CPAP Cleaning and Supplies

CPAP cleaners are generally safe when used according to manufacturer instructions. They are designed to sanitize CPAP equipment effectively, reducing the risk of contamination. However, we di not recommend using ozone CPAP cleaners because they have not been cleared by the FDA.
However, many CPAP manufacturers do not recommend using ozone CPAP cleaners and have specific language that voids the warranty if a cleaner is used. Read your manufacturer's details carefully.

CPAP cleaners employ various methods, such as ozone or UV light, to sanitize CPAP components. These methods eliminate bacteria, viruses, and germs that may accumulate in the equipment over time.

CPAP cleaners have been shown to effectively sanitize CPAP equipment, helping to maintain cleanliness and reducing health risks associated with using unclean devices.

Ozone cleaners generate ozone gas to disinfect equipment, while UV cleaners use ultraviolet light to kill germs. Both methods are effective, but ozone cleaners may require longer airing-out periods due to the gas. We do not recommend using ozone CPAP cleaners because they have not been cleared by the FDA.

CPAP machines and accessories should be cleaned regularly to prevent bacterial growth. Daily cleaning of the mask, tubing, and water chamber is recommended, and thorough cleaning of all components should be performed weekly.

The best CPAP cleaner can vary based on personal preferences and needs. Research the features and methods of different cleaners to find one that aligns with your requirements.
