Air Filter Replacement Schedule
Re: Air Filter Replacement Schedule
The CPAP is filtering your room air. If the filter is getting dirty at 2-4 weeks, it means that the air you and your family are breathing 24/7 is dirty. I would be more concerned with that.

Re: Air Filter Replacement Schedule
Every 21 days, whether it needs it or not.
When Kansas is burning the prairie (in a month or three) we get smoke.
Some days anybody can smell it--the rest of the time, folks with
respiratory issues suffer alone.
Just reminding folks that Kansas hates asthmatics in Nebraska.

I don't understand why you're such an arse to everybody on here.palerider wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 2:13 pmAnd, just where do you think that ridiculous 'schedule' came from?southerndoc wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 10:20 amYes, the clinical manual says one thing, but ResMed's CPAP replacement schedule guide says another: https://media.resmed.com/sites/3/201911 ... -sheet.pdf (every 14 days)
So I guess in the end I shouldn't worry about it and should continue my current replacement schedule.
FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS THE DMEs.
When in doubt, believe the clinician manual, not the stuff that's out there for the punters...
Do you get your medical advice off WebMD? I hope not.
I asked what others were doing and quoted you the article that is posted by ResMed, not from WebMD.

I'd have *hoped* that a clinician would know where to get the more accurate info, like, oh, the clinician manual.
So much for hoping.

Re: Air Filter Replacement Schedule
My specialty is emergency medicine -- not sleep medicine. I did not come here to ask for recommendations on what to do, I came to see what the consensus was that people were doing. The two are different.palerider wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 11:30 pmI'm certainly not an arse to "everybody" on here, just the ones that say dumb things.southerndoc wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 11:00 pmI don't understand why you're such an arse to everybody on here.

Re: Air Filter Replacement Schedule
@OP - In the interest of posting a diversity of views, I will offer this.
Filters are very cheap. Given that you can't see the super small particles, and assuming that even very small particles may affect your therapy, I replace once a month. If you buy them in bulk as previously mentioned, they will not send you to the poor house.

Filters do a better job of filtering when they are used.
Many posters in this thread seem to believe that filters perform better when new, they don't.
