Generic Outlet Bacteria Filter (10 Pack)

Is it Safe to Use with a Heated Humidifier?

The foam filter is safe to use with your CPAP humidifier. It is important to remember, heated humidifiers can drip water into the filter. If water drips into the filter, moisture can clog the filter and result in less effective therapy. If the foam filter becomes wet, remove it from the machine and set it out to dry. Drying times may vary.

Tips for Troubleshooting Installation

M Series Machine: If a Whisper Cap is used on an M Series machine without a heated humidifier, the Whisper Cap will not fit when an outlet bacteria filter is included. To use the Whisper Cap, the outlet bacteria filter, and the machine without the heated humidifier, add a Hose Quick Connect or a M Series Tubing Swivel between the CPAP machine and the bacteria filter.

IntelliPAP Heated Humidifier: The area surrounding the IntelliPAP Heated Humidifier does not yield enough space for the outlet bacteria filter to connect to the unit. Attach the FlexiTube Angle Adapter for CPAP and BiPAP Machines to the humidifier to provide ample space for the connection. The CPAP hose fits onto the other end of the bacteria filter.

Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

The disposable filter should be replaced every 30 days or sooner if the filter fills with debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the filter only. Sleep therapy may be impacted if the in-line outlet bacteria filter becomes wet.
