You don't need to. Your CPAP and everything in your environment has had exposure to the virus, but you're now past it and have antibodies capable of fighting off what COVID remnants remain.

If it makes you more comfortable, wash your hose, mask, change your filter, and wipe down external surfaces with a Lysol wipe.

You shouldn't. Wash your mask in soap and water.
