Why is it taking so long with Phillips either fixing or replacing the recalled machines that are linked to cancer. This is truly pathetic the information that is being presented to the people who have the recalled machines.

Well thats exactly what they said to me.

The V.A. said the same thing. I found it hard to believe as well! I'm not making this up!

If you continue to use the recalled device you should be using an inline filter. I did for months while waiting on my replacement Bi-PAP and changed them every 5 to 7 days when they turned gray from the particulates coming off of the foam.

@Courtney_J my CPAP in in the recall, and I have registered it twice, with no response or update! I have not discussed this with my physician, as quite honestly, if it's cancer causing, I don't want to use it.

in the interim, my husband's CPAP has died, he had to go for another sleep study, and got a new CPAP! WTH????
