TIP #1: Make sure your CPAP supplies are up-to-date.

Ensuring the timely replacement of CPAP supplies is vital to uphold the machine’s efficacy and the user’s comfort, as these components naturally degrade over time. Keep your CPAP in top shape for the best results managing anxiety.

The recommended replacement schedule is as follows:

  • Every 5 years: CPAP/BiPAP machines
  • Every 6 months: Headgear, water chambers, and non-disposable filters
  • 3 months or less: Tubing, masks without headgear, cushions, nasal pillows, and disposable filters
