How long do CPAP/BIPAP machines last?
There is no set time how long your machine will last. They usually last 7-8 years but it all depends on how the machine is maintained. If the machine is maintained properly, (i.e. replacing/cleaning filters, changing supplies every 6-12 months) some machines have been known to last 12-14 years. Your machine typically has a 2 year warranty from the date you were setup with the equipment. Check with your provider as manufacturers may have different guidelines. Check with your insurance to see what their replacement policies are. Your insurance company may pay for a replacement if your machine is broken or it is no longer made.
