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 or wet, machine performance can be affected. It is easy to see the condition of the filter. Replace when it becomes discolored. Heated humidifiers can cause water to collect in the filter chamber, thus clogging the filter and adversely affecting therapy. If wet, remove the filter from use and set out to dry. Dry time may vary.

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.

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.

not enough air   February 25, 2010

(2 out of 5) by cpap man

"Takes all smell out of the air. However, it does not allow enough air to get through to the mask. if you take a deep breath, the mask sucks in towards your face."

Bacteria Filter didn't work   February 04, 2010

(5 out of 5) by Richard P, Athens, TX

"Having allergy problems when using my CPAP, but very few allergy symptoms when not using the machine. I replaced my filters with new ones, bought a new air hose (for easy cleaning) and installed the new Bacteria Filter to hopefully remove allergins. It didn't work."

Sleep better   January 26, 2010

(4 out of 5) by Annoymous User

"I hope the unit will filtrate cleaner air, I seemed to have been sleeping better, and it even soaks up a little the water from rain-out which helps for better sleep. But the connection was quite challenging, the instruction for connecting the filter is unclear, I had a hard time looking for a connector to couple it with the system."
