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
... white vinegar, once a week. A freshly cleaned hose is going to take forever to dry if it's just hanging there in the closet with no airflow. 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 ...
