Slept last night with it and felt great this morning when I got up. It is easy to setup and use. I was impressed by the User Manual. Yes, the humidifier is a little difficult to pull out. In addition, the hose can be a little stubborn to get out. All in all, so far so good. One final note, it is quieter then my AirSense 10 that I had to send in for repairs.

I too had trouble taking the humidifier out 2 weeks , the person that brought the machine did a quick thing , not very reliable.
You must be a paid reviewer this is the loudest CPAP I own.
Omg THANK YOU!!!! My water tank gas outlet fell out and I watched so many videos to try to see how it went back in. None of them showed anything about it until your video! Way to cover all the details
Glad it helped!

I've been a CPAP patient for over 7 years. The motor on my old machine burned out after I had been waiting almost 18 months to get a new ResMed. So, I was forced to go with the IBreeze. It is a cheaply built P.O.S. Initially I had to work on the place where the power cord plugs in because a piece of wire was bent over and you couldn't plug power into it. Now no one seems to have an answer for why I'm experiencing pressure surges before I even go to sleep that are so strong they push the mask off my face. Then after that I have to fight to breathe as it feels like there is suction on the mask from the machine. Brand new it is noiser than my 7 year old with the motor going out ResMed. The hose is cheap and feels more like some sort of toy hose for a barbie doll house. The Humidity tank doesn't hold enough water for a good nights sleep and you can't even use the auto start and auto stop functions. It may have a bunch of features but trust me when I say they are truly useless. I'm going to pay for a ResMed out of my pocket because I can't get my insurance company to do anything about the fact that the IBreeze is a cheap piece of junk that should have never been sold to me or anyone else. It's worth the $1500 dollars to get rid of this horrible piece of junk. Shame on this guy for even help to pitch such a piece of junk. It's obvious he's not a patient and doesn't have to use this junk machine.
Thanks for your feedback Cliff. It may be a good idea to reach out to your provider and suggest education on the new machine and a walk through on all the features. There are some comfort features (flex comfort pressure relief) that can reduce your EPAP for easier exhalation. Hope things work out
totally agree with you!
The more research I do on this machine the more I see people describing the same problems I've had, even after trying a multitude of different settings. Even the "CPAP mode" it has seems to be an outright lie as it will still alter the pressure of its own accord and push the mask off my face.
This machine is giving me so many problems. 6 different masks and the mask test fails, everytime. It cant be something on my end. T
I have had this machine since Feb 22. I replaced my recalled Phillips.
This is a POS machine. It flutters and stutters when I am using it. My DME is incompetent and tests the machine and says it is putting out the correct pressure.
It connected to my wifi to relay data and that worked for about one month. Now it won't connect to WiFi and my DME will not warranty it, because wifi connection is a "luxury". For a $1200 machine, that is BS.
LinnCare is my DME, only because there is no one else in my local ares. They are the worse DME I have had in nearly 20 years of CPAP use.
Stay away from the Resvent machines they are CR#P for CPAP!!!!
This guy nailed it. This is extra what I needed to see, nothing more, nothing less.
Thank you for watching! We're glad this video helped.
Thorough and well edited.

Great review. What do you think of this device versus the resmed device?
ResMed devices aren't new to the market and are a reputable manufacture. Most sleep specialist are familiar with ResMed and have an easier time pulling compliance and data from the ResMed units. Since Ibreeze is fairly new, I wouldn't compare the two as the Ibreeze needs more time in the market to provide more feedback.

I am having an issue where when I take a deep inhale at night it limits itself. Like I’m overwhelming the machine. EPR at 1 pressure at 9, No ramp. Anyone else having that issue?
If you are feeling like you are not getting enough pressure you may need to visit your Dr to increase your set pressure or try an autoPAP therapy so there can be a wide range in pressure. Please do not forget to Like, Share & Subscribe for more CPAP and Sleep content.
Mine ramps up when I deep sleep and it tends to wake me up. I getba rush of air causing my mask to expand and leak. It gets in my nerves
Love this machine very compack and easy to use.
We agree!
My mother 77y got and used this machine 4 years ago for few months and stopped... But today she must use it again.
When we put this machine on the sector (on) it indicates on the screen this message:
Low battery charge, reports may not be saved
Yes No
Please tell me if there's a battery to charge or to change and where?
Thanks a lot
Hi, thank you for watching! There's a small button battery inside the iBreeze but the machine needs to be taken apart to change it. We suggest bringing the machine back to your supplier and have them take a look.
Hi, Does the plastic air outlet connector need to be removed when I clean the machine? I am having a hard time twisting the air outlet connector counterclockwise to remove it.
You can leave the air outlet connector on when cleaning :)
Can you use driking water instead of distilled?
We suggest using the distilled. It is free of minerals and bacteria, which helps keep your machine healthier for longer.
I've been using this machine for over a week now and I still am suffering from closed airway sleep apnea. Even though the screen reads CPAP it is "not a cpap machine", this is very much a BiPAP machine. The air pressure is not steady, it continuously stops while your exhaling and tries to measure how much your inhaling and exhaling. If you try to exhale more than inhale you could choke a bit because it wont let you exhale more than it wants to let you. This is due to the Intelligent Pressure Release (IPR).
While the humidity is set to auto I keep having to drain the hose of excess water every morning.
I am sorry to hear you may be struggling with your PAP device and therapy. My suggestion would be to contact your provider to pull up your compliance data and see if you can make some therapy changes.
Rain out in the tube can be caused by position of the tube, if it is dangling between your night stand table and bed, moisture may be pooling in the U of your hose. Also since the iBreeze doesn't have a heated tubing, you may want to purchase a hose wrap, here is a link for a generic one: www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/tubing/resmed-tubing-wrap-p-196.html.

