SoClean is not currently covered by health insurance.
HSA/FSA accounts can be used for purchase; product list number is #9274.
Works with most CPAP/BiPAP machines; a free adapter is included for compatibility.
Compatible with most CPAP masks; some full-size masks may not fit.
Filter and check valve need replacement every six months; machine indicates when needed.
SoClean 2 is for home use with automatic features; SoClean 2 Go is smaller for travel with battery power.
Can be kept attached permanently; some heated hose setups may require water chamber disconnection.
Preferably level with CPAP for easier flow; can be placed on a shelf below if check valve is monitored.
Tube needs submersion if reservoir has water; can run without water in reservoir.
Minimal effect on CPAP air pressure; heated hose adapter may be needed for BI-PAP/A-PAP.
Comes with a two-year warranty; tested to run over 5 years without issues.
Only CPAP masks with headgear should be placed in the SoClean chamber.
Pre-wash is fragrance-free dish soap; use to wash CPAP reservoir, hose, and mask.
Works with heated humidifiers, which are standard on most CPAP machines.
Can be used with or without a humidifier to sanitize hose, mask, and headgear.
Distilled water is recommended due to sediment and minerals in tap water.
Works with heated hoses, but requires a heated hose adapter (included).
Recommended run time is 5-10 minutes daily, preset to 7 minutes.
Chamber dimensions are 5"x5" opening and 7" deep; any mask fitting these dimensions will work.
SoClean sanitizes; manual washing is still recommended every 5-6 weeks for oils/dust.
Inhibits facial oil build-up but does not remove it; wipe mask periodically.
It is better to run the SoClean when your CPAP mask is completely dry.
Refilling reservoir before or after use does not make a significant difference.
Personal decision; SoClean sanitizes the water in the humidifier each run.
Likely oily residue, not mask deterioration; mask is fine after cleaning.
Activated oxygen (O3) is a three-atom oxygen molecule with powerful oxidizing properties.
Activated oxygen is a natural disinfectant used in various applications.
Occurs in nature and is used commercially; SoClean encloses it and converts it back to oxygen.
The terms activated oxygen and ozone are interchangeable.
Uses enough ozone for sanitation; concentration decreases to 0 ppm by the time the chamber is opened.
Compatible with acrylics, polycarbonate, and silicone; materials withstand ozone cleaning.
Produces activated oxygen from regular air; no additional supplies are needed.
Produces activated oxygen from air and converts it back to regular oxygen via a filter.
Ensure lid is secure; escaped ozone molecules are dispersed and not hazardous.
A heated hose has an electrical connection for humidification comfort and to prevent rainout.
Adapters are needed for some CPAP brands/models for setup and heated hose functionality.
Caused by missing side slot plug or CPAP hose diameter being too thin.
Indicates filter/check valve replacement is due; reset procedure involves button combination.
Used for first use or new equipment to wash mask, hose, and reservoir.
Byproduct of oxidation; odor decreases with time or by adjusting cleaning time.
Indicates that the batteries need to be replaced.
Usually caused by built-up facial oils, not plastic yellowing.
