I CAN say that you aren't going to get either TB or AIDS from anybody's cast off machine. If the machine came from a home infested with black mold or bed bugs, well, there may be a concern there, but that is why it's helpful to ask the person why they are selling the machine. If you bought from a smoker, stuff around the blower would need to be replaced so you want to make sure that the price you pay reflects the cost of that extra work (which, according to Palerider, isn't that much if you can turn a torx screwdriver). Here's a previous bedbug thread. If you travel, worth looking at. viewtopic/t113217/Bedbugs-and-CPAP.htmlxxyzx wrote: the only serious question is there any way that some bad air could have recirculated through the machine
and yes that is possible
if the patient had TB or AIDS something cant germs get through a filter that is meant to filter larger air particles
couldnt tobacco smoke and other very small contaminants with <2.5mm particles get through ?
could the air exhaled into the room get recirculated

All of it, it's called breathing. Jimgman41 wrote:We all breath in ambient air in trains, plains, and automobiles. But....How much of the air around us is directly forced into our body like CPAP machine is designed to do.

are you saying when they tell us to clean our machines that we should do that
but when we use somebody elses machine the problem disappears
all machines need to be cleaned !!!!!
the sleep lab even had room filters so the next user would not get recirculated air that could cause problems
