This may  prevent a dry mouth or a sore throat after sleeping. Make sure that your chin strap is properly adjusted to your head to get optimal results.   

Disconnect the hose from your mask and CPAP machine, then wash the inside and outside of the air tubing with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean running water.

Gurgling occurs when the air travelling through the hose of your CPAP device is warmer than the temperature of your room. The air cools and forms a build-up of condensation. You can prevent this by increasing the temperature of your heated hose. If you do not have a heated hose you could decrease the level on your humidifier but you will also decrease humidity for therapy. Optimizing the temperature of your room ay help somewhat.

CPAP filters can be changed as often as one time per month. The location of the filters will depend on the make and model of your CPAP machine. Simply swap out the old filters for a new one. If you have a timer prompt press the reset button to reset the filter timer.

The cushions on your CPAP mask should be replaced every 3 months. This also includes nasal cushions. Replacing your mask cushion is very easy, however; the placement(method) depends on which type of mask you have. We offer mask cushions for purchase online and in-store.
