can u get sick from cpap
Re: can u get sick from cpap
The Soclean does not replace soap and water cleaning. Even they admit that. Really, that machine is completely unnecessary. Many threads on this. But as mentioned earlier, I would suspect their cold has no relation to the usage of their machine.

Re: can u get sick from cpap
It has been determined that most "colds" are actually ALLERGIES.
Loratadine has reduced my Kleenex use by about 95%.
Considering the cost of cold remedies, tissues, and sick leave, an antihistamine can be a bargain.

Re: can u get sick from cpap
Your mask sits around. It collects anything. The hose from the machine sits around. If you dont sanitize it--you could get sick. Washing in a tub and hanging it to dry is rediculous. I am using the so clean machine. It cleans it from one end of the hose on the mask to the other end of the hose on the res-med machine. It cleans it with ozone. When I asked if you can get sick from your cpap. I did not mean the equipment. I meant from the air blowing all night. TY

Ahh.. yes... Everyone knows you get a cold from "cold" air blowing. Might want to get a heated hose...AMESS wrote: I did not mean the equipment. I meant from the air blowing all night.

Re: can u get sick from cpap
Amess, I'm curious to hear your opinion about what Marillion has stated for you several times. Do you only use soclean2 or do you clean with soap and water AND use the soclean2. Marillion has mentioned several times that soclean themselves admit that is not a replacement to conventional cleaning but supplemental to it. What do you say to that? Do you do both or just soclean?AMESS wrote:Your mask sits around. It collects anything. The hose from the machine sits around. If you dont sanitize it--you could get sick.

Re: can u get sick from cpap
I thought xpap manufactured special breathable air no? Isn't that what the issue is? We try to breath unbreathable air therefore xpap creates breatheable air for us to breath.

Re: can u get sick from cpap
But "regular air" isn't blowing, so a non-xPAP person is just sucking...Goofproof wrote:If you use XPAP do you breath in different air than if you don't use XPAP JimMaxINTJ wrote:Ahh.. yes...

Plus, "regular air" doesn't have to pass through the unsanitary conditions inside xPAP equipment. Come on Jim, haven't you been paying attention to Amess?
