How to Clean a CPAP Machine

• Mild soap, preferably unscented and without moisturizing ingredients.
• White vinegar (if you use a humidifier tank)
• Warm, drinking-quality water.
• A sink, tub, or bucket large enough to hold your hose or tubing.
• A clean, non-abrasive towel.

Daily cleaning of the mask cushion - the part that touches your face - is a vital part of maintaining the integrity of the seal for as long as possible. First, you should wash the cushion in warm, soapy water using a mild dishwashing detergent and allow to air dry.

Over the last several years, a number of CPAP cleaning devices that claim to efficiently and effectively sanitize CPAP components have come onto the market. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to authorize any of these products. In fact, the FDA cautions against using them.

Further research is needed to determine if these devices have any beneficial role in routine CPAP cleaning. However, the risk of infection is so tiny, and the evidence for the benefit is so weak that these devices are not currently recommended. Instead, soap and water do the trick.

Non-disposable CPAP filters, also known as internal filters, need to be washed in warm soapy water at least twice a month to ensure optimal performance. These filters should be replaced with new ones every three months, or more often if the foam starts to deteriorate.

CPAP equipment manufacturers recommend regular cleanings. They advise washing out the mask, tubing and CPAP humidifier chamber at least once a week. Rinsing the mask and hose daily is also a good practice that helps keep them clean in the interim. Experts also recommend washing the parts out daily if you are sick.

The Clean Zone is very safe and convenient, the optimized design enables the faster generation of activated oxygen during start-up and faster dissipation after clean.

The agency cautions that insufficient length or strength of light exposure could pose a health risk for users who may then continue to use improperly sanitized equipment. Neither ozone nor UV CPAP cleaners have been approved by the FDA as safe or effective.

CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is a machine that uses mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open while you sleep. Your healthcare provider may prescribe CPAP to treat sleep-related breathing disorders including sleep apnea. CPAP also may treat preterm infants who have underdeveloped lungs.
