Why do I have a dry mouth and throat when using the BMC Y Series Fan?
If you experience a dry mouth and throat while using the BMC Fan, it's likely because you're sleeping with your mouth open, causing pressurized air to escape and leading to dryness. To address this, try using a chin strap to keep your mouth closed during sleep, or switch to a full-face mask. For more detailed advice, it's recommended to contact your physician.
How to treat a cold caused by BMC Y Series Fan?
If you're experiencing a dry, cold, runny, or blocked nose, or feel like you have a cold while using the BMC Fan, it's likely due to the airflow and cold air irritating your nasal passages. The fast airflow can cause the air to become cold, leading to nasal mucosa irritation, dryness, and swelling. To alleviate this, increase the humidity setting on your humidifier. It's also advisable to contact your physician and continue any prescribed treatment unless they advise otherwise.
What to do if I have eye irritation using BMC Y Series?
If you're experiencing eye irritation while using the BMC Fan, it could be due to several factors. The mask size or model may not be correct, or the mask may not be positioned properly, leading to air leakage. Try narrowing the distance between the forehead support of the mask and your forehead. Be careful not to adjust the mask too tightly, as this can leave markings on your face. You can also add additional filling to the mask to prevent leaks. If the mask cushion (the soft part of the mask) hardens, replace the mask or mask cushion. If these adjustments don't resolve the issue, consider contacting your equipment supplier for a more suitable mask.
How to prevent water in the BMC Y Series mask?
If you're finding water in your BMC Fan mask, especially when using a humidifier, it's likely due to condensation of humidified air in the cold tube and mask, particularly if the room temperature is low. Try turning down the humidity setting or raising the room temperature. You can also place the tube under the quilt or use a tube cover. Ensure the tube hangs loosely, with the lowest part positioned lower than your head.
Why is my face red when using BMC Y Series?
If you're experiencing facial reddening while using the BMC Fan, several factors could be the cause. It might be that the mask is too tight, in which case you should loosen the headgear. The distance between the forehead support of the mask and your forehead may also be incorrect, so try a different distance, noting that the angle and size of the forehead support vary according to the type of mask. It's also possible that you're using the wrong mask size, in which case you should contact your equipment supplier for a correct-size mask. Finally, you may be allergic to the materials of the mask, so contact your physician and equipment supplier, use a latex-free mask, or place a lining between your skin and the mask.
Why are my sleep apnea symptoms returning with the BMC Y Series Fan?
If you're experiencing a recurrence of obstructive sleep apnea symptoms while using the BMC Fan, it's possibly because you're sleeping with your mouth open, which causes the pressurized air to escape and lead to blockage in the respiratory tract. To prevent this, try using a chin strap to keep your mouth closed during sleep, or switch to a full-face mask. Contact your physician for details.
What to do if I feel discomfort using BMC Y Series due to pressure?
If you're feeling discomfort due to an inability to adapt to the treatment pressure with the BMC Fan, it's important to know that it can take up to four weeks to adjust to pressurized air. Try to relax and breathe through your nose. If the problem persists, it's recommended to contact your physician.
Why does BMC Fan produce very low pressures?
If your BMC Fan is producing very low pressures, there are a few potential causes. The air inlet of the device may be blocked, so replace the air filter and clean the air inlet, ensuring it is unblocked. It's also possible that the treatment pressure has been changed accidentally, in which case you should contact your physician. Finally, if the Ramp feature is enabled, it's normal for the initial pressure to take some time to rise to the treatment pressure; if necessary, disable the Ramp feature or set the ramp time shorter.
Why is the air from my BMC Y Series so hot?
If the air delivered from your BMC Fan is abnormally hot, it could be due to a partially blocked air inlet, leading to insufficient airflow into the device. Try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air inlet. Also, ensure the device is placed in an area where air flows freely and is at least 20 centimeters away from any wall, curtain, or other obstructions.
How to fix a noisy BMC Y Series?
If your BMC Fan is too noisy, it might be because the tube is not connected properly. Reconnect the tube properly to resolve this issue.
