LiViliti Paptizer 360 UV‑C LED Smart Sanitizer
Key Takeaways
- FDA-cleared (510(k)) as a Class II microbial reduction device for CPAP mask cushions.¹
- Demonstrated a 2-log (99%) reduction of six common CPAP-related bacteria species in lab testing on ResMed AirFit F20 cushions, an adjunct to washing, not a replacement for it.²
- Ozone-free UV-C LED technology, no odors, residue, or waiting for gas to dissipate.
- 40 UV-C LEDs rated for up to 10,000 hours, no filters or ongoing costs.
Quick answer: The Paptizer 360 is an FDA-cleared UV-C LED device that reduces bacteria on CPAP mask cushions after washing. It uses light, not ozone or chemicals, runs a 30-minute cycle, and has no filters or recurring costs.
Why the Paptizer 360 Stands Out
The Paptizer 360 is an FDA-cleared Class II medical device for reducing bacteria on CPAP mask cushions.¹ Unlike ozone-based sanitizers, it uses UV-C LED light, so there's no odor, no residue, and no wait time for gas to clear.
Its 360-degree sanitizing chamber uses a clear quartz glass tray, letting UV-C light reach both the top and bottom of your mask cushion.
How it works:
-
Wash your mask cushion with soap and water, per your mask manufacturer's instructions.
-
Place it face-up on the quartz glass tray.
-
Close the lid and press start.
-
The 30-minute cycle runs automatically, tracked on an LCD timer, and shuts off if the lid opens mid-cycle.

Good to Know
-
Not a replacement for washing. LiViliti's own labeling states the device "must not be used to replace the cleaning procedures as recommended by the CPAP mask manufacturers."²
-
Lab results, not a clinical guarantee. The FDA notes that correlation between in vitro results and real-world clinical outcomes hasn't been established.
-
Tested on one cushion type. Lab testing used the ResMed AirFit F20 specifically; results may vary with other mask materials.
Disclaimer: This is an FDA-cleared adjunct device for reducing bacteria on CPAP mask cushions after washing; it doesn't replace regular cleaning per your mask manufacturer's instructions, and in vitro test results don't guarantee clinical outcomes.

Both are ozone-free and use UV-C light. The Paptizer 360 has the stronger regulatory backing and published test data specific to CPAP cushions; the Lumin is faster and doubles as a general-purpose sanitizer for other household items.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Paptizer 360 FDA-cleared?
Yes, it's an FDA-cleared (510(k)) Class II UV-C LED microbial reduction device for reducing bacteria on compatible home-use CPAP mask cushions after cleaning.
Does the Paptizer 360 replace washing my CPAP mask?
No. It's an adjunct to washing, not a substitute, per the manufacturer's own labeling.
What bacteria has it been tested against?
Six species commonly found on CPAP masks: S. aureus, S. epidermidis, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, and E. coli, tested on ResMed AirFit F20 cushions.
How is the Paptizer 360 different from the Lumin?
The Paptizer 360 is FDA-cleared specifically for CPAP mask cushions with published lab data; the Lumin runs a faster 5-minute cycle and is designed for a wider range of personal items, but isn't stated as FDA-cleared.