i hated this machine, the 2 pressure settings made it like a plunger plunging my face every breath. i gave it back to medical supply company and using my dads regular cpap machine. would not recommend. i tried multiple settings without improvement
The more research I do on this machine the more I see people describing the same problems I've had, even after trying a multitude of different settings. As you describe, the "CPAP mode" it has seems to be an outright lie as it will still alter the pressure of its own accord.

Can we use it for paediatric patients and neoborns please?
This would be something you would want to speak to your child'S Dr about.
This is my first CPAP (APAP) machine and I have been using it for three nights now along with a nasal cradle mask. My physician set the pressure to only 5. But, I cannot go to sleep while using this machine. The inhalation/exhalation sounds are keeping me awake, and I also feel almost like I am being forced to breathe in an out in a pattern which matches the machine's inhalation and exhalation noises. Is this coming from the machine itself OR from the type of mask I am using? I just know that I am exhausted. Do you have any advice?
Hello Robin,
PAP therapy like anything Unfortunley takes time to get used to. I would suggest asking your Dr if all the comfort features have been turned on. If they can lower your pressure and my go to which is practicing while awake. Wear the machine while watching tv or reading to get comfortable with breathing.

I am doing this watching tv and then will fall asleep
Just received this model as a replacement for a broken down dream station. Used it for the first time last night and taking back today. This machine is SO loud I have trouble going to sleep and when I breathe in my mask on the flexible part kind of vibrates. There is a reason this machine is cheap. Must not have any insulation
Excellent review and through presentation of how to use.
Glad it was helpful!
Do you have to have a prescribed pressure to use this machine? I.e. is it just possible to keep it on an auto program?
There is not a set pressure that is prescribed. However, the machine does come with default settings which can be used by most. Regarding pressures it is always best to visit your sleep provider/sleep physician to ensure you are receiving the adequate amount of CPAP pressure. Thank you for watching.

Hello is there a way to turn the machine off or does it remain always in stand-by mode?
Hi there,
It would have to be unplugged for you to turn the unit off completely. Stand by mode helps with easy on and stop process. Please don't forget to hit that like and subscribe button.
My resent tries to guess my breathing
While breathing, it shoots high-pressure, and then sometimes no pressure in the settings. I need to know how to set it for continuous airflow.
Hi, thank you for watching! Sounds like you want to set your machine to CPAP mode. Before making any changes to your settings, please make sure you talk to your doctor. That said, here's how to access your settings:
You can change therapy mode by pressing the Ramp button on top of the machine and pushing the round knob down at the same time. Hold both down for at least 5 seconds. You'll see "APAP" at the top of your screen showing that you are in APAP or auto CPAP mode. Select this and then you can change your mode to CPAP.
Very new to this, no matter what I do, my full face mask always shows needs adjustment. Any help or links appreciated
Hi John, seems like you may have a poor sized mask. I would suggest getting your mask fitted at a provider, or feel free to call us at 866 936 3754 we can make some suggestions on a new mask style for you. Please do not forget to Like, Share and Subscribe for more CPAP and Sleep videos.
This is the issue I have and my daughter has even tried to assist me with my mask I have only 2 stars no matter what we try
Had mine for a year now and only experience a problem (error code) when I over fill the tank. At the full line or a millimeter above and it will shut down. That means pulling out the tank, trying to get the excess water out of the machine inside. Then turn it on tis side to the water can drain out of the machine and dry out. Bad part is you can't use it till it all dries out. Usually the next evening.
Hello Donald,
it might be best to fill the water just under the max line. I would suggest speaking to your provider to advise the issue and it might be a machine malfunction.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I just bought the ibreeze CPAP. During the initial setup, I entered the wrong date into the system. Now it won’t allow me to adjust the date. I get the message “ Time setting cannot exceed from the last report time” . How can I reset the date? Thanks.
You will have to factory reset your machine. Contact your provider and have them walk you through the process or take it into the office.
Thank you, simple and very clear

