Image Description

With viral and bacterial filtration efficiencies of over 99.99+% each Universal Inline Bacterial Viral Filter for CPAP/BiPAP Therapy comes complete with holders as shown! Hudson's filter technology helps stop the viruses and bacteria that often plague CPAP/BiPAP users creating a clean, sterile environment for airflow.

Features

  • Viral & Bacterial Filtration Efficiencies of over 99.99+%
  • Quick & Simple to Install and Replace
  • Allow for Bi-Directional Airflow
  • Low Resistance to Gas Flow means that you keep the strong airflow you've come to expect from your CPAP/BiPAP machine
  • Sonically Sealed -- No Chemical Adhesives

The Inline Bacterial Viral Filter is easy to install and should not require re-calibration on most CPAP machines including those from Respironics, ResMed, Fisher & Paykel, Puritan Bennett, and DeVilbiss. Simply attach it to your machine between the air outlet and your standard CPAP/BiPAP tubing. After that, turn on your machine and experience a steady flow of clean, pure, good tasting air.

The Inline Bacterial Viral Filter's naturally hydrophobic filter allows maximum filtration with a minimum loss of air flow.

Usage Information: Bacterial Viral filters last on average 4-6 weeks however your filters may last longer or shorter. In general BV filters should be changed whenever the filter material looks dirty.

Usage Notes: 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).

    I have used it for about a month and I see that it is getting a bit gray on the CPAP side but on my side it is nice and white blocking the grime that would have been in my lungs.

    You can't use this with a humidifier. I did not find that out until I received it. Waste of money. They should make one that fits in the air inlet filter before the humidifier or warn you it can't be used with a humidifier.

  • My Dream Station machine has a very specific connection to the hose.

    25

    The filter works best if you can attach it to the machine and your hose to the filter. Attaching the filter at the end of your hose and then your mask to the filter is too heavy,bulky and annoying. It caused marks on my nose bridge when I was sleeping because of the weight. Get it if your machine has a simple connection and can be placed first to the machine and then the hose. I really didn’t see a colour change in the filter after trying it for a week but with a houseful of holiday guests coughing and sneezing all night, I thought the extra filter might help keep me healthy.

  • In-Line Bacterial Viral Filter

    55

    I have severe allergies to various environmental dusts and dust mites. Too much was getting by the filter on my CPAP. The In-Line Bacterial Viral Filter is a great solution. I place it on the end of the hose coming from my CPAP machine. It doe not interfere with my sleep. I just change it monthly when I change my CPAP filter.

  • Seems like a good investment

    45

    I have horrible allergies and was experiencing sore throats when waking up. This doesn’t happen very often while using the in-line filter. Only downfall I find as a side sleeper is the filter is bulky and the hard plastic container has clunked me a few times. Also holds a lot of water/condensation within the plastic case.

    I can tell the difference in air quality when using this filter. At home, I usually change it every month. However, when I'm traveling, sometimes I find myself in environments with poorer air quality. I recently went to Nicaragua and my filter turned brown and had to be replaced after only 10 days!

  • Bacterial Viral Filter for CPAP

    35

    Fulfilling the order was no problem. The filter appears to work, however, I've found no guidance as to how often the filter needs to be replaced. In other words, what signs do you need to look for that indicate that you are ready for a new filter. I changed the filter when the discoloration was obvious (on the tank side, not the hose side)...but I can only wonder if the filter should be changed more often or not. It would be nice if the retailer and/or the manufacturer would provide some guidance in this area. If there were clear guidance, I would give this product 5 stars!

  • Problem

    25

    These filters have created more problems than solved. Cause a moisture backup, a constant gurgling sound and restricts flow. So our take on this is while they are relatively inexpensive they just don't do what we hoped they would

They turn black after a month or so from catching all the junk that would go into your lungs without it. Easy to install between bipap outlet and hose, no tools needed. Highly recommended.

    I searched on internet for a filter, and found this one and at been the best thing I could have done.

Wish her doctor or cpac supplier had told us there was this filter.

    The first night the filter worked fine with ResMed Auto with Humidifier. The second night I felt like I could not breath. There was also a lot of condisation in the hose and nasal pillow. I had to take the filter off the machine. I would like to try the filter again and see if it works better.

  • Retains high amounts of moisture

    25

    These filters retain so much moisture from the humidifier that by morning, the filters are soaked and the oblong filter chamber is filled with condensate. The wet filters can develop mold and mildew bacteria trading one contaminant for another. I think the filters interfere with the auto humidification systems in my Auto-CPAP machine.

    55

    I use a CPAP ResMed S9 Auto and this filter I could see how much dirt is in the air we breathe, as the filter gets dirty in a few days. How do I use also a Eson mask, I noticed that the diffuser mask has become much cleaner time. I installed the filter on the outlet air humidifier H5 and the trachea connected to it, so I consego the air that goes into the hose reaches my nose clean and free of impurities. When I use the CPAP without this filter immediately notice an irritation and a feeling that the air I'm breathing is dusty. It is an excellent product and very important for my health.

  • They seemed like a good idea....

    25

    To have an extra fine filter in the line seemed to a be good idea until I tried them. They partially defeat the A-Flex operation of the cpap machine. When I exhale there is still a incoming pressure to fight. Without the filter there is no back pressure to fight.

  • Additional filtering

    55

    This filter installed on the outlet of my CPAP picks up anything that gets past the regular CPAP filters. After a week of use, I can see some discoloration on the filter inlet side and after three weeks the need for a new filter is obvious. Sleep is better & I don't have that stuffed up/mini cold feeling any more.

    Yes, it is true that the filter will not work with humidified systems - if the filter is placed directly on the air output. Do not do that. Instead place the filter upstream between your hose and your mask. Then it will work just fine.

    I installed this filter in an attempt to eliminate/reduce my recurring sinus infections, even though I replaced my humidifier water daily and thoroughly cleaned all CPAP parts weekly. No infection issues for nine months since filter installation and a bonus is the filter stops humidifier mist from accumulating in my hose and mask. CPAPXCHANGE provided me with much information on what to expect with the installation of the filter since I was unnecessarily concerned.
