To be able to deliver consistent, high quality treatment, your patient’s device needs to be well maintained. A blocked air filter may affect the pressure delivered to your patient. Each month, we recommend disconnecting the sleep therapy device from the power supply and wiping the outside with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid wetting the electrical areas.
It’s also important to regularly examine the air filter for holes or dust build-up. Refer to the device user guide for specific recommendations on how often your patient should maintain the device.
Disconnect the air tubing and hang it in a clean, dry place until next use.
Wash the disassembled tub lid, plate and base in warm water using a mild detergent.
Rinse thoroughly in clean water and allow them to dry away from direct sunlight.
Note: The disassembled tub lid, plate and base may also be washed in a dishwasher on the delicate or glassware cycle (top shelf only).
Wipe the exterior of the therapy device and humidifier with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Peel the flip lid seal from the flip lid and wash it in warm water using a mild detergent.
Check the air filter for holes and blockage by dirt or dust. Replace the air filter if necessary.
Inspect the water tub for wear and deterioration and replace any component that is cracked, cloudy or pitted.
Patients should not use any of the following to clean their humidifiers as these solutions may cause damage and reduce the life of the product:
Proper maintenance of components is key to your patient’s sleep apnea treatment journey. Here are our guidelines for replacing device filters and tubing for optimal therapy.
We recommend that you replace your patient’s tubing regularly for maximum comfort. Typically, this replacement should occur after 6 to 12 months of use.
If the environment is particularly humid or dusty, then the disposable filter won’t last for long. We recommend that your patient visually inspects the filter every month to determine whether the filter needs to be replaced. The recommended replacement is every 2 months or before, depending on the filter’s state.
