Changing Your PAP Supplies Regularly Keeps You Healthy!
Why It Matters:
Staying consistent with your therapy is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Replacing your supplies regularly helps:
Keep your therapy effective by preventing air leaks and maintaining proper pressure.
Reduce the risk of illness by avoiding bacteria buildup in masks, tubing, and filters.
Improve comfort, so you’re more likely to use your equipment every night
Regular replacement of your disposable CPAP supplies is critical to the success of your sleep therapy and to waking up refreshed every day. Daily cleaning is necessary, but after a short time, these disposable supplies lose their ability to be cleaned, resulting in bacteria buildup, stiffness of flexible silicone mask seals and clogged filters. It is so important that your insurance will most likely cover these items.*
Bacteria Buildup
When you have heat and moisture, you have Bacteria. The amount of bacteria increases with age, so the older the mask and tubing, the more bacteria in the mask, the tubing, and potentially, in You.
Cushions Lose Their Seal Over Time
Most masks are made of plastic and silicone, and the headgear is made of neoprene. All of these materials begin to break down with age and frequent use.
Dirty Filters Damage CPAP Machines
Filters need to be replaced on a regular schedule. If dust and other contaminants build-up, they cause the CPAP machine to over-heat, and in time, damage the motor.
