Re: CPAP rhinitis - cure! I hope...

... people. I'm not advocating for dirty equipment, just that the industry has created a lot of unnecessary angst about it. It seems likely that ozone cleaning systems have probably harmed more people than dirty machines. I inspect my gear to make sure. I clean the tub, mask and hose occasionally, ...

Re: Started using new mask and still getting leaks

... not so good at handling high pressure. I got farty leaks at 15cmH2O. The weak spot (for me) seems to be between upper lip and nostrils, despite cleaning cushion and face thoroughly. I resolved this by applying silicone tape strips to my face where it leaks. That provided a great seal and for ...

ResMed Machine vs Breas travel CPAP

... (HME) for the Breas. When I first tested it, my nose was burning from not enough moisture. I just wish I could take the HME apart for easier cleaning of the sponge inside after a trip.

Re: New OSA patient

... my CPAP equipment ? I have a Papablic sanitizer. You can, but I don't see the need for it. I've been using a CPAP for nearly 15 years. The only cleaning I have ever done is wiping down the mask with an alcohol wipe each morning and occasionally dusting the outside of the machine.

Re: How to dry the hose

On cleaning day, my hose is of course wet inside, I hang it up for a few hours and then just hook it up at bedtime to my machine and use it that way. In ...
