How often should I replace my CPAP Supplies?
Below is Medicare and manufacture guidelines for scheduled replacement.
Every 2 weeks: Disposable filters & Nasal or pillow cushions
Every month: Full Face cushion
Every 3 months: Above items plus Tubing either heated or non-heated, Mask frame itself (without headgear)
Every 6 months: Above items plus Water chamber, Non-Disposable / Resuable filter, Headgear, Chin strap
The above replacement schedule is recommended to prevent a bacterial buildup on the equipment and to ensure proper seals that tend to degrade over time causing cushions to leak.