Is there any way to turn off the mechanism that makes breathing in and out easier. Turning IPR doesn't work. Any ideas?
Hello Robert,
Yes there is, my suggestion would be to contact your CPAP provider for assistance or feel free to contact RespShop at 1866 936 3754 to book a medical consultation with one of our medical staff.
Thank you for watching!
After a power outage mine locks down with a data message for over an hour. Any thoughts.
Hello Sam,
Try unplugging it and leaving it for about 15 minutes, when plugging it back in try a different outlet and do not use an extension cord.. If that does not help, please contact your provider.
Thank you for watching! If you liked our video, please don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more CPAP and Sleep related videos!
How do adjust the pressure minimal to three, maximum to 10 please
The minimum pressure only goes down to 4 on this machine. To change your pressure settings, you'll need to enter the provider menu: press and hold the ramp button and the round knob for about 5 secs.
You'll want to change your mode to APAP (auto CPAP) and then you can adjust pressure settings.
Please do not change your therapy settings without first consulting your doctor :)
@RespShop thank u. Pulmonologist gave me the new settings so i am 👍 much appreciated.
Someone please tell me. What is the key to getting consistent air flow with this. Without the grabbing and pulsating. 6 different masks, changes from in air pressure set even lower by DR after titration study. I set the IPR low and still having problems. My apnea is on the moderate side as well
If you are wanting consistent airflow you would want to turn off any comfort pressures you may have turned on that will drop your pressure. Look into turning off your IPR, RED, and Ramp if you feel like you are just not getting enough air to start. Speak to your provider about how they can assist you with this.

It's really loud, when I do the fit thing, it's loud even tho it's 3 stars for fit. I tried the humidifier and it sounded like I was blowing bubbles in the water. Is this normal?
Sounds like you have water in your tube. Try contacting your provider to see if they can assist with trouble shooting.
Is there a way to restart the ramp feature in the middle of the night after i get up to use the bathroom?
You would want to stop and start your machine again. Thank you for watching, please do not forget to Like, Share and Subscribe!
I thought that is what the Ramp button on the top is for.
Can this unit be powered via a trailers 12v connection (cigarette lighter)?
The unit is DC compatible, however by 24 V, ≤2.5 A. Thank you for watching, if you enjoyed our video, please do not forget to Like & Subscribe for more sleep related content.
I have found the pressure with this to be inconsistent, sometimes it senses inhalation sometimes not. And while exhaling it randomly flutters. Even in CPAP mode the pressure goes up and down like BiPAP, and I'm not using IPR. Anyone else?
My suggestion would be to speak to your provider so they can walk through the settings with you to see if any of the comfort features are turned on mistakenly.
Agree. I dislike this machine.
same here i hate ibreeze machine.
The more research I do on this machine the more I see people describing the same problems I've had, even after trying a multitude of different settings. As you describe, the "CPAP mode" it has seems to be an outright lie as it will still alter the pressure of its own accord.
I have had this machine since Feb 22. I replaced my recalled Phillips.
This is a POS machine. It flutters and stutters when I am using it. My DME is incompetent and tests the machine and says it is putting out the correct pressure.
It connected to my wifi to relay data and that worked for about one month. Now it won't connect to WiFi and my DME will not warranty it, because wifi connection is a "luxury". For a $1200 machine, that is BS.
LinnCare is my DME, only because there is no one else in my local ares. They are the worse DME I have had in nearly 20 years of CPAP use.
Stay away from the Resvent machines they are CR#P for CPAP!!!!
I have had this machine for almost 2 weeks. Love the machine thus far,but I have a problem. When test fitted the nasal mask it comes up 3 stars. Once asleep and when I wake it registers only a 1 star on mask fit. I still fill good when I wake. Just the fact I can’t get 3 stars is annoying.
You might be opening your mouth during the night causing leaks. My suggestion is if you are waking up with a dryer mouth, maybe try a full face mask to see if you wake up with a 3 stars for the mask fitting.

Tighten the straps on the nasal mask. Get a strap to hold your mouth shut...problem solved.
This is referred to as a CPAP / APAP machine. Does this unit have BPAP functionality?
There is a separate machine for the BIPAP function. CPAP machines do not have the ability for Bi-level therapy. Here are some BiPAP machines we have in stock:

Where can I download the app for iPhone? Thx
With Resvent iBreeze, you can control your therapy using a computer or phone. Install the free iMatrix app, which makes it easy to read information from the device and quickly and easily share therapy data with your doctor. The iMatrix app is available for Windows, iOS, and Android.
Fantastic review. I just received mine today and setup was not easy.
How do you change the hose on this machine
You remove the hose and replace it every 6-9 months.
Can you use so clean on
We do not carry the So Clean product. You will need to contact so clean regarding this question.
Great info!

