Is Resmed Airfit N10 Short Hose Replaceable

Post by 2Tim215 » Mon Mar 12, 2018 1:44 pm

Hello, I haven't visited for quite some time, sorry! I learned a lot here.

I am having trouble locating a new DM and mine AH, no longer serves my area and turned their clients over LC.

I have been without my CPAP for two weeks because the short hose developed a split in it. It doesn't appear to be removable and I can't find a decent price for the face assembly for my Resmed Airfit N10 anywhere. I have a medical card through our private insurance but some places it doesn't work. I need help. Appreciate all replies.

Sadly, I had no choice to try and tape it up with medical tape. Worked for one night. Maybe Gorrila Glue duct tape? Not sure about it being sterile though, lol.

Gorilla tape (my solution to fix anything broken :lol: )...and it doesn't have to be sterile anyway.

I can't find a cheap source for the assembly kit either. Ebay sometimes but not today. Not on Amazon either.
All the online prices of 68...that's because ResMed does the price fixing so that places can't discount the ResMed products.

I do know of a place for a reasonably price entire mask system though...not sure about what size you need but I sent you a PM.
And the guy that does that website just left on vacation...so I don't know if he has someone else at his business to do shipping out while he is gone.

There's a stretchy silicone type tape that fuses to itself and is used to temporarily repair leaks in plumbing. Might try something like that. Rescue Tape is one brand I know of. Looks like there are several brands and it does come in clear.

Thank you for your comment. I should have added in my post that the split is right at the point where the hose is attached to the Face Assembly and my efforts to tape it up had actually blocked some or most of the small airway holes which wasn't a good thing.

I was hoping someone out here had one that maybe switched Masks. I have severe Sleep Apnea like a lot of us here. And waking in the morning is terrible to the affects that I suffer until I'm breathing normally once I'm awake for awhile. I bought a lot of extra parts, but unfortunately not the one I needed.

I'll have one on the way soon but they are closed until the 18th and then I have to wait for shipping. At least I know one will be here in a week or so but I just can't take another morning like it is now.

After this I'm going to look into a new mask that has a removable short hose for Nasal breathers. I'll probably post when I'm ready to get some input in another post. Thanks again!
