Re: Questions about filters for DreamStation Auto CPAP

My instructions for cleaning the filters said to dab them with a dry paper towel after rinsing. I did that and it worked fine. I also rinsed out the micro filter... Although I've only used my machine for 2 weeks so it wasn't very dirty yet. But it definitely looked cleaner after rinsing. When washi...

Re: Questions about filters for DreamStation Auto CPAP

The Medicare replacement schedule and HHS and sleepapnea.org all suggest replacing the non-disposable filters twice a month. Otherwise, your warranty will be voided. This sounds like something a DME said in order to sell you more filters. Your users manual has directions for filter maintenance on p...

Re: Questions about filters for DreamStation Auto CPAP

When I wash my washable filter (It's black foam) after the very good rinse, I put it in a cotton towel and squeeze it dry as good as I can get it more than once. Then let it air dry, a fan will speed drying up if needed. Jim Good advice! A fan is a good idea, but not for the winter. I will try a pa...

Questions about filters for DreamStation Auto CPAP

I have four questions regarding my DreamStation Auto CPAP: 1. Is it possible/advisable to clean the ultra-fine pollen disposable filter instead of buying a new one twice a month? 2.
