CPAP Replacement parts in Greater Toronto Area

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machines (often known as CPAP machines) help to provide a sound and comfortable sleep to sleep apnea patients. When a person has obstructive sleep apnea, he or she stops breathing during sleep. This is caused by a blockage in the airway, at the back of the throat. The CPAP machine is used to keep the airway open by increasing the air pressure in the throat.

Inappropriate and poorly maintained CPAP machines can cause a lot of problems like dry nose, sore throat and nose bleeding. The mask may create an irritation on the face or in the eyes. It is therefore very important to ensure that CPAP machines and accessories are bought after thorough examination and are well kept and replaced periodically.

CPAP accessories require regular replacement as long term use may lead to wear and tear of certain parts of CPAP machines. Indeed, many CPAP users don’t realize that many supplies associated with sleep therapy are disposable. Masks, air tubes, filters and headgear have a limited life span and must be replaced from time to time. CPAP devices are portable but care should be taken to ensure that sufficient replacement parts are always available to help the machine function in a normal way at any time. CPAP masks get loose after continual use and ill fitting masks cause obvious problems in the therapy. The mask should therefore be replaced after every 3 months. CPAP headgear helps to connect the mask securely to the head and the frequency of replacement should be between 3 to 6 months.

Air tubes in the CPAP machines, that get visibly dirty or torn out must also be replaced once every month. Chin Strap Pads act as cushions and protect the face from inconvenience and pain caused due to prolonged use of CPAP masks. These should be comfortable enough and should be replaced periodically as per the condition of the strap. Also, it is necessary to change or clean the CPAP filters to keep them hygienic and flawless.

There are two types of filters – disposable filters which should be replaced on a regular basis and non-disposable filters, (also known as pollen filters) which can be washed and reused. There are separate CPAP mask accessories designed for each mask type and model.
