Description
The React Health Stratus 5 HEPA Paper Filter is the rear-mounted HEPA filter for the Stratus 5 stationary oxygen concentrator. React Health schedules it plainly: the filter is changed every 10,000 hours of use and in between patients, and the unit ships with one fitted.
- 10,000-hour service interval – the maker's stated change schedule, plus a change between patients
- Rear-mounted cartridge – the filter sits at the back of the Stratus 5, in the housing shown in the photos
- One fitted from the factory – the concentrator comes with one HEPA filter, and this is its replacement
The Long-Life Filter at the Back of the Stratus 5
The Stratus 5 draws room air through two filters, and this HEPA paper filter is the fine stage that lives at the back of the unit. Its service life is long, 10,000 hours by the maker's schedule, which is why it is easy to forget entirely until a between-patient change or an hours check brings it due. When it does come due, there is no cleaning option, since paper HEPA media is replaced, not washed.
The product photos show the filter cartridge and where it mounts at the rear of the concentrator, which makes the swap a short job with the unit off and unplugged. Facilities running several Stratus 5 units keep these on the shelf against the between-patient rule, since that change cannot wait on a delivery. Track hours on the device, and let the schedule, not symptoms, drive the change.

Why This Filter Change Cannot Ride on Symptoms
A concentrator does not announce a loaded HEPA filter the way a mask announces a worn cushion, so the maker's hours-and-patients schedule is the only reliable trigger. Staying on it protects the sieve beds and compressor downstream, which are far costlier than the filter. For multi-unit facilities, shelf stock of this filter is what makes the between-patient rule practical.
- Schedule-driven protection – changing at 10,000 hours guards the concentrator's expensive internals
- Between-patient ready – stock on hand makes the required changeover change immediate
- Genuine Stratus part – the cartridge React Health builds for the Stratus 5 rear housing
- No cleaning guesswork – paper media is replaced outright, so the standard is unambiguous
Frequently Asked Questions
How often is this filter changed?
React Health schedules the Stratus 5 HEPA paper filter every 10,000 hours of use, and also in between patients. Whichever comes first is the trigger.
Can the HEPA filter be washed?
No, it is a paper filter and is replaced, not cleaned. The washable filter on the Stratus 5 is the sponge filter, a different part.
Where does it mount?
At the back of the Stratus 5, in the rear filter housing. The product photos show the cartridge and its mounting position.
Does the concentrator come with one?
Yes, the unit ships with one HEPA filter fitted. This listing is the replacement for when the schedule calls for a change.
Is this sold individually?
Yes, this listing is for one HEPA paper filter. Facilities that service multiple units often keep several on hand.
