1. Distinguish whether the machine is new or old. First, check the working hours of the ventilator. The working hours of the ventilator cannot be changed. Unlike a computer phone, it can be refreshed. The manufacturer will not allow the running time of the ventilator to be rewritten during the development and production. Of course, each brand is different. The working hours of Philips ResMed ventilator and ResMed ventilator must be 0. Second, look at the appearance. Although the time cannot be changed, it does not mean that the machine is new at 0 hours, because the machine may be broken, and then the main version and turbine are replaced with new ones when repairing. But fortunately, foreign manufacturers are very rigorous, and they will never provide anyone with a brand new enclosure. Taking the Respirator as an example, you can look at the host. It must be the bottom of the host. Below the barcode on the plastic label, there is the production date of the machine. The label is integrally plastic sealed on the machine. It must not be separated or pasted. Unplasticized.
