Getting my sleep study next week, need to get ready for cpap
Good Luck.
Good video. Unfortunately, the average person cannot afford to replace these parts as often as it is recommended.
We do have supply bundles that help. Check out the link below.

I was watching this for just the maintenance part, but I went through a different provider. They still said clean at least weakly, but said 3 months everytime this guy said 1 month. Other maintenance videos seem to be like that too. This video is equal parts maintenance and pushing sales.
@@SAHD_Guy cost to much to replace parts
Should I clean the inside of the machine as well, or is it not necessary? If so, how would I go about cleaning it without the use of those ozone cleaners? Thanks.
No need to clean the inside of your machine. Just the inside of the water chamber. Make sure to keep up with the filters on your CPAP machine and you will be good to go.
I clean the mask every night and the tubing every week and the water reservoir I clean every day with a sanitary wipe. About a week or so ago, even though I don't put too much water in the chamber, water comes through the tubing and into the mask. What should I do?
Do you currently use a heated hose on your CPAP. That can make all the difference in the world.
@@CPAPmyway I don't know what a heated hose is. I'll look on your website. Thanks.
@@jewgirl952 Hey Donna. I completely understand. Here is a link to the different tubes.

@@CPAPmyway Thanks. I'll bookmark it for now.
Make sure you do not fill the reservoir past the indicated fill line.
My Dreamstation has 2 settings for CPAP OR BIPAP, I'm on the Bipap setting, but can you explain the difference between the 2? Thanks.
it just so happens that we have a really good blog on that. Here is a link to everything you need to know about BiPAP vs CPAP.

I have a Dreamstation CPAP and don't know how to get replacement parts for it, so I've stopped using it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello I have a question. In regards to the ResMed airsense 10 the tubing directly connected to the machine can it be clean even though it has the prongs on it do I clean it with the lightweight soap and just allow it to dry and the prongs aren't affected?
Yes it can be cleaned normally with light soap and water. I do recommend keeping those plugs out of the water though.
Thank you! This was my question too! Searched far and wide on the internet for this answer. Lol
@@WorkinForAGoal Glad that we could help.
My machine Resmed Airsense 10used to give good air pressure earlier and now after 6 years it's air pressure is not the same, however it is still working. Can a company service help to rectify this?
Sounds like it needs to be looked at. We have a CPAP troubleshooting/repair blog that should help you. Link below:

Hello, I have a Dreamstation CPAP. When I remove my mask upon awakening in the morning, my machine used to go off by itself after maybe 60 seconds. Now when I remove my mask in the morning the machine keeps running until I manually push the power bar. I liked that "auto shut off." How do I get it back onto that auto shut off mode? Thank you.
That feature can be adjusted in the Clinical Menu. You access the clinical menu by pressing the ramp button and front knob together for 5-10 seconds. Be sure not to adjust any therapy settings. You will find the 'auto off" feature in there to turn on. Not sure how it would have been disabled.
@@CPAPmyway What is the ramp knob? Is that the bar with an arrow on it?
@@creativemair The Ramp Button has an arrow on it. The Knob is the round dial on the front. Both would have to be pressed and held
@@CPAPmyway i'll try that. Thanks.
@@creativemair You are welcome.
I am I Nairobi Kenya, how can I get filter for Resmed Airsense10
I am honestly not sure. Maybe the Manufacturer website has references?
What does it mean if it says check power and won't work ?
Usually means your power supply has gone bad. Pretty easy fix in most cases. Link below to power supplies.

@@CPAPmyway The plug may need to be re-seated. My Resmed Airsense 10 does that nad it was the plug loosened from moving the unit around.
Hi, dear Mr.the CPAPmaway, could you tell me how to contact you? we want to cooperate with you, look forward to your reply, thank you.
how do i replace the tubing with the chip s10?

AirSense Slim tubing:

@@CPAPmyway how do i remove the chip part of the tubing and replace with a new tube?
@@bethporta8636 It should just unplug with the two little release buttons on wither side. Then you can just plug the new one back in.
Thanks for the post! Are ozone or UV cleaners safe to use? I’ve read they’re not FDA approved.
You definitely do not want to use an "integrated ozone cleaner" based on most of the manufacturers recommendations. We have a ton of people that use something like the Sleep8 or Liviliti and love them. Links to both below.

I must say, some of the comments here make me quite sad. The providers used obviously do not care for their clients at all. Some of the questions asked should have been covered when the machine was purchased and set-up. Basic cleaning of a very expensive (and life saving apparatus) should have been explained before the machines were taken home. Goodness me.
Thanks for the input.
Umm time go years
You just have to take care of rhem
Maintenance of you CPAP is definitely a must.
What Screwdriver did you use
What can I do about humming sound my machine makes while I breathe into it?
Hopefully that is not the sound of the blower going bad. I would check filters to make sure that they are clean, and then just make 100% sure that the mask seal is perfect without leaks. We recommend at least changing out the seal on the mask to be sure that it isn't the mask.
If you still hear humming sound after doing some advice from CPAPmyway, maybe it’s about time (or factory defect) , to change your water reservoir. It is not the container that giving up but the white rubber seal underneath the cover. Hopefully this will solve your issue. “If there’s a problem, there’s a solution”. Just be patient.
You do know why its a Clinical Menu right? Very irresponsible, it may be all over the internet but that does not mean you contribute to this dangerous practice. Some of information on this video is also not what is recommended by the authorities. The recommendation is to wash the mask, hose and humidifier reservoir DAILY. By saying "at least once a week" what do you think the patient's default will be? Very irresponsible. The breathing circuit system (mask, hose, reservoir) is a moist environment from the moisture in your breath (your mouth is full of bacteria) and the humidifier. Bacteria loves a moist environment to grow. Soap and water in a plastic container and 6 minutes is all you need. (Do not waste money on SoClean and similar devices you still have to wash the parts first and it uses ozone which damages the machine and environment and you). Do not wash these items in your bathroom basin or kitchen sink it is simply NOT sanitary. Do not hang the items to dry in the bathroom, for the same reason. Remember you are sleeping with the device on your face for over 6 hours (hopefully) and giving it direct access to your respiratory system. Daily washing is for your benefit it is not meant to be a punishment. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks for the feedback.
In other words these CPAP machines are money pits?😢
CPAP Machines do require maintenance, but the costs aren't too bad.
Absolutely nothing about cleaning the machine.
The CPAP itself shouldn't need anything other than a wipe now and then with a wet cloth. No need to clean the internal parts of the CPAP.
Right. I forgot that the air going through the machine is different from the air going through thr tubing and mask.
Is the hose supposed to be cleaned as well? If so how, how often and how often should it be changed out?
The hose should be cleaned as well. At least once per week. Recommended to be changed every 3 months.
