We’re here to help you replenish your supplies before year-end
It’s that time of the year again — your private health benefits are likely to reset next year. If you haven’t replaced your mask or your CPAP supplies yet, now is the time. Don’t wait until the mask breaks or your cat punctures a hole in the hose.
To help you receive the supplies you need, we are open throughout the holidays both in-clinic and online (except for December 25th and January 1st). And don’t forget, Apnea Health Vaudreuil is open on Saturdays!
Below we outline what private health benefits cover and with what frequency.
Why should you replace your CPAP supplies regularly?
Necessary for hygiene: ensures the safety of your sleep therapy and minimizes chance of getting sick.
Decreases common problems: mask leaks, build up of calcium in water chamber, growth of bacteria in both water chamber and tube.
Protects your CPAP and you: filters, filters, filters! We can’t overstate the importance of filters. Here’s why:
Filters for the CPAP: if you don’t want to wind up with a noisy CPAP after a couple or years, you must change your filters regularly. The filters protect the CPAP’s motor!
Filters for you: protects you from dust and particles in the air.
Easy-to-choose replacement kits
To make it even EASIER to replace your supplies, we offer replacement kits for the most CPAP machines!
Did you know that your insurance covers 1-2 masks per year AND all CPAP maintenance items, such as filters, tube and water tubs?
Health insurance benefits normally reset January 1st, so don’t forget to use them or you’ll lose them. Also, please keep in mind that there may be delays with parcel delivery since Canadians are doing most of their shopping online.

We all wanted to hope it wouldn’t be true, and it’s easy to pretend it isn’t coming back when you’re still sipping drinks on the patio at the height of summer, but like it or not every winter, magical as the season can sometimes be, also comes with the risk of falling under the weather.
When your nose is congested it can seem like putting on the mask is the last thing you want to do – but don’t fall for it! Done right, not only can CPAP treatment boost your immune system by helping you get the restorative sleep you need, but the warm, humidified air can provide direct relief of symptoms. Here are a few pointers for you to make the most out of your treatment, even when you have the flu, so that you feel better and get better faster.
Heated humidity helps
Don’t forget to fill your water tank! Most CPAP machines these days come with the ability to add warm humidity to the air you breathe. If yours doesn’t, an upgrade is definitely worth the investment! They were designed to improve comfort at all times, but humidifiers are especially helpful in dry winter air, and most especially when you’re sick. Pressurized air, with the added warmth and humidity, can physically loosen up a congested nose and help you breathe easier. But it doesn’t work if you don’t use it – so make sure you refill your humidifier tub every night with distilled water.
Change up your position
If you’re used to sleeping like a big happy starfish, good for you, but it might not help things when you’re feeling sick. Sleeping on your back will tend to increase stuffiness and post-nasal drip. An easy tip is to try flipping onto your side when you sleep, to avoid uncomfortable build-up. Just make sure to have the right sized pillow under your head and neck to keep your spine aligned – you don’t want to add a stiff neck to your list of cold symptoms.
The contour CPAP pillow will help you keep yourself in a comfortable position while keeping your hose under control all night.
Shop contour pillow
Flush out the pipes
The Neti pot is an ancient Indian invention that’s resurging in popularity for its simplicity and effectiveness at relieving nasal congestion. It’s essentially a funny-looking little teapot made of ceramic or plastic that you use to pour a solution of salt, baking soda and distilled water (which you should already have on hand) through your nostrils to clear out nasal and sinus congestion. They’re available at pharmacies everywhere and can provide great relief when you’re all blocked up. If you prefer a more modern approach, you can also find pre-packaged saline sprays or over the counter decongestant or antihistamine nasal sprays that will help keep the pipes clear and make breathing through your nose easier, so you can keep using your CPAP.
The big guns – the full face mask
People that are chronic mouth-breathers when they sleep will probably already have been guided into the wonders of the full face mask, and know it lets you continue therapy while breathing through your mouth all night. If you’re already one of them, maybe skip ahead to the next section… Alright. For the rest of us who are used to nasal or nasal pillow masks: when you’re super congested and nothing is working to clear your nose, a full face mask will let you breathe through your mouth while still getting the full benefit of your CPAP treatment, so you sleep better and begin to feel better faster as a result. The same applies whether it’s a cold or it’s allergies blocking you up, and it works so well that many chronic sufferers will buy a full face mask as a backup to use when the nasal mask just won’t cut it.
Auto CPAP machines don’t just blow air at a fixed pressure, they use sophisticated algorithms to measure your needs and adjust accordingly, so you get more air when you need it. That means when your nasal passages are restricted, the machine can tell you’re working harder to breathe and will adjust to give you the pressure you need.
If you don’t have an Auto CPAP or it’s time for an upgrade, they’re definitely worth looking into.
Apnea Health can help find just the right machine for you.

