These are the Filters for both the Drive DeVilbiss Sleep Cube (called IntelliPAP in the USA) and their new DeVilbiss Blue range of machines.  There are 2 types of Filters as follows:-

Black Foam Air Inlet Filters

The Washable Air Inlet Filters are a vital part of the machine to keep out dust and ensure the machine operates correctly.  These filters need washing every 2 weeks and replacing with a new one every 3 months.  4 Filters are supplied and go on the outside of the white filter.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Due to Drive DeVilbiss themselves having been out of stock for such a long time of the filters that patients needed to replace, we sourced some compatible filters from AG Industries who are a filter manufacture and actually make filters for some of the CPAP manufacturers, so we trust them. Therefore, for the Black Foam Filters there is now the choice of either the branded Drive DeVilbiss Filters or the excellent quality AG Filters which are a little cheaper.

White Fine Particle Air Filters

IMPORTANT NOTE - Due to Drive DeVilbiss themselves having been out of stock for such a long time of the filters that patients needed to replace, we sourced some compatible filters from AG Industries who are a filter manufacture and actually make filters for some of the CPAP manufacturers, so we trust them. Therefore, for the White Fine Particle Disposable Air Filters there is now the choice of either the branded Drive DeVilbiss Filters or the excellent quality AG Filters which are a little cheaper.

The Disposable White Fine Particle Filters are particularly helpful for blocking pollen and small particles etc., and need replacing every 30 days (or sooner if you can see dirt on them).  4 Filters are supplied and these go underneath the foam filters nearest to the machine.

For illustrations purposes only to help you identify your machine, below are the compatible Drive DeVilbiss Sleep Cube and new 'Blue' Machines:-

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

It has been alarmingly brought to our attention that some patients have been buying cheap filters from Ebay, Amazon and some other sellers. Please be very careful because we have had reports of the filters breaking down, not being the right size, but more worrying is that is has been noticed a feeling of less CPAP pressure and some people who use pulse oximeters at night have discovered low oxygen when using them. It's impossible for us to know which filters are safe just by looking at them, so as a precaution they are best avoided for safety. This is why we only sell the ones the manufacturers supply or from reputable companies like AG Industries. If you have been given any unbranded filters from your hospital, you can rest-assured they will have been approved as safe and efficient.

ORDERS

Shipping

We try our best to ship all orders received by us Monday-Friday on the same working day if received before 12 noon, and more often than not orders processed before 3pm will be despatched the same day whenever possible.  Weekend or UK bank holiday orders are sent out the next working day.  An automated email is sent when products have been despatched so please check your spam box and add us to your safe senders list.  Also, if you do not receive an email confirmation, please check that you have typed the correct email address in your account.

All orders are sent via 1st class mail within the UK.  Masks and some other more expensive products are always sent via 'signed for' insured delivery and cannot be left in 'safe' places, but there is the option for an alternative shipping address when processing the orders. 

Delivery charges are worked out automatically by weight and you can clearly see the delivery charges before making a payment.  On the rare occasion delivery charges are miscalculated by the website, a refund will be sent, as it is not our policy to make money on postage charges and neither do we add the cost of delivery into the price and offer so-called  'free delivery' like some sites and Ebay pressurise sellers to do! 

Wherever possible with larger parcels, we try to re-use boxes to keep shipping costs down and protect the environment.

If a product is out of stock and the order contains multiple items, the 'in stock' items will be sent immediately and further items will follow upon arrival with no further postage charges incurred.  

Important for International Orders

We can ship most products internationally, but all prices are in UK British Pounds and if paying by debit or credit card the bank will automatically convert to the current conversation rate.  Likewise, if you choose the Paypal option, they will convert into your currency for you as payment is made.  

International orders are sent via tracked Airmail, and whilst we're happy to ship internationally, we cannot be held responsible for any delays at Customs at your end, or charges that may be added in your own country, such as customs fees and import tax on delivery, which are determined by your country’s import laws and are beyond our control. Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to pay these charges, and certain courier companies will not be able to deliver the goods to you without pre-payment of any charges. From our experience, it appears to be randomised as to which parcels incur extra charges, but please know that all accompanying paperwork is filled in correctly when shipping and there is nothing more we can do, as much as we'd like to.

If you purchase from us out of the UK or you move to another country after purchasing products, please be aware that the warranty for CPAP machines, masks and parts from the manufacturers are under warranty  with the manufacturer based in the UK, so you will be responsible for sending the product back to us and will need to pay postage to get the product back to you after exchange or repair, as the manufacturer will not pay for shipping in any country outside of the UK.

RETURNS

Masks, CPAP machines and and most other products are exempt from a refund or exchange unless faulty due to health and hygiene issues - as stated in our 'Terms and Conditions', and in particular due to the risk of cross contamination as they cannot be re-sold. The Consumer Contracts Regulations 28.(3)(a) confirms exemption as follows:-  "exemption in the case of a contract for the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery."

Unopened (sealed) products in their original packing can be returned within 14 days for a refund of the product cost, but the purchaser is to pay the return postage, and we would advise retaining proof of postage. This excludes any faulty goods, for which postage will be reimbursed.  A full refund for the price of the product will be issued when received by us, less the original postage charges when the order was sent to you.

2. "The goods or services are for the personal or domestic use of the customer."

Please note, you do not need to be registered as disabled or in receipt of any other benefits in order to be eligible for VAT relief - you only need to meet the criteria of the above 2 points.

We cannot advise on individual cases, but more information can be found on HMRC’s website under notice 701/7 on the following link  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-7017-vat-reliefs-for-disabled-people.

If you are purchasing on behalf of someone else who meets the above criteria, you must provide their name and address, and you will be prompted of this during the checkout process.

Customers living outside of the UK do not pay UK VAT charges, so please leave the the VAT Relief box ticked.  However, we cannot be held responsible for any additional costs incurred when the products reach your own country.

If you are purchasing with the intention of re-selling any products, you are liable to pay VAT on all products so you must untick the 'zero rate eligibility' box which will add VAT to your order.

Any products that our not eligible for zero rate VAT, will not display the VAT Declaration, and VAT will be added at checkout.
