What is a CPAP Machine?

A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine treats sleep apnea by delivering a steady stream of pressurized air through a mask. This keeps the airway open, prevents pauses in breathing and snoring, and helps users get deeper, healthier sleep.

  1. Air Intake & Filtration The CPAP machine begins by drawing in air from the surrounding environment. Before the air reaches the user, it passes through a built-in filtration system designed to remove dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. This filtration ensures that the air delivered is clean and safe, an important feature for individuals with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to environmental irritants. 
  2. Pressure Generation Once the air is filtered, the machine generates the level of air pressure prescribed by a sleep specialist, based on the results of a sleep study. This pressure setting is customized to the individual’s condition, ensuring that it is strong enough to keep the airway open but gentle enough for comfort. 
  3. Airway Support The pressurized air is then delivered through a flexible hose connected to a mask that covers the nose, mouth, or both, depending on the user’s needs. This steady flow of air acts as a pneumatic splint, keeping the throat tissues and airway passages open. As a result, breathing becomes smoother and uninterrupted, reducing snoring and eliminating apnea events. 

Did You Know?
Modern CPAP machines are whisper-quiet (under 26dB), about as loud as a gentle whisper, and many include smart features like automatic pressure adjustment and sleep data tracking.

How does a CPAP machine work and why is it
effective for sleep apnea?

A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine works by delivering a steady stream of pressurized air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep. This airflow prevents the airway from collapsing — an issue that characterizes obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The air pressure is either set to a fixed level or adjusts automatically based on the patient’s breathing patterns, depending on the machine type.

This mechanism directly counters the repeated interruptions in breathing that cause oxygen drops and sleep fragmentation. In the study “Long-term CPAP compliance and its effect on OSA outcomes” published in Respiratory Medicine, patients using CPAP consistently showed improvements in sleep quality, reduced daytime fatigue, and a marked decrease in the risk of cardiovascular complications. The effectiveness of CPAP therapy is especially pronounced in moderate to severe OSA, where untreated symptoms can lead to chronic health issues.

The combination of mechanical airflow support, customizable pressure settings, and humidity control makes CPAP therapy one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for sleep apnea.

How does a CPAP machine work

A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine works by delivering a constant stream of air through a mask worn over your nose, mouth, or both. This steady airflow keeps your upper airway open during sleep, preventing pauses in breathing caused by obstructive sleep apnea. The BeC CPAP adjusts airflow automatically to your breathing patterns throughout the night. By maintaining airway pressure, the device helps eliminate snoring, reduces nighttime awakenings, and improves oxygen levels. Over time, regular CPAP use can enhance energy, focus, heart health, and overall sleep quality. It’s a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment for sleep apnea.

Does OHIP cover sleep apnea machines?

In Ontario, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) itself does not directly cover sleep apnea machines. However, the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) provides funding for CPAP machines prescribed for obstructive sleep apnea. To qualify, patients must undergo a sleep study and receive a formal diagnosis. If eligible, ADP will cover the cost for the CPAP. Devices must be purchased through an ADP-authorized vendor. Currently the BeC F20A CPAP is covered by ADP under #PS0002189

Are Sleep Apnea Machines Covered by Insurance?

Most private health insurance plans in Canada offer partial or full coverage for CPAP machines, supplies, and accessories if prescribed for sleep apnea. Coverage typically includes the machine, mask, tubing, filters, and humidifier. A diagnostic sleep study and a physician’s prescription are usually required for reimbursement. Each plan is different—some may cover a rental trial period before purchase, others may reimburse after proof of usage compliance. Contact your insurer to confirm specific eligibility, required documentation, and any pre-authorization steps. The BeC CPAP is eligible for reimbursement under most plans with proper documentation.

Can a CPAP machine make sleep apnea worse?

When used properly, a CPAP machine does not make sleep apnea worse—it’s the gold standard treatment. However, if the machine is set to the wrong pressure, has a poor-fitting mask, or is used inconsistently, it may feel uncomfortable or ineffective. Rarely, people with central sleep apnea (where the brain fails to signal the body to breathe) may experience worsened symptoms if using a standard CPAP without proper diagnosis.

Does CPAP machine help with sleep apnea?

Yes, a CPAP machine is the most effective non-surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It delivers a steady stream of air through a mask, keeping the airway open during sleep and preventing breathing interruptions. By reducing apneas and hypopneas, CPAP therapy helps improve sleep quality, reduce daytime fatigue, and lower risks of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Most users experience better rest, improved focus, and fewer nighttime awakenings within days or weeks. Consistent nightly use is essential for long-term benefits. The BeC CPAP is designed for comfort and ease, helping users manage sleep apnea effectively and safely.

How much does a cpap machine cost?

Typically a CPAP machine costs between $1500 and $3,000, depending on features like humidifiers, auto-adjusting pressure, and data tracking. Additional costs may include masks, filters, and tubing. BeC provides affordable, feature rich CPAP’s for as little as $1,199.

How often should you replace CPAP parts (mask, tubing, filters)?

To keep your CPAP therapy effective and hygienic, it’s important to replace parts regularly. Most manufacturers and sleep specialists recommend:

  • Mask cushion or nasal pillows: every 2–4 weeks (they wear out quickly and can lose their seal).
  • Mask frame and headgear: every 6 months.
  • Tubing: every 3–6 months.
  • Filters: disposable filters every 2–4 weeks; reusable filters every 6 months.
  • Water chamber (humidifier): every 6 months.

Replacing parts on schedule helps prevent air leaks, keeps the machine sanitary, and ensures you continue to receive the right air pressure for effective sleep apnea therapy.