How is your CPAP mask fitting these days – for real? Is it staying in place? Or does it slip off like a thief in the night leaving you robbed of proper sleep?
A mask that moves around at night can cause leaks that force air in your eyes or towards your partner, and leave you not only suffering a poor night’s sleep but stuck with the red face marks to prove it.
If fit issues are giving you grief, check out the lightweight but incredibly stable Eson 2 Nasal Mask created by Fisher & Paykel – it might just change the way you sleep!
Advanced diffuser: The angled, washable diffuser does a great job of reducing noise and draft, leaving you and your partner undisturbed
Easy, stable headgear: Once you’ve fine tuned the fit adjustments (they’re all over the headgear) you can stretch it right over your head to put it on and take it off – you don’t even have to use the clips!
RollFit Seal: The soft silicone cushion gives you a precise fit that stays sealed by self adjusting over the bridge of your nose
VisiBlue highlights: Colour-coded blue highlights give you visual cues for quick, intuitive assembly
Easy Frame: Its narrower profile leaves you a clear line of sight while maintaining maximum stability

What about sizing?
While innovative cushion, frame and headgear designs help make the final fit perfect for the Eson 2, like many masks it also comes in various sizes to get you in the right zone before fine tuning. Most patients (something like 85% of them) will find the “medium” to be the right fit, but Apnée Santé can help you make sure you get the size that’s just right for you.
The F&P myMask™ App is designed to support patient mask setup. F&P myMask helps you and your patients effectively fit, fine-tune and clean F&P CPAP* masks for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

The AirFit F20 Full Face Mask is the perfect solution!
With an open visibility mask design, innovative cushion technology, and padded headgear, the AirFit F20 is a minimal and light full face mask that is designed specifically for your comfort.
If you’re used to not being able to read or watch TV with bulky forehead support and a heavy mask, you won’t believe how comfortable the F20 is. The mask sits low beneath the eyes and has extra padding, increasing wearability while still giving you effective CPAP therapy and no leaks!
“The Air Fit 20 is a wonderful mask! The best I have used in 15 years.”
“I have been using this mask for the past 3 months. Being a mouth breather I could not find relief with any of the other types of masks/pillows I have tried. I am happy with the quick release on the sides it helped a lot while i got use to the mask.”
“I’m on 17# and this is the ONLY mask on the market that holds it. Best mask ever.”
“Best fit for me, no leaks from day one, tried many others that leaked and were noisy. My ahi is excellent.”
Now is the perfect time to try this full face mask system for yourself.
You’ll love it and you’ll find yourself better rested and energized the next day with the AirFit F20.
The AirFit F20 CPAP Mask system is a perfect choice – you’ll be glad you tried it.
Being advised to switch to a full face mask isn’t a sentence – in fact it can be incredibly liberating!
Don’t think it means you’re in for some bulky WWII-looking thing; full face masks today are comfortable and easy to wear, and for lots of people they work better than their more compact cousins.
Why short change your therapy if a full face mask will help you sleep and feel even better? Here are some reasons a bigger mask might be a fit for you…
Don’t be insulted – we’re not name calling! But do you wake up with cottonmouth all the time? If so, it means you’re breathing through your mouth while you sleep and you definitely need a full face mask.
If you use a small nasal or nasal pillow mask but your mouth tends to fall open at night, the pressurized air will escape noisily from your mouth. Not only is that loud and disruptive, it renders your CPAP therapy way less effective.
It’s more humid outside than in
Does your pillow double as a drool-catcher? Come on, you know who you are! If this applies to you, even some of the time, you’re probably experiencing occasional dryness as well, either in your mouth or your nasal cavities.
But I have a humidifier you say? Well, humidifiers help a lot, but if your mouth is open with a nasal mask they don’t work nearly as well – the moist air comes in through your nose but blows right back out through your mouth, making the whole system less efficient.
Don’t be afraid to try a full face mask and enjoy the maximum benefit of your CPAP; your body (and your pillowcase) will thank you!
You’re under a lot of pressure
We’re not talking about stress, although a good night’s sleep with CPAP therapy can help with that too.
No, what we’re talking about is your pressure settings. If your respirologist says your therapy calls for a higher pressure, say a setting of higher than about 15cmH2O, a lightweight or nasal pillow mask might not cut it. A leaky seal at higher pressures is a common nuisance that’ll leave you steaming.
While a lighter mask may not seal under pressure, a full face mask will stay comfortably put no matter how high the pressure gets.
You’re all stuffed up
Everyone gets congested from colds or allergies sometimes, some of us a lot of the time. When stuffiness strikes, breathing through your nose is like eating mashed potatoes with a straw, and your nasal mask quickly gets tossed.
Enter the full face mask! When the mask covers your nose and mouth, you get to breathe easier no matter how clogged your schnoz.
Full face masks are so effective at aiding sleep when you’re congested that a lot of patients keep one around as a ‘plan B’ when their nose gets too stuffed for their smaller mask to work. Why not? It isn’t like flu season or allergy season will stop coming, so if you know you’re going to be struck again, you might as well be prepared so you can get better sleep year round.
Whether full time or just when you need it, a full face mask is nothing to be shy about – it can make all the difference in your CPAP therapy. Talk to us today to see if a full face mask might be the right fit for you.
The best fit for you
At Apnea Health, we’re all about making sure that your sleep therapy works for you. We carry many options for full face masks, so you can rest easy knowing you’ll find just the right fit.

