Bacterial filter

[StratCat48]

Having had and used a Dream Station I became familiar with the users and providers manuals. I do not recall any mention of a setting (AB) for an anti-bacterial filter nor could I find one with a quick browse/search of either manual. There is however a paragraph is one of the guides.....

"Note: If required, connect a bacteria filter to the device air outlet, and then connect the flexible tubing to the

outlet of the bacteria filter. When using the bacteria filter, the device performance may be affected. However, the
device will remain functional and deliver therapy."

Also....
"If the device is used by multiple persons (such as rental devices), a low-resistance, main flow bacteria filter should be installed inline
between the device and the circuit tubing to prevent contamination."

So if Dreamstation has an antibacterial filter setting (AB: on / off), why are they recommending not using such filters???

Dreamstation's have an AB filter setting. ResMed's do.

Dreamstation's have an AB filter setting. ResMed's do.

Opppps, that should have been, Dreamstation's don't have an AB filter setting. ResMed's do.

The in-line filters are very important.
