As with any other products, but especially medical supplies, it's absolutely imperative that you take care of the item so that it can function properly. Also, by taking care of your CPAP machines and CPAP masks you are ensuring that the product will last longer! Usually when you buy a product, it will contain a manual which will include detailed instructions or steps to take in order to maintain your product. However, most manufacturers will suggest that you perform daily and weekly maintenance on your unit.
After all, this device is used to help you breath, the last thing you need is for it to malfunction! It's also important that you make sure that all the hoses be connected as well. Worn hoses should be replaced immediately considering these can send shock through the machine. The filters on the CPAP must be changed and cleaned as well. A lot of machines these days are admitting filters such as HEPA which can be purchased through a respiratory supplies site.
A HEPA filter is noted as being one of the cleanest ways and easiest way to clean the air - but can also be used with sleep apnea, allergies and asthmatic symptoms as well. Some of these CPAP units may also contain extras such as humidifiers which also need to be cleaned and kept free of mold and allergens. Some modifications may be needed by someone such as yourself. These modifications include fixing the straps on your device, use of bright tape or a "book light" for the device when you need to press certain buttons in the dark so no mistakes will happen or you will push anything you don't mean to! Please do not any under circumstance submerge your device!
