How to be successful with cpap?

What do I need to do to be successful with CPAP if I don’t have a mask, moisture, or pressure problem?

Bad cpap machine?

:?: Has anyone had a bad cpap machine? And if so, how did you know- were the numbers erratic, or what do I look for if it’s not working correctly?
