Product Details

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.

Was constantly having problems with my sinuses until I found these little gems. I would recommend these to anybody and everybody who has a cpap machine! You will definitely notice a difference from day 1 of use. Love this product......

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: CPAP RECALL
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

Subject: CPAP Recall
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. Why should they now have to pay for a filter?! Phillips is putting so many people's health at risk. Shame on you! I want free filters delivered to my home until Phillips fixes this mess!

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.

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

Hello, please remember that we are not the Manufacturer. Philips Respironics is the manufacturer. Please direct your concerns regarding the recall to them directly at 1-877-907-7508.

Subject: Recall CPAP
I think a class action suit should be entered. I would not have known about any of this if I didn’t call ResMed to order supplies and hear their announcement regarding the “Recall”�. Had to Google it to get information and now I have to purchase a stop gap temporary fix. Philips needs to step up and supply all the effected users of their inferior product with everything needed. Why wasn’t a notification sent out?

Please note we are RESPSHOP.COM and not Philips. We are here and ready to help if we can.

Subject: Adapter
First of all, I can believe I was charged to order an adapter for a CPAP machine that is being recalled due to expelling cancerous toxins. The recommended adapter not fit the CPAP machine. What a rip off

The filter should fit between your mask and your tubing. Please give us a call and we can assist with installation. 1-866-936-3754.

Very pissed off. Have developed breathing problems. Why do we have to buy these filters if its a recall. I'm now seeking the assistance of a attorney. Not happy

Yes we understand that as well. Please note the recall is with Philips and not with Respshop. Give us a call as we can offer some short term fixes during this difficult time. You may want to consider renting for a while or purchasing a travel device as your back up.

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!

Question
I have a Dream Station 2. The end of the hose that plugs into the unit had 3 prongs that go into the 3 holes on the unit.
Will this adapter work due to it not having the 3 prongs to lock into the unit.

Answer
The Dreamstation 2 is not affected by the recall, so you don't need to use this filter with your device. The foam in the Dreamstation 2 is not the same as the affected sound abatement foam for the recall. Thank you.

Question
I can't figure out how to put this on my machine. I saw the reply to put it on between the machine and the tubing, but how?

Answer
Your mask may have a quick connect which is a piece that fits in the tubing, that makes it easier for you to remove and apply your mask to the tubing. This would be why the filter is not fitting. You would need to remove that piece from the tube and attach it back to the mask. The filter would then fit between the filter and the tube. Please give us a call if you would like further guidance. Thank you.

Is the cost listed for an individual filter, or do they come in packs?

Answer
Hi, this is for 1 filter.

Question
I have a Remstar SE Auto, Do these filters attach to the outlet on the CPAP machine or between hose and the mask?
The filter seems too stiff to attach directly to the outlet on the Remstar machine.
Thanks.

Answer
The filter works both ways, but I would suggest attaching it between your mask and hose, that way if you're still using humidity and a heated tube, it may last longer then having it attached directly to the device.

Question
I ordered some bacteria filters because of the recall. Do they attach to the base of the hose? How often should they be changed if I don’t use a humidifier? Thanks

Answer
Hi, they should be placed between your cpap machine and tubing. Change them every week unless you use the humidifier then every 3 days max. Thank you

Question
I also have a Dreamstation which uses the humidifier with the heated hose.

Other YouTube videos claim this will not support the heating hose because of how the end is.

Is this even a valid statement? From other responses provided to folks ob here with the same Dreamstation humidifier, it sounds as everything will be fine.

Can you please confirm?
Thank You!

Answer
Hi, yes it will not work there, but you may put it between your mask and hose. Thank you

Question
I have a Dreamstation, by Philips. Because of the recall i am considering using your filter. I also use a hot humidifier and hose and all. Which filter is the best for me, please? Could you recommend one? There are some differences in numbers and i am not sure which one to buy. thank you.

Answer
Hello,
This filter will block the debris from the foam should be replaced every week. However, since you are using a humidifier, the filter will need to be replaced more often (every 2-3 days ideally). It doesn't work as well when wet. They come as a pack of 5 filters. The 5 x 5/pack or 10 x 5/pack may be a better option since you will need to replace them often.
Hope this helps!
