Question regarding age of supplies

Post by Lyrek » Mon Sep 04, 2023 3:59 pm

Hello. I found some of my CPAP supplies which I had set aside and not used the older first. Can you advise me what is a safe age to still use nasal pillows and disposable filters? Thank you.

Still factory sealed and protected from light and heat?
My guess is at least a year.

years, decades. as long as they'll last in the landfill when thrown away.

they don't go bad with age.
