Ultra-sonic cleaners

[archangle]

I really look to the day when a creative manufacturer will come up with a simple and affordable cpap mask cleaner. Based on available stuff, I do not think that day has yet came.

They sell them at Home Depot. They also clean dishes and silverware. I've been using mine for 10 years ago and it cleans my CPAP stuff really well. Mine is installed under the counter in my kitchen. It's even hooked up to the plumbing in my house.

How about soap and water

No running water where you live? That must be hard to live like that.

I already bought the So clean and honestly do not want to send it back.

From all of the ads I have been hearing on XM, there is a 30 day trial period. Try it, and if you like it, keep it. How you clean your cpap equipment is up to you. No one is going to come in and check on how you do it or don't do it. If and how you you clean your equipment is a personal choice. Everyone decides for their self how or if they want to do it. I use soap and water, but that is my personal choice, and it's nobody's business but my own. Well, except my wife who will let me know if I am not cleaning something right.

I agree with you to the point about "if you like it, keep it" Like the color, the noise or smell it makes, what? It does not clean and the company lies about this type of a device being used in hospitals. You have no way to judge if it is doing its job or not (unlike a hospital where they are required to run sterilization indicators weekly or daily depending on the application). Many people here say it might kill germs, it may kill germs, it might kill some germs, nobody can say it does kill germs. The Ozone sterilizers in hospitals cost over 100K and only sterilize a volume about 10 to 15 times larger than your Cpap equipment and they use O2 tanks to generate the ozone. Don't you think if a 300 dollar device would kill germs hospitals would use something that costs less than 100K and requires a O2 farm (that is what it is called they use so much o2) to process heat sensitive devices? The SoClean is a fools game.

I am a certified hospital Supply, Processing and Distribution Technician (this is where instruments and medical devices are sent to be cleaned and disinfected or sterilized) This is not where I work but the certification is required by my job.

Okie, sorry, I responded to your message but the bulk of my message was to dead or anyone else considering this thing.

I don't thing Dead is really looking for feedback. They have already said they are not sending it back.

I hear you and agree that how a person cleans their machine is up to them. I just want to make sure they know they are gambling with this device since there is no way to assure it is doing what it is saying, hell, it could be making things worse.

I also wonder if some are not simply SoClean reps setting themselves up to come back and tell us how great the machine is working for them.

Just to make sure I understand this...

A xPAP machine only used by me when I am healthy will not pick up infectious "germs" that may harm my health, in normal use.

A device claiming to kill germs that could cause disease somewhere else may not apply to my somewhat protected xPAP use.

The best way to buy one of these it to get it from a "church." That way you can write off the cost as a donation...

Am I close?

Not really sure what you are asking.

1. For the most part true; I do think under the right conditions you could get mold growth in your system so you should clean it "occasionally".
2. So clean claims to clean and kill germs, we know it does not clean so I am suspect of their claim to kill germs. I don't know if any residuals from the cleaning could hurt your or not.
3. You left me with this one, have no idea what you mean

I believe it's called "humor".

Bingo, we have a winner! Jim

Basically sales reps, trying to scam people with fear, and not much logic.

There is nothing funny about Cpap!!! Actually, once I realized it was humor it was pretty funny, even funnier that I was so serious I didn't see it at all.

I have a So-Clean machine, I don't see how it can make the forced air from ResMed smell better without it working, no fragrance is added by the So-Clean, but the electronics on the ResMed are glitchy when I use the So Clean the ResMed shuts off during the night. I have a bungee cord keeping the ResMed water lid from popping open during the night but now it just shuts off. Without the so-clean I woke up with migraines. Who would service the ResMed with the So Clean attached? It's so frustrating, I threw my first so-clean in the trash because my cpap machine wouldn't work with it attached, bought another one a year later during an ambien and sleep deprivation induced state.
