Building a relationship
with your Auto-CPAP in
FOUR WEEKS (or less)
At the end of your Auto-CPAP trial, our goal
is to ensure you are successfully wearing your
Auto-CPAP every night, all night.
For some this
may happen immediately, while for others they
may need more time to adapt. This is normal.
Try to use your Auto-CPAP every night,
even if it is for short periods.
•
You may want to try using it when you
are awake and relaxing (e.g. watching
TV or reading) to start.
•
Make sure you are relaxed and ready
to put on your mask. Find a relaxation
technique that works for you.
Remember, Auto-CPAP will
get easier each night you use it.
Daily Cleaning
Wipe your mask seal and cushions with
CPAP wipes or a warm, damp, soapy cloth.
Rinse your humidifier chamber with water and let dry.
Weekly Cleaning
Wipe your machine with a clean, damp cloth.
Wash your mask, headgear, tubing and water chamber in warm,
soapy water. Use a small amount of mild dish detergent (non-antibacterial).
Note: Antibacterial soap can damage masks.
Rinse your equipment in clear water. Shake the excess water from the tubing and hang
to dry. Towel dry your headgear and hang to finish drying. Air-dry all other equipment
Remove the filter from the machine. Rinse the filter under running water, squeeze out
excess water and air dry.
Caution: Do not use soap to clean the filter; only water.
Change your filters as per your Careica sleep clinician’s instructions.
Check the water level in the
humidifer chamber prior
to sleep each night.
Use distilled water only.
Do not transport your equipment with water in the humidifier
Your CPAP device contains sensitive electrical equipment that can be destroyed
by water. Always empty your chamber completely before transporting your CPAP device.
Smoke damages CPAP devices
Equipment can become damaged if it is used by a smoker or in a house where people smoke.
This is NOT considered normal usage. With your Auto-CPAP trial, you will be asked to sign an agreement
that asks you to reimburse Careica for the cost of replacement or repair of any smoke damaged equipment.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Daily cleaning of your mask prevents
the breakdown of the silicone seal
on your mask. It also helps to prevent
mask leaks, bacterial growth,
and skin irritation.
