The SoClean will work with most CPAP machines. Please check the compatibility chart. The SoClean will work with most CPAP masks. There are only a few full size masks that will not fit in the SoClean.

There is not maintenance but the filter and check valve need to be changed every six months of normal daily use. The filter and check valve come together in a kit.

The SoClean makes activated oxygen (Ozone) and circulates the gas through your machine, humidifier, hose and mask to destroy pathogens.valve come together in a kit.

Activated oxygen is a three atom oxygen molecule. This three atom molecule is a colourless gas with powerful oxidizing properties, formed from oxygen by electrical discharges or ultraviolet light. It differs from normal oxygen (O2) but over time or with forced filtration, will break back down to normal oxygen (O2) that we breathe.

There is good ozone and there is bad ozone. Most commonly used is bad ozone which is linked to high ozone alerts or smog. This kind of ozone is mixed with toxic gases that can be breathed in. Good ozone is found in our upper atmosphere or you may smell the essence of ozone after a thunderstorm.

Activated oxygen (ozone) is known as one of the best and most effective means to natural disinfection. This process is commonly used in array of applications such as public water filtration, fruit and vegetable handling, hotel housekeeping, and hospital disinfection. O3 can be neutralized and is safe.

The great thing about the SoClean is, once you have it set up, you can leave it until you have to replace your CPAP hose. In some cases when used with a heated hose adapter, you may have to disconnect the water chamber to fill with water.

The SoClean runs 5-12 minutes to prime with activated oxygen. It comes preset at 7 minutes. If you are running your CPAP machine with no water or no humidifier, then you can reduce the time. If you are experiencing the smell of oxidation, you may increase cleaning time to 12 minutes for a few weeks. The cycle will take approximately 2 and ½ hours to complete.

Your CPAP equipment is completely sanitized every time you use the SoClean. However, the SoClean will not remove facial oils or dust or other foreign materials. You should hand wash your CPAP equipment with the pre-wash solutions when needed.

It is better to run the SoClean when your CPAP mask is completely dry.

You can refill your reservoir before or after use with the SoClean.

It is your decision; however, every time you run the SoClean with your adaptor, you are sanitizing the water in the humidifier.

What you smell is not ozone; the equipment is being oxidized with activated oxygen, and that is what you smell – it is completely safe. You can lessen the smell by making sure you use the neutralizing pre-wash. You can increase the cleaning time to 12 minutes for a few weeks, then decrease to 7 minutes or you can blow air from your CPAP through your tube and mask in a controlled manner before using it. Do not use fragrance wipes or any fragrance products to clean you CPAP equipment, as this will intensify the smell.

The neutralizing pre-wash is intended before to the first use of your SoClean. The pre-wash is a color and fragrance-free hypoallergenic cleaning solution that will neutralize any odors or colors from detergents to reduce discoloration.

Preferably the SoClean cleaner and sanitizer should be level with your CPAP so the flow is easier, but you can put it on a shelf below your CPAP. You will have enough hose length. If you do put it below your CPAP unit, we ask that you periodically look at the check valve assembly to make sure there is no water in the clear tube, as this can harm you SoClean unit. If you do see water, you should replace the check valve assembly.

If you have water in your reservoir, the tube needs to be submerged in order to get the activated oxygen to clean the water. However, you can also run the SoClean with a dry chamber.

The small hose will have little impact on your CPAP machine air pressure. a heated hose adapter may make daily operation easier.

The warranty for the SoClean is two years. In our testing the SoClean was simulated to run for over 5 years with no issues.

Yes. Once every six months or so (depending on run times), the check valve and the filter need to be replaced. The machine is programmed to tell you when this is required.

The SoClean is designed to stay connected to one CPAP machine. You can clean two CPAP machines; however, you will need to disconnect and reconnect your CPAP equipment.

Yes, the SoClean works with or without out a humidifier. If you do not use a humidifier, the SoClean will sanitize the CPAP hose, mask, and headgear.

The ozone concentration is up to 25PPM (parts per million).

Acrylics, polycarbonate and silicone, which are the primary materials of masks and reservoirs, are completely compatible with activated oxygen cleaning, and have stood up to the use of the SoClean. Please see the following statements from Resmed and then SoClean regarding policy changes to warranty.

Please make sure the SoClean lid is shut securely and that your CPAP cleaner and sanitizer is connected to the SoClean securely. Some ozone molecules may escape into the air, but they will be so dispersed in the volume of air in the room they will not pose a risk.

A heated hose is a CPAP hose that has an electrical connection on the end of it. It helps to increase humidification comfort and helps to prevent water collecting in your hose. Some brands and models that will need an adapter for SoClean to connect. The SoClean adapter allows many CPAP machines to maintain their heated hose functionality.
