I just found this document summarizing the issues surrounding ozone air cleaners. The same issues apply to your product
Some vendors suggest that these devices have been approved by the federal government for use in occupied spaces. To the contrary, NO agency of the federal government has approved these devices for use in occupied spaces.

That's a good find. If I may, here are some more quotes from the document.
The same chemical properties that allow high concentrations of ozone to react with organic material outside the body give it the ability to react with similar organic material that makes up the body, and potentially cause harmful health consequences. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and throat irritation. Ozone may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections. People vary widely in their susceptibility to ozone. Healthy people, as well as those with respiratory difficulty, can experience breathing problems when exposed to ozone.

... Manufacturers and vendors of ozone devices often use misleading terms to describe ozone. Terms such as "energized oxygen" or "pure air" suggest that ozone is a healthy kind of oxygen. Ozone is a toxic gas with vastly different chemical and toxicological properties from oxygen.

Wouldn't surprise me. His only visit to the forum was to post what was said. He hasn't even been back to check for responses.
Maybe a sneaky spammer.

My suggestion.....people quit posting in this thread and let it die off the page and into the archives.
Every time we post a reply it gives the post a bump to the top giving it free ad space again.

Exactly. Probably one of the worst consequences (beside sickness or death) of your ozone generating machine (So-SoClean)

Trust me - one look at your stinky and discolored CPAP device and they'll know. Warranty gone. Win-Win for them, lose-lose for you. :D

Your CPAP machine warranty has likely been voided. If you ever have a warranty issue with your CPAP machine, don't let on that you used an ozone cleaner.
A whole lot of investigation is ongoing before I spend a single dime.
