What Supplies Are Needed For CPAP?
There are three main parts to a CPAP machine: a CPAP hose, a motor, and a CPAP mask. Keep in mind when purchasing supplies for a CPAP machine some of them are optional and are personal preferences. The most popular supplies required are:
Air filters
CPAP hose
Humidifier
CPAP mask
Chin straps
How Often Should I Replace CPAP Tubing?
Most of the CPAP supplies are made of plastic, rubber, and/or silicone. The moisture that builds up after nightly use will need to be cleaned daily. There are CPAP cleaners that can be purchased that can help keep the equipment sanitized and ready to use.
As mentioned, CPAP parts can get dirty, especially during nightly use. The tubing is the part where condensation occurs, and that is where the increase in contaminants can occur. The contaminants can enter your lungs, which can make you sick. The tubing can break down and get small holes which decreases the CPAP treatment efficacy.
When replacing CPAP parts, keep in mind the recommendations of the manufacturer. Replacement of CPAP tubing is recommended every three months, whether it is heated or standard. As you replace parts regularly, you will be able to keep your CPAP machine working properly.
