Airlife Disposable Bacteria Filter 001851 Overview

For people with breathing complications, different machines may be used to help treat the air coming from the machine before it gets to the patient. In the case of someone using a CPAP machine, the air produced by the machine's might be inhaled by the patient overnight. With these high levels of exposure to the machine altered air, it is important to filter for any extra bacteria or other harmful microorganisms. Whether you use an Oxygen Concentrator, CPAP Machine, or Nebulizer, the ends of the filters should fit snuggly between the tubing for the machine and the attachment to the machine itself. This may vary for different brands or specific machines.
