Using the SoClean 2 CPAP Sanitizing Machine
The CPAP Shop explains how the SoClean2 CPAP cleaner allows you to eliminate mask wipes and sanitize your CPAP equipment to be 99.9% bacteria-free!
The machine works with most CPAP machines and masks, and no water is needed. When you use the SoClean to sanitize your CPAP mask, tubing and reservoir, you do not have to disassemble the mask, tubing and humidifier. Instead of water, it uses activated oxygen to sanitize the mask, hose, and reservoir.
Using the SoClean 2
To do this, you simply connect the SoClean 2 to the back of your CPAP and place the mask inside the SoClean, with the tubing hooked to an adapter that is connected to your CPAP machine. Set the timer, and the SoClean makes a low humming sound for about 10 minutes until the cycle is finished.
SoClean 2 Uses Activated Oxygen to Clean
The machine works by pushing activated oxygen through the tubing and adapter, inside the reservoir of the CPAP machine, and then back to the SoClean 2 machine. The mask, tubing, and reservoir are cleaned along the way.
Activated oxygen kills bacteria, mold, virus, and fungus. When the machine adds a third atom of oxygen to the O2 oxygen that we breathe, it forms a new molecule of ozone (O3), otherwise known as activated oxygen, that destroys bacteria and viruses through oxidation.
After about two hours, the O3 reverts back into O2. The very first time you use your SoClean 2, you should pre-wash your mask, hose, and reservoir using the included Neutralizing Pre-Wash. Any time you add new equipment to your CPAP therapy, you should use the pre-wash on it.
How Often Should You Use Your SoClean2?
It is recommended that at a minimum, you clean your CPAP machine weekly. The SoClean2 can be used daily to help reduce bacteria build-up. SoClean 2 is so easy that you can increase your cleaning frequency to prevent illness and infection.
Maintaining Your SoClean2
To remove dust, you may wipe down the SoClean 2 with a damp cloth. The SoClean check valve assembly and filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months. A reminder message on the display will appear after approximately 6 months, depending upon usage.

Is it safe to use the CPAP after the ozone has gone through, but before the whole 2 hour cycle is finished?
Hi Katherine, it is not recommended to use your supplies until the SoClean has completed the entire cycle. The SoClean needs time to dissipate the residual Ozone.
is water to remain in reservoir while disinfecting
Hi Margie, you can keep water in the reservoir. It is just recommended to keep the end of the injection hose below the water level.
I’ve been using my Airsense 10 for about a week and connected SoClean 2 days ago. My CPAP is always on standby and automatically starts when I attach the mask so I detach the mask before placing it in SoClean and place the heated hose in the slot for cleaning. Since I haven’t found an Off switch for Airsense 10, the machine is still on standby while being cleaned. Is this okay ? I just want to be sure I’m not damaging either machine or if wrong, how do I turn off Airsense10 without pulling the plug each time.
Hi Dawn, you are not damaging your machine or the SoClean. You can press and hold the Start/Stop button for 3 seconds to enter power save mode.
Can I run the SoClean with water in the CPAP reservoir? Can I keep the same water in it or should I empty it out every day?
Hi Cindi, yes you can run the SoClean with water in the reservoir. We still recommend changing the water daily.
DO I HAVE TO EMPTY THE RESERVOIR FROM MY CPAP MACHINE IN ODER TO USE THE SO CLEAN?
Hi William, yes you can keep water in the reservoir. It is just recommended to keep the end of the injection hose below the water level.
Hello is it possible to run the Soclean machine without placing a mask in the chamber? I just want to disinfect my CPAP machine.
Hi Anthony! Yes, you can run the SoClean without a mask, if you just want to sanitize your tubing and water chamber.
after the machine stops do I need to take mask out or can I leave it in until I use it at night
Hi Anthony! It’s not necessary to remove the mask right away. Most of our users turn the machine on when they leave for work, and remove it when they come in the evening.
Hi Chris, so how long can it stay in machine
Hi Ron! Most of our users leave the mask inside the SoClean while they are at work, or running errands. So it’s completely safe to leave your supplies inside the SoClean for several hours. Once the SoClean is done sanitizing, it will turn off automatically.
How often should I use the SoClean machine, daily?
Hi Linda, it’s really your preference! However, most users do use it daily, for example, running it while they’re at work so their equipment is ready for use in the evening.
