Really dumb question - LabDog66 - 11-09-2017 I just got a dreamstation auto bipap.  I want to use aromatherapy.  Where is the air intake? Thanks RE: Really dumb question - Walla Walla - 11-09-2017 On the side where the air filter is. The goes through the filter into your machine. RE: Really dumb question - Sleeprider - 11-09-2017 No dumb questions.  It is located at a slot on the right side of the machine in front of the humidifier.  A door opens at that location to allow you access to the intake filter.  The smaller slot forward of the filter is the SD card. You should request a free copy of the setup manual. http://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-pressure/change-cpap-pressure-settings-adjusting-your-machine-with-a-clinician-setup-manual RE: Really dumb question - Ockrocket - 11-09-2017 In the photo above... the dark blue thing is the filter ( obvious, I know   ), it will probably also have a micro-filter attached to the bottom of the filter - usually pale blue in colour with white filter material. The main filter can be washed for re-use, and although not recommended.. I have also washed and re-used the micro-filter for the last 12 months as well - just to see if it could be done, and for how long.  When the filter cover is closed there is a small vent gap it draws air in through, so placing something that emits a fragrance/aroma/scent next to your CPAP machine near that vent intake should work. Some nights I think I need a jar of Vicks Vaporub next to mine so the menthol fumes help to keep my nose from blocking.
