The vent to room air even with a hepa filter is a tiny bit concerning, anyone present should be aware of the risk.
In a hospital, exhaust is (usually) sent to the scavenger for additional filtering and safer output area.

That is why you don't use a CPAP at home with anyone else present because it will aerosolize any infection.
- bowmessage 7y agoWhat is one supposed to do if they need a CPAP to sleep and live with a loved one?
- johnchristopher 7y agoI sleep on the sofa, or in the guest's room.

- gus_massa 7y agoIs it possible to filter it, or bubble it though a chlorine solution, or something?
- emilfihlman 7y ago>bubble it though a chlorine solution Yeah, and it's not even hard to add to this.
- burfog 7y agoRun it through a hair dryer set to maximum heat.
- mdon 7y agoSurely some context is missing here. One of the use-cases for a cpap is reducing your own snoring for your bed partner.
- fortran77 7y agoThey allow CPAP on airplanes. If it can really aerosolize infectious agents, then this is an outrage, and these should be banned from airplanes immediately.
