ResMed AirSense 10 not holding power in Paris
I live in the US and I'm trying to use my ResMed AirSense 10 CPAP machine while staying in Paris, FR. The machine is a 50-60hz, 100-240v, and 90W. I have european adaptors and when I plug it into the Power outlet, the green light on machine comes on for about 1/2 a second and shuts off. The CPAP machine is not able to hold power. I tried running it the through a variety of adapters and a Travel Smart auto adjust converter (110-240) 0-1650 Watts ( not recommended for electronic circuitry products). It works for about 1-2 hours and then the converter and machine shut down. Don't know why the machine doesn't work without the converter and automatically adjust to the local power when plugged in. Appreciate any assistance from someone who has been in this situation or used this machine overseas. Thank you.

Yes...I've tried outlets throughout the apartment. Going to a local electronics shop to see if they can assist.

I had a similar thing with an S9 in Spain. It worked correctly for the first hour. Thereafter it would run for around a second. I ended up getting a replacement machine.
