Yes, a valid CPAP prescription is required to purchase a CPAP, APAP, or BiPAP machine. If we do not already have your prescription on file, please email your prescription to info@cpapoutlet.ca or have it faxed to 1-855-571-7634 along with your order number. If a valid prescription is not provided your order may be canceled. Note that a prescription is not necessary for CPAP masks, parts, or accessories.

If you need a prescription for CPAP equipment, you have several options for obtaining one. In Canada, regulations state that anyone prescribing CPAP must be licensed to practice medicine within the country. The following professionals are authorized to prescribe CPAP equipment:

• Medical Doctors
• Doctors of Osteopathy
• Dentists
• Naturopathic Physicians
• Nurse Practitioners
• Physician Assistants
• Psychiatrists

While any of these practitioners can write a CPAP prescription, it’s always best to have a sleep study done and obtain the prescription from a sleep specialist. This ensures that your treatment is tailored to your specific needs and condition

Choosing a new mask can be challenging because it’s highly subjective, and fit and comfort can vary greatly from person to person. However, there are some guidelines that can help you make the right choice. For example, if you're a mouth breather or suffer from nasal congestion, a full face mask may be the best option for you. On the other hand, if you have facial hair, a full face mask may be difficult to fit properly without leakage, as the silicone seal struggles to make contact with facial hair. In that case, a nasal mask or nasal pillow mask, combined with a chin strap, might be a better fit.

Another factor to consider is your sleeping position. If you tend to toss and turn, a nasal pillow mask may be more suitable because it provides the best seal for active sleepers, especially side and stomach sleepers.

Additionally, most masks on the market connect to the CPAP hose from the front, which may bother some users or get in the way. There are masks that connect the tubing from the top of the head, allowing the hose to swivel and stay out of the way as you move during the night. An example of this type of mask is the ResMed AirFit P30i. We suggest visiting your local CPAP store to try on demo masks, allowing you to assess size and comfort.

Some CPAP masks come with a sizing guide to help you choose the right size. Click on the mask to see if a printable sizing guide is available. Other masks are available as fit packs with multiple sizes of cushions included and do not have size guides available. We suggest visiting your local CPAP store to try on demo masks, allowing you to assess size and comfort. Please note that once a mask has been opened, it cannot be returned for a refund or exchange.

There are 3 common types of masks: Full Face, Nasal and Nasal Pillow. Less common types include Oral and Total Face masks.

Full Face Masks

Full face masks cover both the nose and mouth, making them ideal for people who naturally breathe through their mouths or have chronic sinus issues that make nasal breathing difficult. Additionally, these masks can feel more comfortable for some users, especially for those prescribed higher pressure, because they distribute the pressure more evenly, offering a smoother experience.

There are two styles of full face masks. The original style has a triangular shape, covering the bridge of the nose and sitting just below the bottom lip. An example of this style is the ResMed AirFit F20. The newer style, on the other hand, does not cover the nose or sit on the bridge but instead cradles the nostrils and seals just below the bottom lip. An example of this style is the ResMed AirFit F40.

Nasal Masks

There are two styles of nasal masks for CPAP therapy. The original style, such as the ResMed AirFit N20, covers the entire nose, sealing underneath the nostrils and resting on the bridge, with four-point headgear to keep it secure. The newer, more minimal nasal cradle style, like the ResMed AirFit N30, does not cover the bridge of the nose. Instead, it cradles the nostrils and features lighter, less intrusive headgear.

Nasal masks are ideal for those who primarily breathe through their nose while sleeping. They are also a good option for anyone seeking a lighter, less obtrusive alternative to a full face mask.

Nasal Pillow Masks

Nasal pillow masks are among the smallest and lightest CPAP masks available, making them an excellent choice for those who find larger masks bulky or feel claustrophobic. These masks feature soft silicone pillows that sit below the nose and are inserted just inside the nostrils to create an airtight seal, delivering pressurized air directly into the nose. Because the seal is formed at the base of the nostrils, nasal pillow masks are less likely to leak air, and their minimal design offers maximum comfort and freedom. An example of this type of mask is the ResMed AirFit P10.

Oral Masks

Designed for mouth breathers and those with chronic nasal congestion, oral CPAP masks deliver pressure solely through the mouth. They are suited to individuals who cannot breathe through their nose at all. An example of this type of mask is the Fisher & Paykel Oracle Mask.

Total Face Masks

These masks provide a full face coverage, from forehead to chin, with a perimeter seal that minimizes pressure points and red marks. They are ideal for users with facial hair, irregularities, or dentures. An example of this type of mask is the Respironics FitLife Total Face Mask.

If you experience mask leaks, check the fit of your mask, make sure it is properly positioned, and adjust the straps as needed. You may also consider trying a different mask style for a better fit.

Mask liners such as RemZzzs can also help to create a better seal, in addition to reducing irritation.

Regular cleaning is crucial for hygiene. Most manufacturers recommend daily cleaning of the mask and weekly cleaning of the humidifier and tubing with mild soap and water. Always follow the specific cleaning instructions in the user manual.

CPAP, APAP, and BiPAP machines carry a 3-year manufacturer warranty on the motor in Canada. If your machine malfunctions, please email us at info@cpapoutlet.ca or call us at 1-855-542-2727. You will need to provide the serial number, and we will contact the manufacturer to determine if the machine is still under warranty. If it is, we will issue you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.

Decisions regarding warranty claims are made solely at the discretion of the manufacturer. Please note that the customer is responsible for shipping the machine to our office. Repair or replacement of the malfunctioning machine may take up to 8 weeks or longer, depending on the manufacturer. CPAP Outlet does not offer trial or temporary machines during the RMA process.

We will do our best to expedite the process, but since the product is being returned to the manufacturer, we cannot guarantee warranty processing times. Manufacturers do not cover warranty claims for misuse or water damage. If misuse or water damage is determined to be the cause of the malfunction, you will have the option to have the machine returned to you (shipping costs will apply), have it repaired by the manufacturer (repair costs will be communicated before any repairs are made), or purchase a new machine at the current prices displayed on our website.
