How often should I clean my mask? How should I take care of my other equipment?
Maintaining and caring for your therapy equipment is essential so that you can get the most out of your treatment.
Mask care
You may not realize it, but over time your skin releases facial oils that can reduce the quality and performance of your seal and mask. So after wearing your mask, clean your mask thoroughly to remove any facial oils.
Clean the cushion of your mask every morning, after using it at night. That way, you will have a clean, dry mask ready to use for your next treatment. Cleaning your mask will also remove facial oils to optimize your mask's seal.
To clean your mask, hand wash each day with mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaning products, which may damage the mask, or leave harmful residue. Allow to dry away from direct sunlight.
For more information on how to clean and care for your mask, please refer to your mask User Guide.
Filter change
A blocked air filter may impact on the pressure delivered to you. It's important to regularly examine the air filter for holes or dust build-up. Refer to your user guide for specific recommendations on how often you should maintain your device.
Humidifier care
Maintaining your humidifier is important in order to achieve effective treatment and prevent the buildup of deposits.
We recommend that the water tub should be emptied daily, and always use distilled water to avoid mineral build-up. The tub should also be checked once a month for wear and deterioration. If any component has cracked or become cloudy or pitted, the tub should be replaced.
Tubing care
Wash in warm soapy water, then rinse and air dry on a regular basis.
