Is there a time frame for when your machine should be checked that it is putting out correct pressure? Should your DME company do this?

i understand your local support group may do this for you
it should be checked annually unless there is good reason to suspect something is wrong
you can make your own manometer or buy one to check pressure
Is it something easy to do yourself? There is NO local support group here. Thanks~ Have had it just over a year and thought it should be checked out even though I have no reason to think it is not working correctly.
build your own manometer
Google it to see how it is done or ask you suppler to do the checks
this is but one aspect as it should be sterilizer at the same time and this is outside my scope unless you purchased an ozone bag
pat test
My most recent DME said my ASV should be checked yearly. This is the first I've heard that in four years. I've been through using a CPAP, AUTO 25 (does CPAP, Bilevel and AUTO), a Bilevel that went up to a pressure of 30, back to the AUTO 25 and now for a month, an ASV.
