I work at a DME as the cpap/bipap specialist and I've personally seen devices destroyed by the So-clean ozone cleaner. The most obvious problem is the seals get hard and stop sealing then sensors start going out like the ones related to the auto-on and auto-off modes. Machines might start turning off automatically at night or will need to manually have the machine turned on to start therapy rather than putting the mask on. We sent 2 off for repair under warranty. One was light enough on the damage that ResMed repaired it but the other one had extensive seal damage, corroded circuit boards, and pneumatic block damage. On the other hand, the only complaint I received concerning the Sleep 8 is that it wouldn't turn on unless they pushed it onto the port "really hard". Elderly patient so go figure.

The problem with the soclean is that it will void your warranty on your CPAP machine. Because the ozone residue gets on the motor inside your CPAP machine. Once they see that, they won't replace your CPAP machine. I don't understand why they never talk about that. I use the Sleep8 which would not void your warranty.

Steve R: No you don't. You can purchase the SoClean lid adapter for your Resmed and simply place the hose and face "assembly" into the SoClean and turn it on. The O3 will go into the water and through the inside of the hose. The main problem is the internal Resmed seals that, supposedly, get damage from the O3 which is why Resmed won't only the warranty if they determine that any of their machines were damage in that way.

I wouldn't think that you need to remove the coverings. They should be fine in there. Clean the supplies at least once per week.

Regarding the Sleep 8. You state in your video that you need a new bag every 3-6 months depending on the frequency of use. If using daily, 90 day change. Based on my understanding of how CO2 cleaning works, this logic seems sound. However it contradicts Sleep 8's official stance on the subject which is once you open the package the 90 day clock starts. I don't use the device daily and can't use it on my nasal cushions due to degradation. I use weekly on every thing else. No one from Sleep 8 has been able to provide a logical explanation on how the EFFICACY of this filter bag changes when it's simply removed from it's packaging. How did you come to your conclusion about the filter bag change cycles for the Sleep 8? Thanks for the video and hopefully a long awaited answer🤔

I've been using a CPAP for around 15 years. Rarely do I clean the parts. Never had a problem. I live in an arid climate so mold is not an issue and I don't use a humidifier. I've had 3 Remstar, one of them being recalled. I've been using my backup that wasn't recalled and finally decided to buy a Resmed and because the humidifier is built-in started using the humidifier. Now I'm looking into cleaners and after watching this I think I'll just start using wipes. All bacteria is not bad and why do we think this is going fix things? I use a whole room cleaner that has to have it's filters changed about once ever 6 mo. Bottom line, none of these machines clean the CPAP, just the hose and mask. Ozone is not a good substance, and not sure how much of the UV light will get inside the tube.

I never saw the deterioration spoken of, but I did quit using the SoClean2. I recently bought the Liviliti Paptizer, using it for the first time tonight, but this video makes me think I wasted a couple hundred dollars if the SoClean2 won't cause my CPAP to be unsafe.

I am so reluctant to get another So Clean. On my third one already. Their warranty is good, but the door hinge broke within a year on my first one, then the replacement one broke within a few months despite......despite me being SUPER careful closing the lid each and every time. The third one broke again and I am meticulously careful with it when closing and opening the lid. I was so frustrated that I decided not to even contact them the third time since it broke so quickly. I just put the lid on and place a heavy weight on it to make sure it seals all the way around. No leakage or anything, but makes me concerned to get their So Clean 3 unit. I am not convinced that they have fixed their weak hinges. Has anyone else had this issue or have I gotten 3 defective units in a row? P.S. I have a Resmed Airsense 10, so the hose is nothing crazy or abnormally sized.

I use a SoClean2 with my Dream Station 1. The SoClean circulates ozone through the water that is in the water chamber. I don't think it has any effect on the dryness of the chamber area, although if the water chamber is over-filled, it could blow over the top of the chamber during the first step of cleaning. During the first five minutes of using the SoClean, the black tube that extends into the water chamber "bubbles". The machine buzzes fairly loudly and the light is red. After five minutes it stops buzzing and bubbling and the machine continues to quietly clean for the remainder of two hours. During this time the light is yellow. When it's ready to open and your mask & hose are clean, the light is green. I have been using the Dream Station and SoClean2 for five years and I love them both. It's time for a new CPAP machine and I am sad it can't be another DS1. The DS2 does not get great reviews. I don't put my water chamber in the dishwasher because it seems to wear it out sooner. When it wears out, it gets cracks around the metal plate which leak. That would drip water into the space and possibly cause dampness. IMHO

Personally, and with my background as a biologist, I don't support any of the products you are reviewing/peddling. In my view, the best way to clean CPAP equipment is the more time consuming, old-fashioned way. First, wash the equipment, hose, mask and humidifier in warm water with Dawn; use a hose brush to clean the inside of the hose; rinse completely and then use the Hurricane CPAP dryer to dry the mask, humidifier and the hose. The Hurricane dryer has a built-in attachment for the hose. Your product review makes no mention of how they remove the grease from your face or how they clean mucous, saliva, etc. from your mask. The old-fashioned way i describe above does all that and more. Yes, it is more time-consuming but, as the saying goes, 'you reap what you sow'.

