What is CPAP?
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. It is the most common and effective therapy for the people with sleep apnea and related breathing disorders to alleviate the symptoms. It works by delivering a steady stream of pressurized air through a mask, keeping your airways open during sleep for a consistent flow of oxygen. This prevents pauses in breathing, reduces snoring, and ensures you get restorative uninterrupted rest.
How CPAP Therapy Works?
A CPAP machine consists of three key parts:
- a small motor that generates continuous airflow
- a humidifier that adds moisture to prevent dryness
- a mask that fits over the nose or nose and mouth, delivers air pressure.
By preventing the collapse of throat tissues, CPAP therapy helps maintain normal breathing patterns all night long, ensuring adequate oxygen supply to the body.

Usage Tips & Maintenance:
Consistency is key. For maximum benefit, use your device every night, even during naps. Skipping nights can reduce the therapy’s effectiveness and bring back symptoms of sleep apnea.
Always wear your nasal or full-face mask before turning the machine on. Breathe normally and allow the air pressure to stabilize for a comfortable start to your therapy.
Wipe the mask cushion with a mild, non-alcoholic wipe to remove oils and bacteria. This keeps the seal effective and ensures comfort.
Disconnect and wash tubing and humidifier chamber weekly using warm water and mild soap. Allow to air dry fully before assembling.
Check the CPAP filter every 2- 4 weeks. Replace disposable filters monthly or clean reusable ones as recommended to ensure fresh airflow.
Position your device on a flat, dust-free surface away from sunlight. This prevents overheating and improve performance.
Adjust mask straps if you notice air leaks or discomfort. A proper fit improves therapy results and prevents irritation.
Have your machine checked by your provider or supplier periodically. Regular servicing extends device life and ensure reliable therapy.