The Fisher & Paykel Sleepstyle Auto takes sleekness and simplicity to a new level with its compact, stylish and user-friendly design.
The SleepStyle puts breakthrough humification technology and auto-adjusting pressure algorithms into a modern, easy to use and comfortable package – this CPAP looks as good as it makes you feel!
The SleepStyle combines the humidifier and the quiet drive into a full-featured yet compact footprint that gives you big CPAP performance with a minimalist mindset. It’s small enough to be travel-friendly with its convenient carry bag, and sleek enough to look good on your bedside table when you stay home.
Self-adjusting comfort
The SleepStyle’s SensAwake technology works through the night to automatically detect periods of wakefulness. When your sleep cycle enters a more awake stage, it promptly reduces the pressure to a gentler level, easing the comfortable return to sleep.
Why do our clinicians love the SleepStyle?
Souad, in our Mascouche clinic, says that the SleepStyle is her go-to CPAP especially for patients who don’t tolerate large changes in pressure. Other CPAP have a more aggressive algorithm resulting in patients swallowing more air and becoming bloated or waking up due to the rapid pressure adjustment.
ThermoSmart humidification
CPAP manufacturers all know that humidification is key to comfortable sleep therapy. The new ThermoSmart heated breathing tube with its innovative AirSpiral technology was conceived to minimize condensation (sometimes called rainout) by adapting to ambient changes in heat and moisture levels. This keeps you comfortable and reduces strain so your sleep stays even.
Access simplicity
The humidifier is not only smart but easy – it takes just a push of a button to open the chamber wide and access the water reservoir, so filling and cleaning is as simple as can be. Just lift it straight out and drop it back in with no awkward angles or guesswork.
Expiratory relief
For an added layer of comfort, this CPAP automatically relieves the air pressure every time you breathe out, making your therapy even less intrusive.
Shop sleepstyle
Finger friendly
Large but streamlined, the easy-to-press buttons give you control of a simple and intuitive menu. The only CPAP with an Ease of Use Commendation from the American Arthritis Foundation, the SleepStyle was designed to make every aspect of your sleep therapy clean, simple and easy.
Modem and App
The built-in modem clever bit of technology allows an automated data transfer with us so we can make sure your therapy is working at its best. We can check your stats remotely, and help with tips and adjustments as part of our care for life program.
The SleepStyle app lets you instantly track your own progress on any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone so you get a detailed look into how your therapy is working.

Some of the best things in life come in a two-in-one package: shampoo and conditioner, peanut butter and jelly, a spork – the list goes on and on.
It’s the same thing with the DreamStation Auto from Respironics.
Because of the removable humidifier, it’s the perfect bedside sleep apnea fighter. You can use it at home AND on the Go.
Simply detach the humidifier and it becomes light and compact… the ideal travel CPAP! There’s no more need to purchase a second machine.
The truth of the matter is that not all of us have the dough to purchase two CPAP machines – one for travel and one to use at home. Of course, some of us don’t even travel that much, which would make purchasing a separate travel CPAP extravagant. With the DreamStation, you can have the best of both worlds.
The DreamStation makes your comfort the top priority. It’s the quietest CPAP machine on the market, making for a peaceful environment for you (and your sleep partner).
A big factor for comfort is heated humidification – it prevents dry mouth and sore throats, and when you’re at home, a humidifier is a must. However, if you are heading out on vacation or a quick business trip, you might want to ditch the humidifier to save luggage space.
With the DreamStation, you can do just that! Its versatile, detachable design means you can use your humidifier as normal while you’re at home, and leave it behind when it’s time to hit the road!
Once you’ve arrived, even if the voltage is different from home it isn’t a problem – the Dreamstation works with the Medistrom Pilot-12 battery (available separately).
It’s made to be small and lightweight enough to go with you anywhere, yet carries enough charge for up to two full nights’ sleep.
The DreamStation does most of the work for you. The DreamStation is auto-titrating, meaning it will automatically adjust according to your breathing instead of being set to one fixed pressure setting. That means better therapy with no extra work.
What’s more, you can monitor your sleep therapy with DreamMapper! Simply track your sleep data at home, making this CPAP convenient and easy-to-use.

