How do clean the interior of a Soclean 2

How do clean the interior of a Soclean 2

I have not used my Soclean 2 in a log time, since I got the Dreamstation2 due to the recall. It has been sitting there with it's top open and the the adapter that connects to the CPAP fell to the floor. I can easily clean that, and I have ordered a new hose and filter, but I don't know how to clean the interior of the Soclean 2.

Any hints?

Any and all help appreciated.

You really should recycle it as e-waste.

Remember that these devices triggered the Great Recall.
Or were the excuse Phillips used ...

The only way one of those devices can be cleaned is with a thermal lance.
Point, and hold the trigger down until the offending device is a hole in the floor.

Do NOT use it.
It will void the warranty on any cpap it is used on.
Destroy it--at once, for your own good.

Just spray the inside with mild soap and wipe clean. That's it really. :)

Just curious... if the ozone generator cannot clean or "sterilize" its own interior, why and how do you expect it to clean your CPAP equipment???

Quite the conundrum, right?

SoClean is an expensive scam. It doesn't clean, it can damage CPAP equipment, it can be harmful to one's health, it will void your CPAP machine warranty, it's not FDA approved, and the FDA has issued a warning bulletin about SoClean and similar devices.

Throw it away, or demand a refund because it is a *DEFECTIVE PRODUCT*, it does nothing good and only causes harm to your machine, and possibly to you.

Well, she did say "just" spray it. I'm assuming she meant spray it but don't use it.

Bought one without having researched it too well.
Alerted by the fervent comments here and further research, stopped using it.
But I find it a great place to stash the mask when not being used. Keeps it free from curious pets and floating dust.