The instruction for my CPAP machine says using ozone cleaners voids the warranty

@CPAPmyway

Yes that is something to consider. Any Ozone CPAP Cleaner that integrates into your CPAP can cause internal corrosion and will probably shorten the life of the CPAP. There are Ozone cleaners (like the sleep8) that do not allow Ozone into the CPAP at all.

@@CPAPmyway If you do, I am interested in knowing if they have improved/fixed their weak door hinge issues. I am honestly SHOCKED that this hasn't been addressed. I am on my 3rd SoClean 2 machine in 4 years because the hinges kept breaking. The cover/lid is literally being held in place with two tiny pieces of plastic that is about the size of (width and thickness) of a popsicle stick. Even being meticulously careful, gentle with placing in the hose and headgear and opening and closing the lid, one of the hinges broke on all 3 units. I am using it correctly and super carefully. I do not place it in a place where sun can hit it......which would weaken plastic over time. This HAS to be a known issue. It doesn't seem possible that I just happened to get the only 3 units in the World that had this issue.

I don't understand why the inability of a CPAP cleaning device to blow ozone into the machine itself is a good thing. If you clean every other part of the system, but don't clean the inside of the air pump, that's like never cleaning the inside of your furnace and air ducts of your home. I understand that ozone isn't good to breathe and therefore you would not want a machine to leave ozone in your air pump, but what is wrong with a system that would blow ozone into the air pump (maybe while the air pump is running) and then run ordinary household air through it to "rinse" out the ozone. I would do that in my garage, for instance: Once a week, I'd just put the cpap and the cleaning machine in a plastic tote, bring them out to my workbench in the garage, let them do their ozone thing and expel that ozone into the garage, and bring them back into the house knowing all parts of my machine are clean.

Ozone is corrosive and would eventually cause damage to parts inside of the CPAP after long term use. Those parts are not easily replaced and that is why most manufacturers are asking cpap users not to run Ozone inside of their CPAPs.

Nothing at all. Soap and water is recommended by most manufacturers. However, the CPAP cleaners are the same concept as a dishwasher to us. No issue cleaning dishes with soap and water, but I can't imagine life without my dishwasher.

We seem to have great feedback on both the Liviliti and the Sleep8. Both are very different on the pros and cons, so you would have to see which suited your needs best. Agreed on the Chinese lab trust, but it is all that we had.

Hi Very informative about the CPAP cleaners. However, I was warned about using any of these cleaners by my doctor. Also, friends who are currently using their CPAC machines were also warned by their doctor. These machines are very hazardous to your health. They do not clean efficiently or get rid of bacteria etc. The best method is warm water and mild soap, soak for 30 minutes, use a towel for excess moisture and hang on a clothesline, no direct sun. WEEKLY clean your humidifier in 3 parts warm water to 1 part white vinegar for sterilization once a week. DAILY you need to clean your humidifier, air tubing, and mask cushion with warm soapy water and air dry on a towel. You do not want to breath bacteria, mold etc. This can cause havoc with your respiratory system. Their is no easy way. You need to clean everything DAILY and WEEKLY thoroughly. Their is no easy way or method. When it comes to your health, their are no shortcuts. Your health is priceless!! In health!!😊 PS: Thank you for all your informative videos on KZread. I learned alot about the different masks. How to adjust them, air leaks, advantages and disadvantages.

My question is why don't you talk about each manf. instructions about cleaning? Do they say you need these machines? Because I manually clean my mask hose and humidifier bowl in a tub with hot water, Dawn, and an ounce or two of bleach and let it soak a couple hours and then dry. No problems and it's what all of you should be doing instead of listening to this propaganda and trying to get you to spend your money.

I completely understand the sentiment. However, bleach is never recommended by anyone. Light soap and water or light vinegar and water. The cleaners are there to help simplify the process, and are not necessary. Much like a dishwasher.
