Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Philips Sleep and Respiratory Care.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Philips CPAP or BiPAP machine shows a 'mask leak' alert, remove and reseat the mask cushion, adjust the headgear for a snug but comfortable fit, and run the mask fit check feature to ensure a proper seal.
For humidifier errors like 'humidifier not detected' or water in the tube, empty and refill the water chamber to the maximum line with distilled water, ensure it is properly seated, and check that the tube is securely connected to both the device and mask.
If the device is not powering on, verify that the power cord is firmly connected to both the device and a working electrical outlet, and check that the power supply brick LED is lit; if not, try a different outlet or replace the power supply.
When experiencing therapy interruptions or low pressure, inspect the air filter and replace it if dirty or discolored; also check the air inlet for blockages and ensure the device is placed on a hard, flat surface away from curtains or bedding.
If you see a 'SD card error' or data not recording, remove the SD card, gently clean the contacts with a dry cloth, and reinsert it until it clicks; if the error persists, format the card (backup data first) or replace it with a Philips-approved SD card.
