Properly maintaining your Cpap Or Bipap equipment can make a huge difference in how effective your CPAP Or Bilevel therapy is. Following a basic cleaning regiment consistently can help keep your CPAP Mask and CPAP machine in good working order. Eventually, though, parts degrade and will need replacing. Use our handy replacement schedule to help keep track of when to replace your CPAP mask, machine, and supplies!

This has been learned while interacting with thousands of patients, that 70- 80% of the problems, issues culminate due to mismanagement of interface ( mask ) and its perishable accessories!

As the therapy devices and their usage are very long terms, we need to be  disciplined and use with a schedule  :

Mask 6 to 12 Months
• The material of the mask loses elasticity over time, causing air to leak.
• Masks should be washed daily with warm water and gentle soap or baby shampoo. Let the mask air dry.

Cushion 3 to 12 Months
• Cushions break down and lose seal over time.
• Frequent cleanings with proper disinfectants like Control III will increase the life of your cushion.

Headgear 6 to 9 Months
• Over time headgear stretches out requiring over tightening to keep your mask in place.
• The more you wash headgear the more quickly the elastic wears out.

Tubing 12 Months
• Detach your hose by pulling on the rubber end, not the actual tubing to prevent wear to the cusp.
• Mineral deposits build up over time and compromise air quality and delivery.

Humidifier Chamber 6 to 12 Months
• Mineral deposit built up in your humidifier can be unsanitary and irritating to your sinuses.
• Using distilled water and emptying your chamber each morning will increase the life of your chamber.

Reusable Filters 6 Months
• Reusable filters are meant to be rinsed and reused, but not for longer than six months.
• New filters mean cleaner, higher quality air intake.

Disposable filter 1 Month
• Fine filters can’t be washed, only replaced.
• Since these filters catch fine particles, they must be changed frequently.
