CPAP Machines – Anti-Snoring Device
Certain types of CPAP have been found to release carcinogens a few years ago, and a TV show talked about this incident earlier. In the show, a user of this CPAP talked about him getting breast cancer after using the CPAP, and he suspects that the CPAP induced the cancer. We want to remind users to purchase CPAP devices from reliable suppliers. These suppliers should fulfil the following:
• Listed by the Department of Health as an Importer of Medical Devices
• Able to supply the Listed Medical Devices
• Recognized by manufacturers to be their authorized medical devices supplier and local responsible person (LRP)
• Able to provide proof of Authorization Certificates issued by manufacturers
• Received proper training from the manufacturer on medical devices and preventive and corrective maintenance
• Able to inform all medical device users in case of product recalls
Also, regardless of whether it’s a BMC CPAP, Sefam, or other brand, CPAP machines require regular cleaning, inspection, and maintenance to ensure normal operation and clean parts. Therefore, customers should also ensure that their suppliers have comprehensive after-sales and proper maintenance services to protect their health and well-being. We would also like to take this chance to remind our customers that we provide inspection services every 6 months to clean and disinfect their devices. After-sales services have always been our expertise and what distinguishes us from other countries.

CPAP Machine Introduction
Sleep apnea—when a person’s breathing becomes interrupted during sleep—has a long-term impact on health. Not only will it affect your sleep quality, but also that of your partner. In more serious cases, patients may experience hypoxia during sleep, which can affect heart and lung functions and may lead to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, or even death during sleep. Sleep apnea is often accompanied by loud snoring or even choking and gasping sounds. This could negatively affect the sleep quality of the patient’s partner, making it difficult for them to fall asleep or stay asleep. A sleep ventilator can treat sleep apnea while also acting as an efficient anti-snoring device.
HomeCare Medical offers a variety of sleep ventilators to relieve discomfort and act as anti-snoring solutions for those suffering from sleep apnea. The sleep ventilator passes through the nose and throat, and the mask provides continuous positive airway pressure to the patient’s respiratory tract. This prevents the patient from suffering from sleep apnea due to a narrow airway. Our anti-snoring sleep ventilators are medical devices and should be consulted before purchase and use.

Using CPAP as an anti-snoring solution
Those with sleep apnea have a predisposition to snoring as their airway is blocked periodically throughout the night. CPAP machines are often used as effective anti-snoring devices and a solution for those who are either themselves or have partners that are diagnosed with sleep apnea.

Frequently Asked Questions
In short, the machine provides a constant stream of pressurized the air through the nose and mask, pushing against any blockage in your airways so that your breathing will not be interrupted. As snoring is caused by obstructive breathing, by keeping the airways open, a CPAP machine can also effectively act as an anti-snoring device.
HomeCare Medical offers several options for anti-snoring CPAP machines, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. When choosing a CPAP machine, it is important to prioritize comfort and fit to prevent leakage and ensure better quality sleep. Make sure that the mask fits your facial features without being too tight or loose.
You should also consider the different features you want—such as a humidifier, adjustable air pressure, etc.—as well as the size of your CPAP machine. For instance, if you plan to travel with it, you may want to consider a designated travel-sized machine. If you need help with selecting the right anti-snoring device, feel free to get in touch with our team at HomeCare Medical, and we will be happy to assist.
CPAP is generally a safe, non-invasive, and effective anti-snoring device for individuals with sleep apnea. Some people may experience mild side effects like dry mouth, runny nose, and congestion when using a CPAP machine. However, these effects can often be avoided by choosing a CPAP machine with a built-in humidifier or using a chin strap.
Patients with sleep-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, need a CPAP machine to effectively treat and manage their condition. In some cases, individuals with certain respiratory issues are also encouraged to use the equipment to support their breathing.
The price range of CPAP machines varies in Hong Kong; they may cost between HKD 5,000 and HKD 15,000, depending on the model and features.
The lifespan of a CPAP machine typically ranges from three to five years. Avoid overusing and provide regular maintenance and proper care for the equipment to ensure it functions for as long as possible.
