Machine Blowing Too Hard On Inhale—DreamStation 1
How can I fix a machine that's pumping out way too much air on the inhale cycle?
It's a DreamStation 1 that I received two weeks ago as part of the recall; it worked fine for 11 days but last night it went crazy on me and started this strange behavior.
According to the OSCAR stats the pressure never went above 13 but it felt like more. My average pressure is about 9.
That said it on the inhale phase the machine pumps out so much air that it causes its own leaks around the mask and I feel like I'm on a ventilator—I've never been on one, but the machine is putting out enough air to raise my chest slightly with each inhale. It's a little freaky. know I should take it to a repair station but the nearest one is 2000 miles away and my wife will make me sleep in the back yard if I send it away so that's more of a last-ditch effort.
So what do I do to fix this problem?
Thank you
