Elbow Connect to F20, F30

How long should I replace Elbow Connect to F20, F30? 3 or 6 months

[Okie bipap]

As long as it is not leaking, never replace it. The only reason I changed ours was to go to the new, silent model. Both of the elbows I replaced were over a year old and worked just fine.

When/if it breaks.

You shouldn't replace *ANYTHING* on any arbitrary schedule. Replace things when they don't function properly anymore, replace filters when they're dirty, etc.

I don't believe that the elbow is listed as a replacement part. You may need the entire mask unless you can find something on e-bay.

if your on medicare you can get a mask without headgear and cushion after 3 months and it includes the elbow .

You can, but there's no need to replace it, unless it becomes faulty.

You can get the new replacement elbow on ebay for around $28.

Absolutely,
You should have a spare of everything, if at all possible, because when something breaks, it'll usually be on a Friday night, before a long holiday.
