Product Details
Summary
CPAP and BiPAP Bacterial Filter by Sunset Healthcare
This Bacterial Filter from Sunset Healthcare significantly reduces the bacteria and viral content in your CPAP or BiPAP airflow. It is compatible with CPAP and BiPAP machines of all brands and connects to all standard 22mm OD CPAP tubing. It can be used with or without a heated humidifier.
This filter is not washable and should be replaced weekly or when dirty. If this bacterial filter is connected to a machine with a heated humidifier, it will require more frequent replacement, typically every three days. This is because the filter becomes saturated with moisture from the humidifier.
Usage Instructions
Connect one end of the bacterial filter to your machine and the other end to your hose. If you are using a heated tubing, place the bacterial filter between your CPAP mask and heated tubing.

Hi Jeff, please give us a call and we will help you install the filter. It fits in between the device and tube, or in between the tubing and the mask. You can call us at 866-936-3754.

Subject: bacterial filter for my cpap
I bought this to catch any particles that may get blown through the air tube on my dreamstation CPAP due to the recall. It worked just fine. Just make sure you get the right size for your tubing. It did not reduce the airflow and it gave me a greater sense of security while waiting for the replacement machine came in.

Subject: Fyi heated tube issues
Bought to use due to recall. It's not a 100% solution but maybe an ok option to help short term. I have a heated tube and this does not connect to heated tube on machine side. Had to wear at top of my mask on had where my tube plugs in which is not ideal.
Switched to non heated tube and can use on machine end.

Subject: Easy to install
People need to read and understand that Phillips (the manufacturer of the machines) and not Respshop is to blame for this issue. The filter is super easy to install. 1) Remove tubing from the machine 2) Put the larger end of the filter end where tubing usually goes 3) Attach hose to smaller end

Subject: Sunset Healthcare CPAP Bacteria Filter
I was interested in increased health precautions with my Philips CPAP Machine, and the Sunset Healthcare CPAP Bacteria Filter filled the bill for me. It is well designed, easy to install, and works well. I now regularly purchase the bacteria filter in combination with my other CPAP Supplies.

This device is only able to protect from particulates, not off-gassed chemicals. This is why we only recommend this if advised by your physician to use.

Subject: Anti Bacterial
If you are caught in the recall if Phillips CPAPS this is the way to go until your machine is replaced. Filters work great. Each one is good for about a week. Very surprised how much it catches. I’ll continue using with my new CPAP.

Subject: Very large for an inline filter
While I'm sure these work great, I can't really use them due to the placement of my machine in the open section (not on top) of my nightstand. I dont think the makers really took "limited space" into account.

Question
Is the filter ok to use on a CPAP with humidifier?
Answer
Yes you may use this filter with a humidifier. You will need to change it more often if it gets wet for it will create a resistance in your airflow. I suggest changing every other day or 3 days at most. Thank you

Question
I have a so clean for my Philips will the filter still work and how often will I have to change it. Also should I use the cleaner with the filter?
Answer
Philips is recommending that patients halt use of ozone-related cleaning products. Dish soap and water is what is recommended, and vinegar/water solution as needed. The filter is recommended to be used with the Humidifier off as well, as the filter will last longer this way. If used with the humidifier you may only get about 3 days of use on it. We are however sold out at the moment, so please check back weekly for updates.

Question
How long can you use the filters on the machine before changing it?
Answer
The filter is generally good for about 1-2 weeks. You can look inside of the filter, and if it looks a dark grey or black after 1-2 weeks it is time to change it. This is with your Humidifier turned OFF. If the humidifier is being used with the filter, it will only last about 3 days.

Answer
Hello you may purchase the Sunset Healthcare CPAP bacterial filter from Respshop link below. It will go between the cpap and the tubing. However you may not use the humidifier during this time and if you have a heated hose you will need to place it between the mask and tubing.
