CPAP Preventative Maintenance
Hello! Just got my first CPAP (ResMed device) and I am very excited. I know all the basic maintenance and cleaning procedures, but I was curious what everyone does beyond that. An example would be: cycling multiple nose pieces every night over a certain period instead if wearing the same one until it’s time to use a new one. The ‘standby’ piece when cycling would then be soaking in DI water or another cleaning solution while the ‘active’ one is being used.

Welcome to the forum drewdavis
I keep few of my old pieces of kit (cushion/strap/clips,elbows) as backups, but I cycle through a cushion every 5 months or so-the silicone loses some of it's elasticity to seal well, and headgear every 8 months or so.

RE: CPAP Preventative Maintenance
I just use the same cushion until it's service life expires. I have plenty of supplies on hand. I wash the cushion about every 4th or 5th night. I also use some anti-bacterial wipes as needed in between washings.
Cycling thru numerous cushions seems like more work than is necessary. |
