Universal In-Line Disposable Bacteria Filters - 5 Pack

A universal CPAP or Bi-Level machine bacteria filter has been shown to greatly improve the symptoms of CPAP users suffering from allergies. The bacteria filter cleans the air as it is expelled from a CPAP or Bilevel (BiPAP) machine. The bacteria filter should also be used in conjunction with the CPAP machine's built-in foam or pollen filter system. This 5 pack of universal bacteria filters ensures you receive clean air every night while maintaining healthy sleep therapy!

When Using a Heated Humidifier

If your universal CPAP bacteria filter becomes dirty or wet, your CPAP or BiPAP machine performance may be negatively affected. Excessive use of heated humidity reduces the life span of the filter and it should be replaced on a monthly basis or as needed. Heated humidifiers can cause moisture and condensation to collect in the filter chamber, thus clogging the filter and negatively affecting your therapy. If your filter becomes wet, replace with a new one and dispose of the one that was wet.

Using Bacteria Filters With Auto Adjusting CPAP Machines

Universal bacteria filters may impact on the ability of Auto Adjusting CPAP machines (Auto CPAP) to accurately respond to therapy needs. If your average therapy pressure is below 7cm H2O, a bacteria filter should NOT be used.


Special Features

Use with Heated CPAP Hose and Tubing Recommendations

CPAP and BiLevel (BiPAP) machines that utilize a heated CPAP hose specific to that machine and require a special connection (as opposed to universal CPAP tubing) should NOT be used with a universal in-line bacteria filter. The in-line bacteria filter cannot be placed between the machine and the CPAP hose/tubing connection. The universal in-line bacteria filter may be used between the CPAP hose and the mask if desired however it will add weight and bulk at that connection.

How Often Should I Replace My Filters?

To make sure that the air quality you breathe during the
night is high and safe, you need to replace or clean the CPAP filters
periodically. If you have pets, have someone in your home who smokes, or have a
wood-burning stove, you will need to replace the filters more regularly. Disposable
CPAP filters should be replaced every 1-3 months. You cannot reuse them. You
will want to change the disposable in-line bacteria filters every 30 days.

Reusable filters should be replaced every 12-24 months depending
on routine maintenance.

How Do I Clean My Machine Filter?

Unless your machine uses a reusable filter, it is recommended
to dispose of the CPAP filter and not attempt to clean and reuse. Disposable filters
are typically made of a thin white material and should be disposed/replaced
when noticeable build up can be seen or it has been 3 months. Reusable filters
are made of foam-like material and can be cleaned by hand and left to air dry.

I Want to Submit a Self-Claim to My Insurance. Can I Do
This?

In most cases you can submit a claim form for an out-of-net
network provider. You may receive reimbursement back from your provider
depending on your coverage and co-pay. The HCPC code for disposable CPAP
filters is A7038. The HCPC code for reusable CPAP filters is A7039.

Do I Need a Prescription for This Product?

No, machine and mask parts do not require a prescription for
purchase. Often you can prolong the life of your CPAP machine by replacing your
CPAP filter on a frequent basis!
