Learn More About This Product

There are countless times each night where CPAP users become entangled or tug at the CPAP hose, pulling the CPAP mask away from their face. As you struggle with the CPAP hose, you lose rest. The frustration can discourage further use for new users and even for the experienced CPAP user, who has their nighttime environment personalized with CPAP pillows or customized bedding. The ability to travel with such comfort items is difficult. Now there is The HoZer.

Weighing in at only 12.8 Ounces, Levitation Systems has now introduced The HoZer Travel Hose Management Solution. Experience a new freedom from the woes of Sleep Apnea. The Hozer easily lifts the CPAP hose away from your body. The extension arm raises the CPAP hose off of the bed. The ultralight frame allows you to turn in any direction without finding the hose in your way. You can sit up and even get out of bed!

The Hozer is constructed of strong, durable, quality parts. The system assembles in minutes and is made to provide years of nightly use. The extension arm can be fitted with either of two or three section lengths. The adjustable clips allow for just the right fit to any standard CPAP hose. To install, slide the base under the mattress at the side of your bed. When done, the entire system breaks down similar to a pop-up tent. The Hozer folds up and stores in the supplied travel bag and can even travel with you.

30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee: If not completely satisfied with the product, the manufacturer offers a 30 day money back guarantee. Simply contact CPAP.com for Return Authorization and instructions within the first 30 days of purchase.

The Hozer comes with a One Year Warranty. Please contact a CSR at CPAP.com for a Return Authorization.
What is CPAP tubing / CPAP hose?
CPAP tubing and CPAP hose are interchangeable terms. CPAP hoses / tubing are used for two main purposes: to connect a CPAP or BiLevel machine or a humidifier to a mask, or to connect the machine to a humidifier.

Machine to Mask Hose. A hose is connected to the air outlet of either the machine or humidifier and it connects to the CPAP mask to deliver the airflow to the mask. In the past, the hose used to connect a machine to mask was a standard size. Today, there are a number of different hose options. There are three types of machine to mask hoses:
  • Standard / Performance Hose: A long hose or tube is included with each CPAP / BiLevel machine purchase. The connections on all CPAPs, humidifiers and masks are a standard size, so a standard CPAP hose will fit on all. Standard hoses are also available in 8 foot and 10 foot sizes. There are lighter hoses available that were designed to be more flexible and put less pull on the CPAP mask.CPAP Performance Tubing
  • Heated Hose: A heated CPAP hose contains copper coils embedded in or wrapped around the length of the hose. These coils conduct a constant temperature through the hose. The majority of heated hoses are specific to the machine. Heated Hose
  • Hose with Sensor Line: A few auto-titrating CPAPs and Bilevels require a pressure line sensor fitted into the hose to detect breathing patterns and pressure needs but the majority of those machines are no longer in production. (Machines which use the tubing pictured below have been discontinued by the manufacturer.) Sensor Line Tubing

Humidifier Hose. Humidifier hoses connect a CPAP or BiLevel machine to a stand alone humidifier. Humidifier hoses are shorter than standard hoses. They come in either 18 or 24 inch lengths.
18 in Humidifier Hose
Are all CPAP hoses the same?
In years gone by, the answer to this question would have been "yes", but today not all hoses are the same and some machines use different hose types. All CPAP hoses / tubings serve the same function: directing the air stream from the machine to the mask.

Historically, a standard CPAP hose is six feet long, has an internal diameter of 19mm and a connector cuff with an internal diameter of 22mm. Today some hoses are 6 feet long, others are 4 foot long, 8 foot long and 10 foot long. Some hoses have an internal diameter of 19mm (standard) and others have an internal diameter of 15mm (thin or slim style). To use a slim 15mm hose, the machine must have a menu option setting to accept the narrower diameter of a 15mm hose and still deliver the prescribed pressure to the mask to ensure effective therapy.

All hoses have a 22mm connection cuff and fit on all CPAP masks. The connection ports on all CPAP, APAP and BiLevel machines, humidifiers, and masks are a standard size, so a standard CPAP hose will fit on all. Some of the very small machines use a hose adapter between the machine and the 22mm cuff of the hose.

Some manufacturers offer a heated hose option designed to work only with their machines. To read more about heated hoses see the "What is a heated CPAP hose?" article included in this FAQ section.

A few auto-titrating CPAPs and BiLevels require a pressure line sensor to detect breathing patterns and pressure needs. The sensor may be in the form of an adapter with narrow tubing attached or the narrow tubing is 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.
What is a heated CPAP hose?

A heated CPAP hose contains copper coils embedded in, or wrapped around, the hose. These coils are gently heated to conduct a constant temperature throughout the length of the hose. This enhances the comfort of the therapy and reduces or eliminates rainout caused by the water condensing as it travels through the hose to the mask.


