Keeping Your CPAP Equipment Safe from H1N1 Influenza
Sunday October 4, 2009
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you are likely being treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
It is important to keep this equipment clean because you are breathing
whatever may be growing inside it. However, should you... be especially
concerned about H1N1 influenza? How can you protect yourself?
Fortunately, you should not be any more concerned about H1N1
influenza than with any other germs or infections. It is spread through
aerosolized droplets, and it is unlikely that your CPAP equipment would
represent any special exposure risk, especially as you are probably not
sharing it with other people. Therefore, following the same cleaning instructions as you always should will likely keep you safe.
It is important to wipe out your mask on a daily basis and the other
equipment should be cleaned with warm water and soap on a weekly basis.
In general, if you have been sick, you should clean your equipment more
often. Using good, simple hygiene will keep you healthy.Read More
