IBreeze - Shutting Off

IBreeze - Shutting Off
I started using the iBreeze two nights ago and it keeps shutting off during the night. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on what is going on? No warning or errors...

RE: IBreeze - Shutting Off
I'm not real familiar with the iBreeze, but it might be an issue with the Auto Start feature. Go into the Clinicians Menu and check to see if the Auto Start function is on or off. Turn it to off and see if you continue to have this problem. I think the default setting is ON.

From the manual:
"When the Auto Start function is on, the system will start therapy automatically if a breath with mask is detected. During therapy, if the mask is removed more than 5 seconds, the therapy mode will stop."

I just got that machine myself. I’m still reading the manual.  Plus I need to call and get a new mask in order to try the machine.  (Unless I skip the wait and use my old AirFit mask to test it.  That’s the brand mask I plan to request anyway.)

My point is:  have you found out anything?  I’m joining you on that machine. Does you DME or doctor provide any help?

RE: IBreeze - Shutting Off
I am brand new to sleep apnea and literally just found this board tonight after first looking for better masks, then wondering about the machine I got.  I’ve been using the resvent ibreeze for only about two weeks now, and this has happened to me twice already.  I wake up in the middle of the night and have to rip the thing off my head because I can’t breath.  After searching for any reviews at all on this machine, it looking more and more like it’s just a cheap Chinese machine companies are looking to pawn off on unsuspecting consumers.  No reviews on any apnea boards (I found 2 on those and some medium-to bad reviews on Reddit) where most had no idea about them or thought they were cheap.  I just want to sleep one night and feel rested, and now I find out I’m even getting scammed by these drs yet again.

Since I’ve been using a Resmed AirSense Cpap for 7.5 years, I decided I didn’t want to retrain my sleep patterns for a different company’s algorithm. I returned the iBreeze unused. 

It being the holidays, we are still faffing around to find a DME who’ll take my insurance and also has Resmed units.  But I’ve told my doctor that I’ll buy the machine outright, if I have to, rather than have another brand.  So we shall see ….

My existing machine has just put up the notice “Motor life exceeded, contact care provider.” It’s still working, though.

I have been using the i breeze for just over 90 days.  The Last 2 night my machine has shut down for 5 to 15 minutes at a time. I don’t think I am doing it.  I reset the machine today. Unplugged for ten mins and will see how it goes today

RE: IBreeze - Shutting Off
Hey Chuck, I'm new to the Apnea game as of 1/4/23 also and was wondering how OpalRose's restart idea worked out for you?  I also recall waking up a few times during the night and not able to get a breath. I thought I just had something jacked in my settings but after reading your post, I'm sure the brown out happened to me too.  Myself being such a nube to the world we now live/breath in I was unaware of how the machines worked and what to expect. I did know the name ResMed because I was given a loner AirSence10 during my home trial with a CPAP machine.   If I had known about Apnea Board and all the great info here I would have told my sleep center to pound sand with the ResMed knock-off I now have.
Sorry for the long wind, let me know how and what you did to fix the mysterious brown outs with the NoSence iBreeze unit.

I was told to unplug for 10 min and then restart.  That seems to have solved the problem.
