- Good day mates.
Old mate Nico, isolating at home at the moment.
I've just been and had a COVID test.
One of those drive-through ones where you line up
and it takes about four hours.
And then when they get to you,
they grab that probe and jam it up into your hypothalamus
and wiggle it around.
Feels like they tickling the inside of your brain.
Now, hopefully it comes back all right.
But just last couple of days,
I've been feeling pretty average.
I've got a lot of stuff going on up here.
Having a hard time sleeping, some headaches.
So I thought I'd just go and check myself out,
but hopefully all is okay.
So I'm just self-isolating.
Now, Emma, on our Facebook group.
Hello Emma.
She's a Victorian just like me, and she was kind enough
to send through her Resmed S9, AutoSet machine.
Now I had noticed that
some of the Resmed communication coming out
always mentioned just the AirSense 10 machine.
They never kind of said, well, all our machines are fine.
So I just thought I'd grab one
just to have a little sticky bake.
And here's what I found.
Let's go inside and let's have a look at it.
All right, come inside guys.
I'll just give you a little bit of a look see
at Nico's home office.
So this is my little bench here
where I do most of my editing, and a little computer there.
And then over here is where I do some of my recording.
I used to do it with a green screen,
so I could change the background,
but now I just do it here with a little light.
And this is my little bench.
And then I have my little esky there
in case I need a cold beer and that's it guys.
So, but anyway, let's have a look.
So this is the Resmed S9 machine,
the model before the AirSense 10.
And it's a bit of a prick to tear down,
I'll say it that much.
It's a lot easier to tear down the more modern machines,
but I managed.
And I'll just give you a bit of a look around.
So this is a sort of a casing.
This is where your turbine sits in there.
This is your outer shell. This is the bottom shell.
This is the foam.
It's a really big, thick piece of foam.
From what I can gather,
it looks and feels like the same foam
they've used in the AirSense 10 machine, I think.
I'm not a hundred percent sure,
but it looks the same, it feels the same.
And then this is your PCB board.
Filter cover.
Now this is what I really want to show you here.
Check this out, it's the one I took apart.
I'll just hold it up nice and close so you can see.
Can you see that?
There you go, you can see it now.
Have a look inside the turbine of the S9.
Have a look at the gunk inside of the turbine.
It is just filled with gunk.
And this is why I was saying earlier
that Resmed either,
they need to come up with a better filtration system.
Now this is a hypo filter.
So it's a better filter than the standard filter.
Actually that's not even a hypo filter,
I don't know what that is.
That's like a bunch of...
Emma's got a bunch of five filters, does she?
That's one way to sort it out Emma, good on you.
I don't know what effect that's going to have,
but look at that.
That's great, I hadn't see that, fantastic.
Well, whatever she was doing,
it wasn't stopping all this gunk getting in.
So Resmed needs to either
fix up the filtration systems on their device,
or they need to enable customers to buy these.
50 bucks. That's all it cost.
50 bucks. Let us buy new turbines,
so that we can get nice clean turbines.
Because this here...
There is no way to get into this turbine really
and clean that out.
I'm gonna bust it open with an ax now.
I'm just going to get my ax
and just bust the whole thing open.
So we can pull it apart and have a look.
But it is just chock a block full of crap.
And I wouldn't want to be...
I wouldn't want that pumping air into my lungs.
I can tell you that much. Night after night.
It looks like rubbish.
All right, so let's have a look here.
Look at that.
That is just disgusting.
What do I say all the time?
What's the number one killer on C-PAP machines?
Dust.
Now this is, I don't know if...
I think it's just dust, but,
I mean it's a real dark sort of chalky.
Look inside the poor turbine, it is just...
Look inside the fan. See that, inside the fan?
This is why they break down guys.
You can just see here. They get noisy
cause you get so much of this stuff inside them
and then they just get noisy.
That's how it still turns, but anyway, it's just,
it's not hygienic, is it?
When you think about it, it's just not hygienic.
So they need to do something about that I think.
Look at it all.
It's all just coated.
You can see every fan.
Thanks for watching guys.
Just before I go,
I want to remind you
that if you are using a Resmed machine an S9,
an AirSense 10, air sense 11, whatever it is,
make sure you use the hypoallergenic filters,
the ultra fine ones.
Those standard filters are rubbish.
They gonna let a whole lot of dust and debris
into your machine and also into your lungs.
So make sure you use the hyper ones.
They're gonna catch a whole lot more dust
and they're also going to help with allergies
and other stuff as well.
So hypoallergenic filters all the way.
And also I know Resmed will be watching.
I think they need to tidy up their game
with their filtration systems
and also look at letting us replace those turbines.
That S9 turbine is the
same as that used in the AirSense 10 as well.
And a big thanks to Emma
and to all the people
on the YouTube and also on our private Facebook group.
And just a reminder as well
that the air sense 11 giveaway is finishing up tomorrow.
Chances of winning are like one in 400.
So make sure you head across that page,
say hello to everyone and join that great community.
I'm gonna go rest up guys.
I am feeling like shit.
I'll see you soon. Have a great day.
Bye for now.
