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.
