Phillips filter to “fix” the fiber isue
All, I was impacted by the recall and had stopped using my system. While at my low T doctor, he said that they have this device ($3.50) for patients to use to remove fibers, etc and gave me one. Something to check out.

RE: Phillips filter to “fix” the fiber isue
That is a common anti-bacterial filter that goes between the machine and the tube, and has been suggested by Philips as well. If you use this, there is a setting on your machine for the AB filter that should be set to yes. These filters are effective in preventing any particulate from reaching the mask, however they have a life of about 2-weeks, then need to be changed. Watch for any darkening of the filter which may be mildew or other growth in the warm, moist air, and change the filter if you see that.

Philips has withdrawn the recommendation to use the AB filter. The problem is that it will get the larger stuff, but it's the particles which are small enough to get through the filter which are really dangerous.
