I have had two breathing emergencies lately caused by ignorance about how to clean trilogy and my nose pillow masks.
we didn't realize there was little foam filter On trilogy that needs cleaned weekly. It became totally clogged after a year. I thought it was just me and breathing decline.
the second issue was we were not cleaning tiny holes on nose pillow mask,. It caused water build up in tubing that felt like drowning.
we were vigilant about cleaning tubing, humidifiers and nose pieces. But these other errors were unnecessary and stupid. I'm trying to save the rest of you from my mistake,.
the moral of this story is know your equipment!
