Filters prevent dust, allergens, and airborne particles from entering your device and airways.

• Disposable Filters: Check monthly, and replace every 3 months at minimum sooner if discolored or dirty

Tip: Dirty filters strain the motor and reduce air quality — don’t overlook them.

Tubing delivers pressurized air from the machine to your mask.

• Clean weekly with warm, soapy water
• Hang to air dry
• Replace every 3-6 months (or sooner if you see tears, cloudiness, or smell mildew)

Tip: Never use tubing that has visible spotting or odor — bacteria and mold can grow quickly.

CPAP mask sealers (gel or cream) help prevent leaks and skin irritation.

• Apply a thin layer around the mask contact area on your face
• Always wash your face and clean your mask before use
• Replace tubes or containers according to the manufacturer’s expiry

Tip: A good seal improves comfort and pressure delivery — without over-tightening the headgear.

Automated CPAP sanitizers (like ozone or UV-based systems) can simplify cleaning routines.

• Use as directed, typically after daily use
• Continue regular manual cleaning — sanitizers are a supplement, not a replacement
• Clean system parts (like reservoirs or hoses) according to manufacturer instructions

Caution: Not all cleaning systems are compatible with every mask or hose — consult The Sleep Institute before use.
