Key Product Information

    Manufacturer: Philips Respironics

    The In-line Bacteria Filter is a must-have among CPAP supplies for any customer suffering from allergies. This filter cleans the air as it leaves a CPAP or Bilevel machine. It is used in conjunction with the machine's built-in inlet filters to provide very clean air. It is a recommended CPAP supply compatible with all CPAP and Bilevel machines. This Respironics outlet filter is unique in that it does not reduce the pressure at the mask. It installs easily on all machines.


    Returns Offered on Warranty Issues Only

CPAP.com Comments
If the filter becomes very dirty it can affect machine performance. It is easy to see the condition of the filter. Replace when it become discolored.

This filter may have an impact on the ability of any Auto Adjusting CPAP to accurately respond to airflow restrictions during use. If the average treatment pressure is below a pressure of 7cm H2O this should not be used.

We recommend that this product be used only by CPAP users who do not normally use a heated humidifier. Heated humidifiers can cause water to collect in the filter chamber, thus clogging the filter and adversely affecting therapy.

CPAP and BiPAP machines with Auto On/Off Feature. The Auto On/Off Feature has a difficult time sensing air flow, which helps determine whether the machine is in use or simply blowing air. Our tests show the Auto On/Off feature does not work with the following machines:
  • ResMed S8 Vantage
  • ResMed S8 AutoSet II
  • ResMed s8 VPAP
  • ResMed s8 VPAP Auto 25
  • ResMed VPAP Malibu
If a Whisper Cap is used on a M Series machine without a heated humidifier, it will not fit if used together with a outlet bacteria filter. If you wish to use both a Whisper Cap and a outlet bacteria filter without a heated humidifier, then you should add a Hose Quick Connect or a M Series Tubing Swivel between the cpap machine and the outlet bacteria filter.

As always, just call if you have any questions.

"they do not work in overly dusty hotel rooms, large hotel rooms in example. they work best when air purifiers are in use in the room however, i continue to have minor and mild dust allergy attacks and if they continue i will have major surgery to correct the sleep apnea instead of using the machine. some one need to make a machine that stops dust, dust mites and all other crap in the air from getting in the machine and into the patients sinus"

"After using the filter for a few weeks I believe that the quality of air is a little better resulting in less head-stuffieness upon awaking. So basically I am satisified with the filter as I have the same refreshed and ready to go feeling when I get up. I have noticed, however, that when the CPAP machine is turned on there is s new wheezing sound which seems to imply some air restriction. I now have some concerns about receiving the correct air pressure or wondering if the machine will wear out more quickly."

not recomended   October 07, 2009

(5 out of 5) by Jorge M, San Juan, PR

"The product does look good, but I could not breath with it attached to the CPAP. The effort I had to do to breath properly was extreme. I am not using it, period."
