Cleaning Your PAP Mask Interface and Headgear
Congratulations! You have made an important step towards improving your health
by starting PAP therapy. The use of your equipment, also called compliance to
therapy, is crucial to improving your Sleep Apnea. Equally as important is
proper cleaning of your CPAP mask and supplies. Daily cleaning of supplies is
important in keeping your airway open while you sleep by maintaining a good
seal between your face and the mask. When there is a break in the seal of the
mask to your face it is called a “leak”. Leaks can compromise the efficacy of
your treatment.
Instructions for mask cleaning after each use:
-
Disassemble the mask according to the disassembly instructions found with your mask. Disassembly includes:
a. Removal of the mask from the CPAP tubing
b. Removal of the cushion/pillows from the frame of the mask (see below for weekly headgear cleaning instructions)
c. Remove the headgear from the mask assembly
d. If your mask has clips, you do not need to remove these prior to washing -
After you have disassembled your mask, fill your sink or a large bowl with warm drinking quality water ~85 F (30 C) and mild dish detergent. You should use unscented dish soap whenever possible without moisturizing agents or other additives. Thoroughly clean all mask components by gently rubbing for up to 10 minutes
-
Use a soft bristled brush, such as a clean toothbrush to clean the vent of the mask
-
Rinse all components of the mask thoroughly with drinking quality water
-
Allow mask components to air dry, taking care to keep out of direct sunlight
