Tips for ResMed Water Chamber HumidAir AirSense/AirCurve 10
Daily Cleaning
To prevent bacteria and mineral buildup, rinse the water chamber daily with warm water. Avoid using any harsh cleaning agents or detergents that might damage the chamber. Visit our cleaning solutions for CPAP products.
Distilled Water Usage
Always fill the water chamber with distilled water instead of tap water. Distilled water reduces the risk of mineral deposits forming inside the chamber, ensuring the longevity of the chamber and the quality of your therapy.
Regular Inspection
Check the water chamber regularly for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks, warping, or discoloration. Any of these signs can indicate it's time for a replacement to maintain the effectiveness of your humidification.
Proper Filling
Do not overfill the water chamber. Fill it only up to the maximum fill line to avoid water entering the CPAP machine, which can cause damage.
Allow to Air Dry
After cleaning, leave the water chamber to air dry on a clean towel away from direct sunlight. Ensure it's completely dry before you use it again to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
Gentle Handling
When inserting or removing the water chamber from the CPAP machine, handle it gently to avoid damage. Make sure it's correctly seated to avoid leaks.
Replacement Schedule
Replace the water chamber periodically as recommended by the manufacturer or sooner if you notice any significant wear or damage. This ensures that your CPAP therapy remains effective and hygienic.
Storage
If you're not using the CPAP machine for an extended period, empty the water chamber and store it dry to prevent mold and bacteria from developing.
