Troubleshooting & Fixes

Welcome to the Quick Troubleshooting Fixes & Support section of our Help Center. Here, you’ll find easy-to-follow guides, articles, and videos designed to help you solve common problems with your medical equipment and supplies. From CPAP machines and oxygen systems to mobility scooters and daily living aids, our goal is to empower you to troubleshoot at home—saving you time, money, and unnecessary stress. If the issue is more complex, you’ll also find guidance on when to reach out for professional service or replacement.

Signs You Can Fix It Yourself

Many common issues with medical equipment and supplies are simple to address at home. You may be able to troubleshoot on your own if:

  • The device isn’t powering on and you can check outlets, power cords, or batteries.
  • Your CPAP mask leaks air and may just need strap adjustment or a new cushion.
  • An oxygen concentrator filter looks dirty and can be cleaned or replaced.
  • Your mobility scooter isn’t moving due to a loose connection or low battery.
  • A minor alert or error code appears that is covered in your equipment manual or our Help Center guides.

Signs You May Need Professional Support

Some problems should not be handled at home, as they may affect safety or require specialized tools. Contact us for support if:

  • The equipment repeatedly shuts down, even after basic troubleshooting.
  • Alarms or error codes continue after checking tubing, filters, or connections.
  • You notice electrical issues such as burning smells, sparks, or overheating.
  • The device produces unusual noises, vibrations, or fails to deliver proper therapy.
  • Parts are broken, missing, or require replacement beyond simple accessories.
  • You’re unsure about safety or risk damaging the equipment by attempting repair.
