Proper Care And Maintenance Of CPAP

Cpap machine Proper Care and Maintenance- Be sure to properly care for the device you decide to go with. This includes changing the machine filter every 1-3 months or once you have noticed build-up (the same you would see on your furnace filter). Place your unit in an area that is free of clutter and will allow sufficient airflow all around your unit. If you travel with your device be sure to take it as a carry on so that it is not damaged in baggage claim. Use a surge protector, not a power strip, where you plug it into. Take proper measures to see that it is secured from falling or from water damage from humidifiers (the CPAP machine bed holder is a great option for this).

Sleep apnea therapy devices have components and accessories that should always be replaced on a schedule basis to get the most out of your therapy as well as prolonging the life of your unit. Change your filter, tubing, water chamber, and mask as recommended or once you have noticed wear and tear.
