I took my old cpap apart after I got the new one, they are very much not designed to be taken apart.

A foam filter is something that should be easy to replace. Lots of medical devices have parts easy to replace and clean.

It's probably more to do with the fact that dicking around with them can cause adverse effects on the user, they are medical devices after all.

They can be taken apart by them. My wife just got her new machine and had to return the old one for "refurbishment".
