Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle™ Standard Breathing Tube with Elbow
Air Liquide Reference Number: 5952S
About the Product
Keep your sleep therapy practical, lightweight, and reliable. If you don't require temperature-controlled airflow or are looking for a straightforward, travel-friendly alternative to a heated hose, the genuine Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle Standard Breathing Tube with Elbow is your perfect match. Built with high-quality, lightweight materials, this standard tube ensures a consistent delivery of your prescribed CPAP pressure without adding unnecessary weight to your setup.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Integrated 90-Degree Elbow: Comes equipped with a built-in angled machine connector. This smart layout routes the tube neatly downward from your device's air outlet, significantly reducing pull strain on your mask and preventing frustrating hose kinks at the machine interface.
- Enhanced Sleeping Mobility: Designed to be highly flexible and low-profile. By absorbing your natural nighttime movements, it dramatically reduces tube drag, allowing you to turn comfortably without breaking your mask's cushion seal.
- Universal Mask Connection: Features a standard 22mm click-on terminal cuff on the user end, making it universally compatible with virtually any CPAP mask on the market.
- Travel-Friendly Choice: Being non-heated, this tube lacks internal electrical wiring, making it significantly lighter to pack, easier to wash on the go, and highly durable for everyday handling.
⚠️ Important Machine Connection Note: While the mask end of this hose is universal, the machine-end cuff with the integrated elbow adaptor is custom-molded to fit only the specialized air outlet port of Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle series machines. It will not click into devices from other brands or older F&P models.
Care and Maintenance Tips:
- When to Replace: To maintain strict hygiene and prevent microscopic pinhole leaks that lower your therapy pressure, sleep specialists recommend replacing your standard CPAP tube every 6 months.
- Weekly Cleaning Routine: Disconnect the tube from both your mask and the SleepStyle machine. Submerge the hose in warm water mixed with a mild, unfragranced liquid soap. Gently agitate the water through the core, then rinse completely under clean running water.
- Drying Guide: Hang the tube over a door or towel rail with both ends pointing down, allowing it to air dry entirely out of direct sunlight before connecting it back to your machine.
- What to Avoid: Do not use bleach, alcohol, chlorine, or highly perfumed antibacterial soaps, as these chemicals turn medical-grade plastics brittle. Never wash this component in a dishwasher or dry it with an electric hair dryer.
