Wake up with a "cold " every morning using CPAP

I have a ResMed airsense 10
which I think is a good machine but I wonder how healthy it is to breathe through a machine that never gets opened up and cleaned. I do my part cleaning mask, tube, water tank, changing filter etc but the DME says the machines don’t need to be serviced.
I wonder about that. I also wonder what materials are inside there. Phillips got recalled but that doesn’t mean other companies aren’t guilty, just haven’t been caught.
Any thoughts on this?

Hi Kudzu,
Cute pen name!
It seems to me the problem with the Phillips PAP was that it exuded a toxic stink. When I tried the air sense 10 in my DME’s office it stank of plastic. In my experience that odor does not dissipate over time. That’s why I continue to use my wonderful and compactly designed ResMed S9 AutoSet. All I can suggest to you is to be sure you insist on hypoallergenic filters because they filter out the dust. If you can see through the filters you have been receiving, they can not do as good a job filtering to keep dust out of your machine. Hope that helps!
