A Clean CPAP Machine for better health, Senior Lifestyle Advantage Magazine, SLA, Health
Sleep Apnea and Stroke Risk
When using a CPAP for eight hours or more per nights, room air goes into the machine, filters, through the tube, mask and nose.  Microorganisms thrive in moist and matter.  Don't worry, there is a simple process to keep the mask clean and yourself healthy.  
1. Rinse the equipment with water.  This can be done by running water over the equipment for 1 minute.  2.  Make sure the equipment is properly air dried.  All standing water from inside the tube should be allowed to drip away or out of the tube.  CPAP tubes breakdown with use.  They are not designed to last forever.  Some sleep professionals recommend replacing the tubes sooner than later 2-3 times per year.  CPAP filters should be replaced monthly.  CPAP cleaner products will help keep the equipment clean, with minimal effort through maximum sanitizing performance.  Read the instruction manuals before using products.  Contact your local Home Medical Equipment Company for product lists and guidelines.
