CPAP shut off on me whist asleep!

Posted by Train Master on November 07, 2002 at 16:20:49:

Hello people,

I had werid experince when I snoozing nicely and all of a sudden my CPAP smart feature activates and shuts off my machine right in middle of my sleep!!!

With happening like that , who needs a alarm clock??? it happen twice in morning before I woke up. It is a shocking feeling waking and relizing that your machine had shut off on you and PlusI had try restart it again whist still half asleep, what a way to start a day!!!

It woke me up from sleep twice. But oddly enough as it happened with my nose peice frimly on my nose still. I did not take my mask of my face, and it shut off on me. What do you think has triggered my machine off to shut off like that whist I am still asleep?
