Medutek 6ft Standard CPAP Tube 19mm โ Overview
The Medutek 6ft Standard CPAP Tube (19mm) is a universal replacement CPAP hose designed to work with virtually any CPAP or BiPAP machine that accepts a standard 22mm connection โ including ResMed, Philips Respironics, Fisher & Paykel, BMC, and all other mainstream CPAP brands. With a 19mm inner diameter and 22mm cuff connections at both ends, it matches the industry-standard hose diameter that shipped with almost every CPAP machine manufactured before the shift to proprietary slim-tube formats, making it the most universally compatible option available.
The 19mm standard hose is the right choice for patients who need a reliable, straightforward replacement tube without compatibility concerns โ if your machine has a standard round CPAP outlet and your current tube has 22mm cuffs at both ends, this tube will work. It is also the preferred option for patients who find 15mm slim tubes restrict their airflow sensation, or who use older CPAP machines that do not support the 15mm diameter setting. The Medutek tube is latex-free, smooth bore, and at 6 feet (1.83m) provides the standard reach from machine to bedside to mask without excess length to manage.
This is a non-heated standard tube โ it does not contain a heating element. Patients using a heated humidifier in a cold, air-conditioned bedroom may experience rainout. If rainout is an issue, a tubing wrap or an appropriate brand-specific heated tube is recommended. For patients using CPAP without humidification, or in warm ambient conditions where rainout is not a problem, the Medutek 19mm tube is a reliable, cost-effective everyday replacement. Replace every 3โ6 months. Hand wash weekly.

๐ก 19mm vs 15mm: The 19mm is the traditional CPAP tube diameter โ universally compatible with all machines and masks. The 15mm slim tube is lighter but requires a machine that supports 15mm tubing (with a menu setting to change tube diameter). If you're unsure which diameter your machine accepts, 19mm will always fit and function correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this tube fit my AirSense 10 or AirSense 11?
A 22mm standard hose will physically connect to the AirSense 10 and AirSense 11 machines. However, ResMed recommends 15mm tubing for their modern AirSense machines โ a 19mm hose connected to these machines will still deliver therapy, but without the pressure compensation that a 15mm tube with the smart-fit cuff provides. For AirSense 10/11, the ResMed SlimLine tube is the better choice.
Can I use this tube with a heated humidifier?
Yes โ this tube connects to humidifier-equipped machines. Being non-heated, warm humidified air travelling through it in a cold room can cause rainout. A tubing wrap or brand-specific heated tube is the solution if rainout occurs.
How often should I replace this tube?
Every 3โ6 months. Replace sooner if you notice discolouration, persistent odour after cleaning, or visible cracks. CPAP tubing harbours bacteria and mould over time โ regular replacement is important for hygiene and therapy quality.
What is the difference between the 19mm and 15mm Medutek tube?
The 19mm is the standard universal diameter โ works with all machines without any settings change. The 15mm tube is lighter and produces less mask drag but requires a machine that supports 15mm tubing with a diameter setting in the menu.
