Topics:cpap malfunction

I have stopped using my new cpap because the humidifier does not seem to generate enough moisture.  I have double checked the connections and the water heater..do these machines ever malfunction or have recalls?

Hi Babadarma,

 

Here is a site that discusses common problems with the CPAP.  If the suggestions here do not solve your problem, contact your doctor or the manufacturer of your CPAP.
