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.

1–10 of 26 Questions
Q. Is the filter ok to use on a CPAP device without humidifier?
A. Yes, it is in fact better for its longevity to not use a humidifier.
Q. Is the filter ok to use on a CPAP with humidifier?
A. 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
Q. I have a Philips Dreamstation that is part of the recall. Can this filter be washed and reused or is it restricted to one-time usage (3-7 days depending on humidifier)?
A. These can't be washed, they are meant to be disposable single-use items.
Q. 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?
A. 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.
Q. How long can you use the filters on the machine before changing it?
A. 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.
Q. I need Philip's to ship me THIS FILTER TO CORRECT THEIR ISSUE TEMPORARILY now for free please!!! Sincerely EFFECTED BY THIS RECALL AND DO NOT APPRECIATE THE LACK OF ATTENTION AND PUTTING THE RESPONSIBILTY ON THE DR AS TO USE OR NOT USE THIS DEFECTIVE CPAP
A. Hello, I am going to ask you to call our office at 1-866-936-3754. Thank you
Q. You mean I have to pay for your mistake
A. Hi Nancy, we are not the manufacturer of the recalled devices. If you would like to speak to Philips Respironics regarding the recall, please call their official recall line at 1-877-907-7508.
Q. Shouldn't phillips provide free filters to a affected customers?
A. Hello,
We are not able to speak for Philips as we are not Philips. Please contact Philips at 877-907-7508. Thank you.
Q. Which one do I purchase for my machine and where does it go on machine
Diana Pezzulich
A. 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.
https://www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/filters/sunset-healthcare-cpap-bacteria-filter-p-804.html
Q. Which replacement filter do I order?
A. This is a Bacterial Inline Filter that can be used in between the machine and standard tubing, or between the tubing and the mask. It can be used to prevent particles from entering your airway, if there is breakdown inside the machine. This is a standard filter and will be any standard tubing sizes.

I came across the CPAP Bacterial Filter on the Respshop website, and it was during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It was also a time of CPAP recalls for my CPAP for retrofitting, and I am now a regular user of this bacterial filter, and will no longer do without it. The cost is minimal compared to keeping the air I breather at night clean. It is so important to have valuable products like this to maintain your health and proper sleep patterns.

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.

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: 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.

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: Respshop
Folks, don't ask this company to send you free filters because the PHILIPS company recalled their C-Pap machine. This respshop is not a Philips company. They only offer filters to those who's doctor recommended them as a temporary fix. Respshop is separate from Philips. They can help you by selling filters and explain to you how to install them. They tell you right off the start that these filters do not filter out the dangerous gases eminating from the foam insulation. Only pieces of foam get caught so you don't continue inhaling them through the hose. The gases were there before you even put the mask on. They can make you very sick including some reports of cancer believed might be a factor.
So please do not blame respshop for Philips recall. Mine was recalled but I was able to convince Medicare that even though I only had it for 1 year, I was told to stop using it so that paved the way for me to seem it unusable and I want you to cover the price of a new one.
They agreed that it was an inferior product and gave me the ok to buy a C-Pap machine. Any brand. So I'm waiting for a resmed Airsense C-Pap machine. Excellent reviews.

Subject: Bacterial filters
Due to the "recall" I decided to use a inline bacterial filter for my protection. The order was quickly shipped and received. The filter does not seem to interfere with the flow of air and is simple to install in my unit. I used a "Sharpie" to write the day the filter was inserted and will replace it every three months or sooner if the surface shows debris or the airflow is affected.Will order again!

Fantastic inline filter for your CPAP hose. This is especially important if your CPAP has been recalled and you are waiting for action from Philips. This inline filter will remove any particulates.

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: Sleep APNEA DOT Medical requirements
I am a truck driver, the trucking industry requires all truck drivers who have sleep apnea to use this machines and stay 80% compliant. The (DOT) Dept of Transportation doctor down graded my perfect 2 year medical license to 3 months until I get up to compliance using the machine. I just found out about the recall by ordering supplies, no one was going to tell me this device may cause cancer. Now I may loose my career because I will not be able to meet the DOT compliance they require. A lot of drivers will loose their driving careers if the DOT does not give them a medical extension until this mess is fixed.

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.

John H
Subject: not worth it
The bacteria filter I bought is $7 and cast me $13 in shipping! That is unacceptable and I will not be using this company in the future. Also the filter degraded my CPAP pressure slightly, so I stopped using it. This was supposed to be a stop-gap while the CPAP recall process plays out, but Respshop said I need to replace this filter every three days! Are you kidding me? At that price? Good business move Respshop! Bad move for me!

Hi John, on our webpage for the product, it does say that this is just to protect from particulates, but will not protect from gas unfortunately. This should only be ordered if recommended by your doctor. The filter can only last 3 days if you use it with the humidifier as the moisture will block the pressure. It is also noted that users may notice a differential in pressures depending on current settings. I do apologize for the inconvenience. If you decide to order more, please use code FILTER to save on shipping for the filter.

So I have to purchase a filter to prevent my CPAC Machine from killing me. Isn’t that something that Phillips should be sending out to all machine owners. I have been talking with several machine owners and we think it’s time to file a class action suit against the company. You were told by your doctor to use it every single day Phillips is taking forever to make this problem go away. Just saying

Why wasn’t a notification sent out?

Phillips should be sending these filters at no cost to everyone who has one of their CPAP machines recalled. Patients have already been exposed to harmful chemicals due to Phillips' faulty equipment - and now you want them to buy your filters to protect them from your mistake.

SO this Dream station CPAP machine is not safe to use but i am told that i must purchase filters and a lot of them, 2 - 3 filters per week when using humidity
If this faulty equipment is needing a filter shouldn't they be supplied by the manufacturer at no cost to the customer ?
the worst is i just learned about this recall on 7/14/2021
i would think my oxygen supply company (Lincare) would of /could of told me immediately but they NEVER do anything of the sort.
so when can i expect a temporary fix/ permanent fix for this deadly device
