Hi, Sorry to hear you’re experiencing coughing and cold-like symptoms with your ResMed AirCurve ASV machine. This can sometimes happen due to dryness or irritation from the airflow.
Here are a few tips that may help:
- Ensure your humidifier is on and properly adjusted to provide enough moisture. Using distilled water helps prevent irritants.
- Regularly clean your mask, tubing, and humidifier chamber to avoid buildup of allergens or bacteria.
- Check the fit of your mask to minimize air leaks that could cause throat irritation.
- Consider using heated tubing if available to help warm the air and reduce dryness.
- Keep up with your machine’s care and maintenance schedule.
Recommended replacement frequency:
- Mask cushions/pillows: every 1–3 months
- Full mask frame: every 3–6 months
- Tubing: every 3 months
- Filters: every 1–3 months (disposable), or clean reusable filters weekly
Replacing worn components helps maintain comfort and prevent issues like irritation or infection.
