I don’t know where it was made, or how. Perhaps the glue or the noise insulation are to blame in newer models? It just seems like the Idea of Progress assumes that products will improve over time and AutoPaps have not done so. Perhaps they have become more profitable to their makers. But they have not improved!

Eight years ago I could not get an AutoPap through Medicare, so rather than accept a basic CPAP I paid for mine out of pocket. I’d do it again if any newer models were worth buying. They are not.

Seems to me I’ve read that, due to toxic odor, Phillips PAPs were recalled. Suggest talking to your DME supplier! Always test new machines in your DME’s office. Do not accept any which stink because they will always stink, and this may have negative consequences for your health. Best wishes.
