I have been using a Phillips cpap for at least 9 years. It is a REMstar PRO which showed was not a part of the recall, but the serial numbers for it shows that it is on recall list. I have not had any respiratory difficulties. What concerns me is the dampener being a carcinogen. Any information on the possibility of developing cancer. What to be alert of. If should have any diagnostic tests performed? Beg forgiveness if have posted in incorrect location. Thank You

Hello @lanceea67, Welcome to Connect. We are patients like you and not really qualified to discuss possibiities of developing cancer due to using one of the recalled devices. It would be a great question for your sleep medicine doctor. I replaced my Dreamstation CPAP that I had been using for a couple of years when the recall was announced.

Have you registered your CPAP for the recall or discussed possible actions or testing with your doctor?
