CPAP Parts and Supplies
CPAP machine parts connect to your CPAP machine to provide you with CPAP treatment. Because each sleep apnea machine is unique, you must consult your equipment manual or a supply professional before purchasing CPAP equipment. Some parts are incompatible with certain machines. Once you’ve purchased your CPAP supplies, keep in mind that these CPAP machine parts are meant to be replaced regularly because they come into contact with your body or are exposed to a lot of moisture and/or contaminants.
To pressurize the space to the pressure you choose, the engine takes air from the room. Some machines contain a water tank to keep the air wet and at room temperature. The majority of machine motors run quietly and rarely disturb sleep.
The following is a list and explanation of the CPAP supplies and other CPAP machine parts used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
1. Air Purifier
The CPAP filter is essential for purifying the air that enters your nose from outside the machine. There are various kinds of air filters. Some are reusable, while others are not. The particles that they filter range in size. Based on the CPAP machine you have and the demands of your lifestyle, such as whether you have pets in the house, which may contribute to the dust and allergens in the air, you can choose your CPAP filter.
2. Hose for CPAP
The tubing, also known as the CPAP hose, connects the CPAP machine to the mask. CPAP hoses are available in a variety of lengths to accommodate your sleeping style or bedroom setup.
3. Humidifier
The CPAP machine’s humidifier, which is an optional component, adds moisture to the air that is given through the mask. While using their devices, CPAP users frequently complain of having dry mouths and noses. The CPAP humidifier helps to solve this issue, especially in places that are cold, dry, and low in humidity. The temperature of the water tank can be raised to change the settings on many humidifiers.
