Airsense 10 - gregf69 - 10-22-2019
I have been using an Airsense 10 for a couple of years. What amount of time can i expect on the hour meter before it should be serviced or replaced?
How long do the units last?
I change filter about once a month and change the nasal pillows and heated air line every other month.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

G'day Gregf69. Welcome to Apnea Board.
Here in Oz we can get an extended warranty up to five years on these machines, so there's a reasonable expectation they will last substantially longer than that. In terms of hours you could do a rough calculation at 8 hours/night x 365 nights/year x 5 years = 14,600 hours as a minimum.

And unfortunately here is the US, the warranty period is 2 years, but the machine should last substantially longer.
Your insurance coverage, if you have it, will replace a machine every 5 years.
It appears you are doing all the right things, like replacing the filter, and keeping everything clean, but sometimes these machines go bad.
