Cleaning FAQs

How do I clean the humidifier, mask and tube? How often should I do this? Regular cleaning of all equipment is vital to ensure its longevity. Follow the cleaning instructions given in the applicable equipment manual.

Below is a brief summary of recommended cleaning of your equipment at home.

TUBING: Every day your tube should be rinsed with warm soapy water and then left to dry.

WATER CHAMBER: Should be rinsed daily with warm soapy water then rinsed with clean water. Weekly, the chamber should be cleaned more thoroughly with one part white vinegar to two parts water. The chamber should be left to stand with this solution before rinsing with distilled water.

MASK: The mask should be cleaned daily. For Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s nasal masks, the headgear, silicone seal and grey foam cushion should be removed from the mask frame. The foam cushion should be wiped with a cloth (it is important not to immerse this in water as it will deteriorate and reduce the life of the cushion). The mask frame and the Silicone Seal should be washed with warm soapy water. Once rinsed, leave to dry before reassembling. The headgear should be washed weekly with warm water and a mild detergent. For the Oracle™ Oral Mask, cleaning should be undertaken daily with warm soapy water for all parts. The mask should be left to dry before it is reassembled and used. The Soft Seal of the mask (the part that sits inside the mouth) can be rinsed in an antibacterial/antiseptic mouthwash (e.g. Listerine); this will give the Soft Seal a more thorough clean and at the same time leave it tasting pleasant.
