Sunset Healthcare Inline Bacterial Viral Filter for CPAP/BIPAP/Vent Units
Product Description
Product Highlight:
The Inline Bacterial & Viral Filter for CPAP and BiPAP machines is a smart upgrade for anyone looking to improve the quality of their sleep therapy. Designed to connect easily between your device and tubing, this high-performance filter helps protect your airway by capturing over 96% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. It’s especially beneficial for allergy sufferers or anyone sensitive to airborne irritants. With a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency of 99.99% and a Viral Filtration Efficiency of 99.9%, this filter delivers dependable protection so you can breathe cleaner, healthier air throughout the night with confidence.
Product Features:
- Exceptional Filtration Performance: Achieves 99.99% BFE and 99.9% VFE, effectively blocking harmful bacteria and viruses.
- Allergy Relief: Greatly reduces allergy symptoms by filtering out small particles, making it perfect for sensitive individuals.
- Easy Integration: Designed to fit 22mm connections, it easily attaches between your CPAP or BIPAP machine and tube for immediate protection.
INSTALLATION: Inline Bacterial Viral Filters are usually attached to the CPAP or BiLevel machine's air outlet; however machines that offer integrated heated tubing require the tubing to be connected directly to the machine. If you want to use an Inline Bacterial Viral Filter with a heated tube consider attaching the BV Filter at the end of the heated tubing closest to the mask. If that is too bulky for you a FeatherWeight connector tube can be added to move the BV Filter further away from the mask attachment.
USAGE: Inline Bacterial Viral filters are disposable and should be replaced whenever the white filter material begins to look dirty. These filters will last on average 4-6 weeks before needing to be replaced, however your filters may last for a longer or shorter amount of time depending on environmental conditions. Some users find that using In-Line Bacterial Viral Filters can reduce pressure and therapy effectiveness in humidified CPAP/BiPAP machines. Use of Inline Bacterial Viral filters may adversely effect auto sensing on Auto-CPAP machines especially at low pressures (below 7cm).

Cleaning & Replacing Guidelines
THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO REPLACING & CLEANING YOUR CPAP SUPPLIES
With cold & flu season and COVID-19 in full swing, it's more important than ever to focus on your health. Don’t know where to start? Start with your CPAP supplies. You use this equipment every night, so making sure it's being replaced and cleaned properly, is critical not only to your sleep health, but your overall health as well.
Did you know that the natural oils from your face stick to your cushion? Over time, this will soften your mask cushion and break down the seal. Unfortunately, you will then experience air leaks and a poorer night sleep. Do not let this happen to you!
We created the ultimate guide (as recommended by major insurance companies) to make sure you are replacing your CPAP supplies on time and cleaning them correctly!
WHEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY CPAP SUPPLIES?
See below for the insurance recommended schedule:
- Every 6 Months: Headgear, Black Non-Disposable Filter & Chinstrap
- Every 3 Months: Frame, Tubing
- Every Month: Full Face Mask Cushions
- Bi-Weekly: White Disposable Filters, Nasal Mask Cushions
- Only when cracked or broken: Humidifier Chamber
Failure to timely change your CPAP supplies could lead to infections and respiratory problems! There is hidden bacteria, grime, and dirt all over CPAP supplies!
HOW SHOULD I CLEAN MY CPAP SUPPLIES?
In-between new supplies, pollen, dust, bacteria, and air particles build up on your supplies. Manufacturers, suppliers, and sleep physicians all recommend regular cleanings of your CPAP equipment and supplies; but keeping track of when to clean what, is no easy task! We are here to help.
“It is vitally important to keep everything as clean as possible, as hoses/tubing and masks can be a prime breeding ground for bacteria and mold,” said Phoebe Ochman, director of Communications for Sleep Apnea Treatment Centers of America.
CLEANING YOUR CPAP SUPPLIES
- Add warm water to a bathtub or sink.
- Mix in a mild soap. Some patients prefer baby soap, the Neutralizing Pre-Wash by SoClean, or a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar.
- Swirl around for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
- Leave all items to hang/air dry. Be sure to dry the chamber as much as possible with a paper towel or cloth, and then leave it out to air dry the rest of the way.
- Clean all high-touch surfaces like nightstands, doorknobs, and light switches daily with a disposable wipe or a cloth and an EPA approved disinfectant.
Important Tips
- Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals.
- Empty unused humidifier water daily and refill nightly.
- If distilled water is unavailable, a back-up chamber should be kept on hand to immediately replace if residue develops.
- If your mask has magnetic clips, leave them attached to the mask frame before cleaning.
Another option is to use a CPAP cleaning machine. It will save you time and energy for easy sanitizing and kill bacteria, germs, and other pathogens on your supplies. Let it do the hard work for you!
