Checklist and Considerations to Managing CPAP Supplies

To get the best results from CPAP therapy, regular maintenance of your CPAP supplies is highly recommended.

Continuously refer to your User Manual throughout therapy. The manufacturer’s instructions for maintaining your CPAP supplies will help you maximize the performance and longevity of your CPAP parts.

Cleaning your CPAP supplies regularly eliminates bacteria and prevents germs and other buildup from growing over time. Be sure to clean your CPAP parts as recommended to ensure you are receiving optimal performance.

While it is not required to have a CPAP prescription for many CPAP supplies, your healthcare provider may be able to help you choose CPAP supplies that are most suitable for you.

Although it is not likely you will need your CPAP prescription, it could be useful to have it on hand in case of any emergencies.

Not all CPAP products are compatible with each other. Make sure that whatever CPAP supplies you are purchasing are compatible with your CPAP machine. Additionally, when it becomes time to replace your parts, make sure you are replacing them with the same items or parts that are made for your specific machine and mask.

CPAP supplies are made with different kinds of materials, so it’s important to know what you are purchasing, the reputation of the manufacturer and the company selling the items, and customer reviews.

CPAP supplies each offer warranties that can vary depending on the manufacturer and the seller. It is recommended to consider both the length of the warranty as well as the specifics of what is covered.