This app is available in Android and IOS.
The DreamStation also allows your respiratory therapist to remote connect to your device.
So never fear, even if you take your machine around the globe, Apnea Health will always have your back.

The AirFit N20 makes fit issues a thing of the past.
With its soft and flexible frame, plush straps and unique cushion technology it can adjust to fit any face perfectly.
This mask is crazy comfortable! It’s built to be super lightweight with minimal structure and nothing getting in your line of sight, making it easy to forget you even have it on.
AirFit N20
AirFit N20 for her
Key Features
InfinitySeal silicone cushion forms to your face and moves with you
Plush headgear won’t rub or chafe
Magnetic clips make getting it on and off a snap
Flexible fabric-lined frame for comfort and a clear field of view
Quick-release elbow to unplug and go
What exactly is InfinitySeal?
The ResMed AirFit N20 features a new technology called InfinitySeal – it’s a super-flexible, double-walled silicon cushion that adapts to the shape of your face. It features specially-designed “infinity” loops that change in thickness at different zones around the mask to reduce blowout and leakage, and give the mask the support it needs to stay in place.
The AirFit N20 also has a soft and flexible frame with built-in padding that moves with you when you shift around at night. The frame and the cushion work together to form to your face and stay comfortably in place all night.
The design is the result of over 3 years of research, and tests done around the globe (literally – they tested it in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia) show that the mask has about a 99% acceptance rate for people with faces of every shape and size.
How is it easier to get on and off?
Magnetic clips make the headgear easier to snap in place and remove, and there’s even a little lip built around the two clips to help guide each one in place. Even if you have limited finger dexterity, placing and fitting the mask is easy.
There’s also a quick-release elbow on the front to disconnect the air tube, a great option when you need to hop out of bed for a short time (whether that’s to go find your glasses or fumble your way for a late-night trip to the washroom).
Freedom and comfort
By getting rid of the “T” bar that blocks vision on other CPAP masks, ResMed has created a mask that feels open and airy – a great relief for those who get claustrophobic. It also gives you an unobstructed field of view, which is just plain smart. It gives you the freedom to comfortably read or watch TV, even with your mask on.
The modular design makes the mask and headgear easy to fit and clean, and the swivel connection on the hose means even the most active sleepers can easily flop from side to side and back again without getting kinks in the hose.
Is it really a fit for women?
When they tested the Airfit N20, they really meant they wanted it to work for any size. Women’s heads and men’s heads are definitely different (in size and shape – anything else is a debate for a different blog). To work for everyone, ResMed added a mask that’s designed just for women in the smaller size range, and even added distinctive lavender-coloured accents to the straps.
At Apnea Health, the N20 is overwhelmingly favoured by our patients. Most users love it for the ultra soft cushion, comfortable fit and ease of use.
Learn what folks are saying:
“After 9 years of CPAP use and multiple masks, nasal masks and nasal pillows, this is by far the absolute best mask I have ever worn! Easy and comfortable.”
“I have tried several masks through the past 5 yrs. Full face masks I struggled finding a mask that fit well enough and changing sleep positions was almost impossible. I had to deal with a lot of leakage issues. Nasal pillows seemed to be better but I had large red marks every morning and it seemed the pillow broke down quickly and changing positions was a problem. I just received my AirFit N20 and I can’t believe how comfortable it is, and various sleep positions don’t break the cushion seal. The magnets make for an easy and quick fit and hold without any sliding around. I have to wear a chin strap and a bite plate, and the N20 mask does not slide around. I breathe unrestricted, streams of air don’t blow out on me like some cushions and there are NO red marks on my face each morning! The flexible frame has integrated padding that is so soft I don’t feel it. I actually wake up forgetting I have any sleep gear on my face and head. I can’t stress what a difference this makes in my life. I highly recommend this mask and headgear.”
“This is the best mask I have used. It seals perfectly and is comfortable in whichever position I sleep. Easy to get on and off – I really like the magnets. No complaints from me.”
Ready for a new mask?
There is no time like the present to try it out and see for yourself the difference an upgraded mask can make. A better fit means better rest, and better energy during the day.
The comfort and ease of the AirFit N20 CPAP mask system make it a great fit for just about anyone, and you’ll be thrilled you made the change.
