Worn out equipment can lessen the effectiveness of your treatment. See when to replace it.
Facial oils deteriorate the sealing effect of cushions over time, even with proper hygiene. Don't tighten the headgear when you feel leaks. Over-tightening causes discomfort and pressure points, and can lead to additional leaks.
Use only mild, soapy water. Don’t use soaps with moisturisers or perfumes. Learn more about mask care
A mask that doesn’t fit can cause you to readjust your mask continually and/or over-tighten the headgear, which reduces how long it can work effectively. Contact your provider to get re-fitted.
These can be leakage issues, cushions that lose shape, and/or components or cushions that become cracked or torn.
If following the recommended maintenance routine, components should be replaced as follows:
Your Philips sleep therapy components | Recommended maintenance routine |
