Putting the filter back into your ResMed AirSense 10 CPAP machine is a simple step, typically done after cleaning or replacing the old filter. Based on information related to filter maintenance, the process involves positioning the filter correctly and closing its compartment.
Here's a guide on how to put the filter in your AirSense 10:
Locating the Filter Slot
The filter slot on the AirSense 10 is usually located on the back of the unit. It's a small rectangular opening designed to hold the disposable filter.
Steps to Insert the Filter
Once the old filter is removed, inserting the new or cleaned filter is quick:
- Prepare the Filter: Ensure the filter is clean or that you have a new, disposable filter ready.
- Position the Filter: Orient the filter correctly. It should slide smoothly into the designated slot on the back of the machine.
- Insert the Filter: Gently push the filter into the slot until it sits flush or securely within the compartment.
- Close the Slot: As referenced in information regarding filter maintenance, you need to "put it back again. Close the slot." This involves pushing the filter completely in and then closing the cover or door over the filter slot to secure it.
Filter Maintenance Tips
Proper filter maintenance is crucial for the performance and longevity of your AirSense 10 and for ensuring you breathe clean air.
- Regular Cleaning/Checking: It's recommended to check the filter frequently. Information suggests "giving that a flick every couple of weeks" to remove any accumulated dust or debris.
- Replacement Frequency: Replace the disposable filter regularly. The recommended frequency is "every three to six months depending on on how gusting your environment is." If you live in a dusty or smoky environment, you may need to replace it more often.
- Check for Wear: Always inspect the filter for tears or significant discoloration before putting it back in or when replacing it.
Maintaining a clean filter ensures your AirSense 10 operates efficiently and provides optimal therapy.
