Is sterile irrigation water safe to use in CPAP machine?

That depends on how the water was sterilized. The thing you want to avoid is dissolved minerals, which can build up in the humidifier of the CPAP. Distilled water is recommended because dissolved minerals cannot cross the distillation process. Other forms of "purification" such as filtering or semi-permeable membranes can leave minerals dissolved in the water.Products sold as "Sterile water" (especially for contact lenses) are frequently sterile saline solution, and should NOT be used in a CPAP.
