Understanding CPAP Machines
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. There are three main types typically, referred to as ‘CPAP machines’ although some are technically APAP (automatic positive airway pressure) or Bi-PAP (bi-level therapy).
CPAP machines deliver constant airflow which is why it is also known as a fixed-pressure Sleep Apnoea machine.
APAP machines vary the pressure automatically in response to your needs.
BI-PAP machines are for patients requiring high pressure and deliver a different pressure level for breathing in and breathing out.

Where can I hire a CPAP machine?
Your local Blooms The Chemist store may be able to assist you with a hire CPAP machine so that you can see if it will be suitable for your needs. To hire a machine we require that you have completed a sleep study with your doctor or the overnight sleep test. For more information you can contact help@bloomsthechemist.com.au or your local store.
Is it OK if my new CPAP machine operates at a higher pressure?
If you have replaced an older CPAP machine you might find that your new CPAP machine supplies a higher pressure.
What is the purpose of the humidifier in the CPAP machine?
Humidifiers can help to reduce some of the side-effects of CPAP therapy, such as a dry nose, by increasing the moisture content of the air that is being delivered to you by your CPAP machine.
What is the purpose of the tubing used with a CPAP machine?
Tubing is used to carry air from your CPAP machine to your mask. Check your tubing regularly to ensure it is clean and free of tears.
What is the purpose of the filter in my CPAP machine?
Filters help to remove allergens and protect your CPAP machine from dust. Some CPAP machines have two filters - a regular filter and an ultra-fine filter. Reusable filters are made from foam and can be reused by washing with warm, soapy water once per week. Disposable filters should be replaced when they become discoloured, or about once a month.
