The meticulous maintenance of your CPAP equipment, comprising the CPAP mask, tubes, and filters, is paramount for optimizing the efficacy of your CPAP therapy. Consistent utilization of appropriate cleaning solutions can ensure the continued functionality of your CPAP equipment and uphold the quality of your treatment. In order to assist you in tracking the replacement timelines for your CPAP mask and supplies, we present a comprehensive replacement schedule as a valuable tool to aid in this endeavor.
Recommended replacement every 6 – 12 months
Air leakage, loose headgear, general discomfort, frayed fabric, visible rips or tears in your cushion, loss of cushion shape.
CPAP Masks should be washed daily with warm water and gentle soap or baby shampoo.
Recommended replacement every 3 – 6 months
Air leakage, visible rips or tears at your cushion, loss of cushion shape.
Wipe your CPAP mask cushion after each use with mask wipes, as the oils from your skin can accelerate the degradation of the cushion material.
Recommended replacement every 6 – 9 months
Loose headgear, general discomfort or over-tightening, frayed fabric, visible rips or tears.
CPAP mask headgear will stretch out over time. Adjust your headgear so it’s snug but not too tight. Over-tightening is uncomfortable, but it can also cause it to wear out faster. Wash with gentle soap infrequently.
Recommended replacement every 6 – 12 months
Air leakage, loose hose connections, visible rips or tears, mineral build-up, unfamiliar odours, and signs of mould growth.
CPAP hose can be loose on the hole edges, and some rips can produce air leaks. Wash with gentle soap infrequently.
Recommended replacement every 3 – 6 months
Visible dust or dirt, low airflow, unfamiliar odours.
Typically CPAP filter should last for a minimum of 90 up to 180 days. Once your filter has reached its days of use, replace it. CPAP filters are not reusable or washable.
Recommended replacement every 6 – 12 months
The heavy mineral build-up, discolouration of plastic, unfamiliar odours, and signs of mould growth.
