Sleep Well Teaches Paul Wolfe How To Care For His CPAP Machine

If you use a CPAP, you need to keep up with replacing vital parts regularly. Thankfully, Sleep Well in Bangor has what you need, when you need it.

You probably already know it's very important to be not only cleaning certain parts of your CPAP machine but replacing parts as well. If you didn't, you should chat with one of the experts at Sleep Well in Bangor. They can show you how to properly care for your CPAP, and fit you to the most effective sleep therapy options. For example: When I started using my CPAP, nasal cushions were not working for me. Sleep Well noticed this issue via my CPAP sleep data. So they had me try a different mask, and I've had no issues since.

Another reason to choose Sleep Well: They have everything you need for your CPAP machine on-site, not in a warehouse. So when you need that new full face mask cushion, or headgear, or tubing, or filters; you can stop by Sleep Well and leave with what you need. Or you can utilize their Patient Portal online, and have your items shipped right to your door. Your supplies will arrive within a day or two, instead of waiting weeks.

Having what you need, when you need it, is one of the things they do best at Sleep Well. Some parts need to be changed as often as two weeks. Here's a rundown of how frequently you should be changing out some of these vital parts to your CPAP machine.

• Filters - Every two weeks
• Nasal cushions/pillows - Every two weeks
• Full Face Mask Cushions - Every month
• 6 ft. Corrugated Tubing - Every 3 months
• Mask and Headgear - Every 6 months

With regular use and consistent cleaning, some parts begin to break down. This is especially true with full face mask and nasal cushions. When worn down, they can create leaks, causing discomfort when using your CPAP. With the year ending in a few months, have you met your healthcare deductible? Parts for your CPAP machine are covered by most insurances, so take advantage at Sleep Well.
