I cant use it; can't sleep; this is a philips respironics device from 2009 and subject to the recall.I was not using it for many years, but started using it again in (b)(6) because i had an updated sleep study.(i am awaiting a luna bipap, still, after six months).But in early (b)(6), black particles came into the mask and on to my bed.I tried to air it out, but to no avail.The doctor who prescribed this originally will not provide me the name of the dealer to take the unit to, and philips has not asked for it back to repair it.(b)(4), distributor of the luna machine, just keeps sending me emails and voice mails that due to the recall, they are backordered.They told me that philips won't replace my machine for six months to a year.So, i am not sleeping well at all.I really think fda botched this recall by not allowing patients to take this to a service center to be fixed.I think more people will die or get injuries from not being able to use their cpaps/bipaps than from these particles.I would appreciate a phone call to discuss with one of your people (b)(6).Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
