Abstract
Currently, evidence-based guidelines about cleaning positive airway pressure devices for maintenance or reprocessing for a new user do not exist. There is no strong evidence of harm caused by contaminated positive airway pressure equipment. Future research opportunities exist to streamline cleaning processes, assure hygiene, and reduce waste.
