Respironics blower failure - SleepyinMTL - 12-03-2016
My Respironics System One (a backup unit I use while traveling) just died in the middle of the night.
I suspect it is the blower due to the noise it makes while attempting start-up.
Is there a built-in diagnostic tool and code that would confirm this ??
Unit has about 9500 hours of usage.
I figured it would cost $200+ to have it repaired and just ordered a Resmed
Airstart 10 Auto as a replacement for about $400 with overnight delivery.
My home machine is a Resmed Airsense 10 Auto.
How common is it for a blower to die after about three years usage ?
Do the Resmed blowers typically last longer ?
Thanks !

No idea how common it is, but my S9 gave up the ghost about then.
