CPAP Tubing & Hoses

CPAP tubing is a hose that connects your CPAP mask to your sleep apnea therapy device. Most standard or slimline tubing is compatible with any make or model of CPAP or Bilevel machine. Heated CPAP tubing is specific to the make and model of machine. Heated tubing cannot be interchanged between makes and models and is not recommended to be attempted as it could void a warranty. Standard hose tubing will range between 2 feet to 10 feet in length while the Heated tubing is a standard 6 feet in length. The tubing is corrugated on the inside which can attract and hold condensation that is being provided by a heated humidifier. If the tube is not cleaned consistently, it can develop mold on the inside of the tube where water becomes trapped. The tubing should be cleaned weekly and replaced every couple of months. When a tube has become over-stretched, it will eventually cause holes and leak. It is important to grab the rubber end of the tubing when removing it from a mask or the machine. This will prevent the tube from stretching out over time.
