What about ordering CPAP masks and basic accessories—like CPAP filters—outside of the replacement schedule?
All of these questions and more are answered below, as Aeroflow Sleep explains how and when you can swap CPAP equipment in today’s blog.

Learn how to be proactive with your first order, by helping doctors quickly submit the right information to Aeroflow Sleep.

Don’t worry; this blog has all of the answers you need for your first machine.
