    What to do if there's too much water in my SEFAM DreamStar Duo Humidifier mask?
    • C
      christopherclarkAug 23, 2025
      If you notice excessive water droplets in the mask or patient circuit of your SEFAM Humidifier, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the water level in the water chamber exceeds the maximum fill line and pour out any excess. A small amount of water droplets can be normal, especially in winter. You can also adjust the heat level of your device. Additionally, try routing the patient circuit under your blanket to reduce condensation.

      Jody EvansAug 25, 2025
      If your SEFAM Humidifier device isn't lighting up, start by checking that the power supply cord is correctly plugged into the power port, and ensure the cord is properly connected to both the device and the power source. Then, plug another device into the power source to confirm that the outlet is working. If these steps don't solve the issue, contact your home care provider.

    Why is the air from my SEFAM DreamStar Duo Humidifier too hot?
    • R
      Robert HolmesAug 26, 2025
      If the air from your SEFAM Humidifier is too hot, the air intake filters may be dirty, so clean or replace them as needed. Also, check if the air intake is blocked by bedclothes or clothing and move them away. Finally, the room temperature might be too high, so lower the room temperature and ensure the device is away from heat sources. Remove the patient circuit from under any covers.

      If you experience skin redness from your SEFAM Humidifier mask, the headgear may be too tight or the mask size may be too small; try adjusting the headgear. If redness persists, you might be having an allergic reaction to the mask components. In that case, stop using the mask and contact your doctor or home care provider.
