in your tank you should rinse it daily and once a week soak the whole tank in a mixture of white vinegar and water for 30 minutes to avoid mold. I won't it using approximately 2 cups vinegar and Three cups water. Make sure the whole tank is covered. Works like a charm. I clean my hoses and mask weekly using dawn dish soap and let air dry. Never use bleach! Also only use distilled water in the tank. Hope this helps!

A clear and pleasant presentation of possible difficulties and problems. At the same time, a very good presentation of the basics involved in setting up the CPAP machine - Resmed Autoset 10 in this case. Thank you very much, PNH.

Thank you so much! 🙏🏽 I followed your trouble shoot. Slept one night without machine. I couldn’t sleep. Next day I did go through and finally got it to work. 😉

3:30 The most important thing for me in this video. This white connector. Thanks!!

[marywitbeck]

Thanks so much. The electricity went out 3 hours ago, and I've been trying everything to get it back to work. After watching your video, I wss able to disconnect and reconnect the power pack. I never noticed the green light on it. Now for a good night's sleep, for a few more hours.

The best part for me was learning about the “hose disconnect.” Sometimes in the middle of the night I want to maybe grab something on the other side of the room but the hose doesn’t reach that far so I have to take my mask off while I’m half asleep! Not no more 😀

[conniecrespino]

First one that explained air coming out. Thank you. Thought it was leak.

[pakalikahickey]

You know I have watched this video three times and every time it has fixed another of my problems, this time was the part about the main hose hooking to any of the masks. I was given a new mask and couldn't get it to work and now I realized I left the quick disconnect part in the hose of the old mask, it all fits fine now, I was convinced I needed a new hose. THANKS

Question, just recently the machine is loud with air moving, my wife says it goes along with my breathing pattern and sounds like a ventilator at times. It will wake us up. I have cleaned everything, reattached everything but finally put the machine under the bed. Any ideas?

[waynemartin]

Andrea, thank you. I hope you have more videos for the AirSense 10 AutoSet.

[Jrglife]

Thank you soooo much it was stressing me out not being able to figure out where the leak was at

[dorciaable]

Great information and easy to follow. Thank you. ❤

[mattlau]

Thanks for the help with this, for me it was the water tank. It looked completely pushed in but after seeing your video I tried it and it fixed it. I was thinking I had a leaking mask or something

[jigginjohnson]

Man, I wish she showed me how to set up my cpap!!

[jimmydcricket]

Great instructions with a couple of high lights that made it great.

[chiffydragon]

Thanks. The breakaway tube from my last mask was indeed still stuck in there, whoops. Really appreciate the video.

[svendholme]

At the beginning of the video problems with "no power" were mentioned, in addition to checking for plugs not being inserted in all the way or a wall switch, also check if the outlet the CPAP power supply is plugged into is a GFCI outlet (ground fault circuit interrupter) it may have tripped. Be aware that a GFCI outlet may control several outlets in a room and may not be the one your CPAP power supply is plugged into.

Great video Andrea! Keep up the great work and keep growing this channel.
