Why has the DeVilbiss Medical Equipment airflow stopped and reports mask leak?
- D
  Dennis GreenSep 13, 2025
  The airflow may have stopped unexpectedly, or the device may report a mask leak due to: * The Auto-STOP feature detecting a large airflow because of a loosely fitting mask. To resolve this, make sure you have a good mask fit by adjusting the mask and headgear. * Mouth breathing during use. Contact your equipment provider for a chin strap or a different mask to prevent mouth breathing. * The optional humidifier chamber not being fully engaged or is missing. Slide the humidifier chamber fully into the cradle, and verify the release latch clicks into place. * The air supply port plug missing or not fully inserted. Ensure the air supply port plug is fully inserted into the device.

What to do if my DeVilbiss DV63 Standard Plus Medical Equipment blower doesn't start?
- C
  Christina SanchezAug 23, 2025
  If the blower on your DeVilbiss Medical Equipment does not start, begin by checking the LCD display for error codes. If you see error code E01, replace the control PC board. If the display is blank or shows error codes E02, E07, E08, or E09, proceed to check that all wire harnesses are securely connected. Then, measure the resistance of PC board fuse F2; it should indicate a short or 0 ohms. If it's open, replace the control board. Finally, install a known good blower to see if it runs. If it does, replace the original blower, test for 6 hours, and perform sound testing. If the known good blower doesn't run, replace the control board.