Heated hoses are more expensive alternatives to cloth tubing insulation, but they prevent rainout in nearly all cases. The Hybernite Rainout Control System is a stand alone option that can be used with any machine to prevent rainout and increase delivered humidification.

Hybernite Rainout Control System


Some manufacturers have developed heated hoses to work specifically with select machines in their product lines. The ClimateLineAir™ Heated Tube for AirSense™ 10 and AirCurve™ 10 Machines is an example of a heated hose used by the AirSense™ 10 and AirCurve™ 10 Machines.

What is a hose cover?
A hose cover is placed over the hose in order to insulate the hose and to make the hose more comfortable. The simplest and most cost effective way to insulate a CPAP hose is to wrap it in an insulating fabric. This enables the hose to remain flexible and adds little weight.

Companies such as Snugglehose provide a cost effective tubing insulation available in several colors and styles. Not only will the covers reduce or eliminate rainout, they also provide a more personal and less institutionalized appearance. An example of a Snugglehose is shown below.

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 do I clean a CPAP hose?

Your CPAP hose will last longer if it is detached every morning and hung to air dry.


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. Remember, what is in the hose goes into the airway.


If you are not drying the hose daily, then be sure to replace the hose very frequently as negative health issues will result!

Hose care tips:

  • Remove the hose by gripping the end or cuff, not the hose itself
  • Hang the hose to dry after each use
  • Wash hose weekly to avoid residue and maintain health
  • Protect the hose from curious pets


Hose care tools:

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 include dry, cracked places on the inside lining or on the rubber ends; "stretch marks" near the rubber ends; mineral deposits or mold from water left inside the hose; or a visible puncture or tear in the material.

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. Also, there are 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. One example is the HoseBuddy Tangle Free CPAP Hose Suspension System:

Will my CPAP operate on DC / battery power?

All CPAPs will operate on DC power with the use of an Inverter to change the current from DC to AC before it reaches the machine. However, many will operate on DC power without the need for an inverter, just a power cord that plugs into the CPAP and ends in a cigarette lighter plug.

Inverters do require a lot of power. If you need to use an inverter to run your machine on battery power, the inverter will probably take about half the life off the battery.

To determine if your CPAP will operate without an inverter, look for a DC outlet on the machine, either at the back or on the side, with a single opening directly in the center. It should be labeled "DC POWER" or similar term. You can also review our Compare Charts to see if your machine has a optional DC cable option.

Here is a video describing different DC cable and battery options for various machines:

 
Will my CPAP operate overseas?
An adapter may be required to plug a US power cord into a wall outlet in a foreign country. CPAP.com sells an assortment pack of World Traveler Power Adapter Plugs, which allow CPAP machines to plug into different types of wall sockets found in different countries.
All the models CPAP.com sell contain power converters that enable the machine to operate on any AC current from 100 to 240 volts without any adjustment.

Verified purchase | May. 15, 2012 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
This hose manager is easy to set up, and certainly has decreased my "boxing" with the hose as I turn over in the middle of the night. I wish it came with extra hose clips; they don't look sturdy. Plus if you rinse your hose everyday, that's a lot of wear and tear on those tiny plastic parts. Based on the way the Hozer solution looks, I have to wonder how those other, less expensive hose managers operate and look like. ??

Fabulous!

Verified purchase | Dec. 20, 2011 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
Just terrific! I only lasted two weeks struggling with a hose laying across my chest. I bought this, set it up in minutes (didn't use the middle section, I have a high bed) and wow what a different. I love it, no wrapping up in the hose, having it hang down over the bed, struggling with it under the covers...................and the nose pillow doesn't dislodge, I can sleep on my side much better! Great value to me for the money.

Best product ever!!!

Verified purchase | Dec. 20, 2011 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
This is the best thing that I have purchased since I found out that I had severe sleep apnea. What a difference it made to sleep more comfortable. I have a 6ft hose, so I removed the middle section of the rod and it works beautifully. I was hesitant due to it's price, but after going through so many sleepless nights of readjusting my hose all through the night, that I figured it was worth the risk. The only thing is I wish they offered a little larger clip so I can put it over my snuggle hose cover which I also ordered. I just can't clip it all the way closed. GREAT INVENTION!!!

Makes a big difference!

Verified purchase | Dec. 17, 2011 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
This was a tremendously worthwhile purchase! I toss and turn a lot, so wrestling with my Hose each night was aggravating. The Hozer set up quite easily, and within minutes I was checking out where to best position so the flexible rods would suspend hose and mask at just the right spot. From that first night I noticed how much easier it was as I turned from back to side, etc while falling asleep. I may have even slept longer between wakeups. I like that it breaks down to fit inside a small travel bag but I haven't travelled with it yet. Definitely get this one over the less expensive ones if you can afford it.
