BPAs in CPAP/ASV Blastics

Post by PVCsNot4Me » Tue Jun 12, 2018 12:25 pm

I've identified that there the water chambers, hoses and masks are not BPA free.

Is anyone familiar with a brand/manufacturer that is?

I have over 30,000 pvc waves per day and central sleep apnea resulting in breathing stops once per 30 seconds... so, an ASV machine is a must. I'd just rather not risk exposure BPA.

Thanks!

If you're a developing 3 yr old and keep your juice in a sippy cup all day, you MIGHT have something to worry about. As things stand, you don't - and it's come up lots before this.

It is likely that you inhale more harmful stuff in your car--or on public transit, powered by FOSSIL FUELS
Possibly even more in your HOME, and all the assorted fibers, glues, and additives present there.
Scared yet?
You should be.
not
