Ultra Fine CPAP Filters for DreamStation
This Product DOES NOT Require a Prescription
Product Description
Disposable ultrafine filters are used with all the DreamStation CPAP and BiPAP machines. The filter is housed in a blue frame that is permanently attached and cannot be separated. If they become separated, dispose of the filter, and replace it with a new one.
The disposable DreamStation filters are an essential component in maintaining your CPAP or BiPAP machine by removing dust, pollen, and tobacco smoke particles prior to entering the CPAP or BiPAP airflow.
The filters should not be cleaned; simply replace the filter when it becomes dirty or at least on a monthly basis. A dirty filter can affect the machine’s ability to work properly and can alter the life expectancy of your CPAP or BiPAP.
Special Features
These filters are made to only work with the DreamStation CPAP or BiPAP machines and should not be used with a different machine.
These DreamStation filters can be used in conjunction with the Reusable Pollen Filter. To attach the disposable filter to the reusable filter, place it underneath the reusable filter with the slotted side facing up and the longer edge facing the side of the reusable filter that faces the outside of the machine.
