Do I need a medical prescription to order online?

No medical prescription is required to purchase masks or accessories. However, a prescription is needed to purchase or renew a CPAP machine. If you are already a Biron client and we have a prescription in your file, you do not need to send it to us again. However, if you have never bought anything from Biron, a valid medical prescription is required.

Will my insurance company reimburse me for my online purchases?

Reimbursement conditions vary with insurance policies. We recommend that you look into this, in advance, with your insurance company. The purchase receipt (invoice) will be included with your order when it is delivered. You can send it to your insurance company to ask for reimbursement.

What is the warranty period for products purchased through the online store?

The warranty period for equipment purchased through the online store is provided in “Online Terms and Conditions of Sale”, under “Warranty”.

How often do you recommend that we replace masks and accessories?

To limit bacterial and fungal growth on your equipment and optimize your comfort, we recommend you follow the manufacturer's recommendations as shown in the table below.

How often do you recommend that I replace my CPAP machine?

Despite proper maintenance and regular replacement of accessories, the average lifespan of a CPAP device is 5 years. That's why most insurance companies allow CPAP devices to be renewed after this period. The accumulation of dust and debris inside the turbine could affect the performance of your device, altering the pressure delivered and making it noisier. Renewing your CPAP device every 5 years ensures optimal treatment of your sleep apnea. You'll also benefit from new technologies, improved comfort settings and exclusive treatment monitoring applications.

Who should I contact if there are any problems with my mask or my device?

If you have any difficulties with your device or equipment, you can chat with a respiratory therapist, Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. or contact our customer service at 1 833 590-2715.

Will my insurance company reimburse me for comfort products, such as special pillows and tube supports?

Many insurance companies do provide reimbursement for the costs of these accessories. However, we recommend that you check with your insurer before making any purchases.

What is the best way of choosing my mask?

If you are starting continuous positive airway pressure treatment, we recommend that you consult a respiratory therapist, in person or by teleconsultation, to get personalized advice on which mask model best suits your needs. If you are replacing your accessories and find your current mask comfortable, we usually recommend that you keep the same model. 

What is the difference between a nasal pillow mask, a nasal mask and a full-face mask?

• Nasal pillow mask: Light and compact, this mask has small tips which fit directly into the nostrils. It is ideal for people who are claustrophobic or have a beard/mustache. However, it is not recommended for people who require high air pressure (> 12 cm H20).
  Recommended nasal pillow mask models in this category: Airfit P30i, Airfit P10, DreamWear Nasal.
• Nasal mask: This is the most popular model and it has a silicon or memory foam cushion surrounding the nose. It offers excellent stability and feels more natural, particularly when air pressure is higher.  
  Recommended nasal mask models: Eson2, Airfit N20, DreamWear Nasal
• Full-face (or oronasal) mask: This model is only recommended for patients who breathe through their mouths because of conditions like chronic sinusitis, allergies or a deviated septum. In some cases, a full-face mask may require higher air pressure to treat sleep apnea. If you have any concerns, it is usually preferable to start with a nasal pillow mask or a nasal mask, because the air filtration and humidity provided by those models usually make it easier to breathe through your nose. For personalized advice, talk to one of our respiratory therapists.
  Recommended full-face mask models: Airfit F20, Vitera (stability), DreamWear Facial (minimalist design).

What is the best way to choose my machine?

Your choice of machine depends on many factors. All models have essential features such as a heated humidifier, reduced expiratory pressure and automatic uploading of usage data. Our respiratory therapists are trained to recommend the machine that best suits you, based on your circumstances and special needs.  

What type of water should I use in my machine?

To limit growth of bacteria and other microorganisms inside the tank, we recommend that you only use distilled or demineralized water, and that you replace it every day. To learn more, see our full article on this subject: water type choice cpap device Biron's article

How should I properly maintain my equipment?

The mask, tubing, tank and filter need to be cleaned once a week. See the manufacturers’ maintenance videos to learn about the special features of your machine.
