How Long Should I Expect My CPAP Machine to Last?

Make sure your CPAP Machine stays in top shape for the best sleep therapy.

Replacing your CPAP supplies regularly is an important part of your therapy, including your machine. A good machine with no major breakdowns can last you a solid five years. But that means taking good care of it throughout that time. It is necessary both for hygiene and for ensuring everything works efficiently so that you have the best possible CPAP experience. That means keeping on top of masks, filters, hoses and more.

As for the main unit, it’s a complex machine you’re (hopefully) using for 8 full hours every single night. It’s not going to last forever, or even more than a year or two if you don’t take care of it. Ignoring your machine’s needs is similar to driving a car 8 full hours every day for a few years, and never getting your tires checked or rotated!

Below we’re going to take a look at the important pieces of CPAP upkeep, as well as some simple steps that will ensure your CPAP machine is working at an optimal level.

Your new CPAP supplies could be yours for $0! Almost all insurance companies follow this recommended replacement schedule. Allow us to check with your provider for you to find out what is covered (for free!). Click below to get started:

1. Make sure you are regularly replacing your supplies.

When your supplies wear out (which will happen over time with use), the seals become loose and insecure. Filters fill up and slow your CPAP down. It’s important to replace your supplies regularly to keep your CPAP from overworking to get you your pressure.

Full face cushions are recommended for replacement every month, and nasal options (both cushion and pillows) require changing every 2 weeks. Luckily, this is also the same schedule that most insurance providers are willing to cover replacement supplies. Using insurance for your CPAP supplies is convenient not just because it saves you money, but also because it helps you adhere to a replacement schedule.

2.Use an auto CPAP for maximum efficiency.

Did you know newer machines adjust automatically through the night? During the night, small changes mean you may require an adjusted pressure setting. Auto CPAPs never overwork because they adjust the pressure breath-by-breath.

The ResMed AirSense 11 Auto CPAP also features automatic comfort settings to help you stay CPAP compliant:

  • Auto-titration: automatically adjusts the pressure level to fit your unique needs
  • AutoRamp: allows the machine to slowly ramp up to the pressure you need, making it easier than ever to fall asleep while using your CPAP
  • Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR): lightens the pressure upon exhale
  • Auto-titration: automatically adjusts the pressure level to fit your unique needs
  • AutoRamp: allows the machine to slowly ramp up to the pressure you need, making it easier than ever to fall asleep while using your CPAP
  • Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR): lightens the pressure upon exhale, making breathing more pleasant

3. Make sure your mask stays clean.

If your mask isn’t kept clean every day, it can affect your seal during the night. Without cleaning, masks and water chambers will break down faster. A dirty mask can also affect how well your mask seals to your face, as build up from your skin can weaken the barrier formed with the silicone.

The Lumin CPAP cleaner features:

  • Simple and Quick: Lumin kills 99% of bacteria in a one-touch 5 minute cycle
  • UV Technology: specialized UV-C light source targets harmful bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungus
