The CozyHoze BOSS is a wall mounted tubing management system for home or travel. The entire apparatus will fit in your palm, consisting of a wall mounting hook and two spring loaded, self-retracting reels with enough tension to suspend the hose above your bed. The wall mounting hook can be installed with screws or use the 3M Command Adhesive Strips to provide a temporary anchor, designed not to damage surfaces.
To remove the Command Adhesive Strips, hold the wall mounted hook base and slowly pull the adhesive tab Straight Down, about six inches until adhesive releases. Always use replacement 3M Poster Command Strips part# TM-17025.

Installation Instructions
The wall mounted hook should be placed about 2 feet (22 to 28 inches) above your pillow and about 6 inches off center from the middle of the bed. Use the alcohol prep wipe to clean the surface and allow for the area to dry. Remove the protective backing for the adhesive strip and apply to the base of the wall mounted hook with pull tab extending below the narrow part of the hook base. Remove the black cover from the Command Adhesive strip and apply to cleaned surface with the narrow part of hook base (and pull tab) pointing down. Allow 20 minutes for adhesive to set.
The Velcro loops can be installed around a SnuggleHose or similar hose cover. Attach Reel #1 to your hose approximately 18 to 24 inches from the mask. Once installed, the mask should hang about six inches above the pillow. Attach and adjust Reel #2 further away from Reel #1, depending on the weight. The heavier your mask and hose (including hose covers), the closer the Velcro Strap on Reel #2 should be installed to the Velcro Strap on Reel #1. You will have more tension the closer the two Velcro straps are together. Reels are designed to provide light tension and should not fully retract when the system is in operation.
"I think this is a great product. It's easy to install and doesn't damage the wall. It allows the user free movement without pulling the hose out of the machine. It is quieter and more flexable than draping the hose over the headboard. I will reccomend this product to my patients."
wonderful

"Works great. Keeps the hose over your head and doesn't allow mask to pull to one side."
Works..

"With my headboard I can't have it as high as needed, but it keeps the hose out of way.."

"Very quiet so far so good"

"This product is OK at best. I could not get it to perform according to the "you tube" instructional video. These thing put to much tension on the mask while moving to a different sleeping position, which caused mask leaks. I will be trying the management system made by Arden next."
CPAP tubing and CPAP hose can be interchangeable terms. CPAP hoses/tubing are used for two main purposes: either to connect the machine or humidifier to the CPAP mask, or to connect the machine to a humidifier.
Machine to Mask Hose. Machine to Mask hoses are the standard hose used with most therapy setups. The hose is placed to the air outtake of either the machine or humidifier and connects to the CPAP mask to deliver the airflow to the mask. There are three types of machine to mask hoses:
Standard/Performance Hose.Standard 6 foot hoses come included with each cpap machine purchase. The posts on all CPAPs, humidifiers and masks are a standard size, so a standard CPAP hoe will fit on all. The standard hoses are also available in 8 foot and 10 foot sizes. There are also lighter hoses available that were designed to be more flexible and put less pull on the CPAP mask.
Hose with Sensor Line. A few auto-titrating CPAPs and Bilevels require a pressure line sensor to detect breathing patters and pressure needs. The machines that require this tubing have been discontinued and are no longer sold.
Heated Hose. A heated CPAP hose contains copper coils embedded in or wrapped around it. These coils conduct a constant temperature through the hose. Heated hoses can only be used with specific machines.
Humidifier Hose. Humidifier hoses connect a CPAP machine to a stand alone humidifier to deliver airflow from the machine to the mask. Humidifier hoses are smaller than standard hoses. They come in either 18 or 24 inches.
Are all CPAP hoses the same?
All CPAPs use basically the same hose, but there may be additions that are necessary to operate certain machines.
A standard CPAP hose is six feet long. The ports on all CPAPs, humidifiers and masks are a standard size and so a standard CPAP hose will fit on all. The best hoses are smooth-bored for less noise.
Many auto-titrating CPAPs and bilevels require a pressure line senor to detect breathing patterns and pressure needs. The sensor may be in the form of an adapter with narrow tubing attached, or narrow tubing threaded inside the six foot hose. In both cases, one end of the narrow tubing is plugged into the machine. Those machines will not operate without the pressure line sensor.
There are certain delivery devices, such as the Comfort Curve, which require a special CPAP hose, too.
What is rainout?
Rainout is the accumulation of water in a CPAP tube due to warm moist air cooling on its way from your CPAP machine to your CPAP mask.
Solutions to rainout include raising the temperature of your bedroom, insulating your tubing with a Snugglehose, or purchasing a CPAP machine with an integrated heated hose.
How often should I replace my CPAP hose?
CPAP hoses can last a long time, sometimes up to a year if taken care of properly.
Signs of wear are dry, cracked places on the inside lining or on the rubber ends; "stretch marks" near the rubber ends; and mineral deposits or mold from water left inside the hose.
Your CPAP hose will last longer if you detach it every morning and hang it to air dry. It should be removed by grasping it on the rubber ends, rather than on the hose itself. A "Hose Quick Connect" is available to help remove and replace the hose more easily.
Drying the hose each morning will also prevent bacteria from growing in the damp interior and help reduce the possibility of colds and other health issues.
If you are not drying the hose daily, then be sure to replace the hose very frequently as negative health issues will result!
How do I avoid getting tangled in CPAP hoses?
There are a few ways to keep from getting tangled up in your CPAP tubing. Try running your CPAP hose behind the headboard of your bed. There are also several types of suspension systems we carry here at CPAP.com. You can see the different types of Hose Management Systems under our Comfort & Cleaning section. An example of a hose management system, the CPAP Hose Lift System, is shown below.