Can my 4month old use this cpap
Please speak to your Dr regarding this.
What wasn't mentioned was the water chamber needs to be replaced every 6 to 12 months. Sooner if frequently used.
Thank you for your feedback George. This is correct. Most times if you are using distilled water you can stretch the replacement till 12 months.
@@RespShop Why does it need replaced? The seal Thats the only part I can see that may fail. The rest is just hard plastic. I use distilled water in mine and frequently wash it out. But I don't see ever having to replace it.
How do I remove the water chamber to replace it
Looking forward at your machine the humidifier is on the right hand side, you will take your thumb on top and fingers on the bottom and pull. Use your other hand to support your machine down.
What is the R Care?
R-CARE allows patients to start from 95% of the therapeutic level accumulated in APAP mode to reduce the incidence of predormitium respiratory events. Please feel free to call us at 866 936 3754 if you have any questions and don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more CPAP content!

Thank you for your feedback!
I have this machine but it seriously seems like the pressure is too high, like it’s trying to over I flat my lungs.
I would speak to your supplier to see if they are able to assist with bringing the pressure lower.

Thank you for watching! Yes, sadly the iBreeze doesn't support heated tubing.
Mine keeps acting up. Error reading quite often.
Please speak to your sleep provider.
Is there a iPhone app yet?
Not yet!
Why is There 2 hidden camera on this machine
Sorry, not sure what you mean about the hidden cameras...As far as we know the iBreeze Auto CPAP does not have built in cameras.
I just got my I breeze and using it for the first time
That is great to hear!
How does it feel ??just bought mine like 10 min ago
A cpap is supposed to help you breathe while you sleep not make it harder.
Hello Mike,
the CPAP is positive continues air pressure. It helps open up your airway with therapeutic pressures your sleep specialist has chosen based off your sleep study. Breathing in is easy, however a human body is not used to breathing against this pressure. It can takes sometime to get used to but I find with the help of the epr and ramp, comfort is gained a lot quicker.
Feel free to give us a call at 1866 936 3754 and our medical staff will be happy to explain further.
This machine is not quiet at all.
Completely disagree. It’s very quiet
Hi there,
please note machine noise can be coming from a few different things. Mask fit, hose fit, and mask adapter. I would suggest checking to see if there is no leaks coming from your mask seal or the joints to your hose. This machine does run quiet so it might be a user error or see your provider for mechanical issues. Please feel free to call us at 866 936 3754 for more questions and don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more CPAP content.
the air sound is much louder then my dreamstation. but not only that it makes a whistling noise I can't figure out where its coming from. And also the filter latch where the air intake is rattles and clicks with every breath that I had to put a little piece of scotch tape on the corner to keep it quiet. I don't even think that single white cotton strip covers much. lol cheaply made machine but it does the job otherwise.
@@cooloutac Yeah, seems like the hurricane sound comes from the intake. Plus the pressure seems to jump up and down. Lanky Lefty had the same observations on his channel.
@@generaltso9402 My pressure doesn't even change. My dreamstation and Resmed usually increase to like pressure 9 or 10. This thing just stays at whatever the lowest pressure set is. be it 4 or 5. And like you said once in a while spikes up but immediately back down. I liked it at first but now i worry it doesn't work right. Maybe it has a different type of calibration i have no idea. Gonna try it for a month and see how I feel. So far i'm worried.
Need help
Please call us at 1-866-936-3754 if you need help with your machine.
It is very, very poorly designed! Location of hose connector is just plain stupid you have to turn the display/control away from you so the hose is in the correct position for patient to use. water chamber is small capacity, difficult to pull out of the machine for filling and If you have arthritis in your hands a painful, nearly impossible task. It is garbage.
Thank you for letting us know your experience. You can also contact Resvent to see if there is way to return your unit if you are unhappy with it (913) 908-7007.
This machine is garbage, I swapped it out twice. I had to get it since resmed was out but I literally threw it away and paid out of pocket for a resmed. Piece of junk.
Hello Alfonso,
we are sorry to hear you are unhappy with your Resvent Ibreeze. Feel free to call us if the unit was purchased through RespShop, we would be happy to help assist you.
Horrible machine. Waste of money and they try to keep selling you other face masks for $50 bucks. They do not warranty it. Just don't.
Hello Steven,
I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with your Resvent Ibreeze. I do not see you as customer of RespShop. I would suggest contacting your provider and seeing if they can work with you regarding why you dislike the unit. There are comfort features to the machine that may need to be turned on.
