Repair sleep apnea machine

[Jack Hammer]

I am holidaying in Hua Hin. My sleep apnea machine stopped functioning. Does anyone know where I may be able to get an electronics person to investigate the problem with my machine?

thank you

Hmm - you don't mention make or model.

 

I have a Resmed Airsense 10 and the electronics part (the on-off switch) packed up while I was living in Singapore. There is a Resmed dealer there so I took it to them. They said they would have to replace the whole electronic kit-n-kaboodle which would would be more expensive than a new unit.

 

He then showed me what the health-care providers of the device never did - it is possble to switch the thing on and off automatically by a setting. Basically when I put the mask on it starts and after taking the mask off after a few seconds it stops. All I want it to do. 

 

Maybe that would fix your problem. Good luck.

Bangkok is probably your best bet. They have lots of ResMed dealers there. I bought one in Ramintra area a few weeks ago.

Well. Did you find a dealer in Hua Hin? I'm interested as Hua Hin is my home in Thailand. Thanks. Hope it worked out for you.

Does one need a prescription to purchase a CPAP in Thailand?  I was wondering what I'd do if mine quit.

Tried to check the local hospitals ? At worst, they may know where to direct the OP ? Not to underestimate also the info on FB and similar.
