CPAP Ozone Sanitizer Parts and Accessories

CPAP Machine 101

A CPAP Cleaning Machine, or CPAP Sanitizer, is a device that uses ozone (O3) also known as “activated oxygen”, or UV light, to clean/disinfect CPAP equipment (tubing, mask, possibly humidifier). As mentioned in our previous articles, although both UV light and Ozone have sanitizing effects, and both cleaners are fairly simple to use, ozone sanitizers seem to offer better results in the sanitizing process… Mostly it comes down to manufacturing and simplicity of use; UV sanitizers can be less effective if UV lamps used are not strong enough, and since they are simple to produce, with cheap UV lamps, they often prove to be not enough effective; on the side Ozone is cleaners are simple and yet effective enough to avoid such “pitfalls”.

Why opt for ozone as a sanitizing agent? What is Ozone and how do we get it?

Ozone, trioxide, or “activated oxygen”, is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula O3 – simple as that (according to the definition from Wikipedia that we find simple yet informative enough). Being a highly reactive gas, it is effective for sanitizing process. Ozone is a molecule composed of three atoms of oxygen; that is one more than a basic oxygen molecule (chemical formula O2) - the oxygen we breathe, which is composed of 2 atoms of oxygen. When the third O atom is added, it turns the molecule into an oxidant. That third oxygen atom, being the “extra”, tends to detach from the ozone molecule (as it “wants” to turn the molecule back to more stable O2 oxygen), and once it is detached it re-attach to other substances molecules, thereby altering their chemical composition. That chemical reaction is actually what is creating the sanitizing effect. Ozone is a naturally occurring molecule as well as man-made. In nature, ozone is formed naturally through the interaction of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation with molecular oxygen (O2)1, or ionizing air during lightning storms, or by some photochemical reactions…

How is ozone produced in the Ozone Sanitizer?

Ozone sanitizers have a generator that breaks down oxygen (O2) and recreate it by combining another O atom making O3, or an activated oxygen molecule². Ozone generators apply an electrical charge to the air that passes through. This splits apart some normal oxygen atoms into unstable single atoms, which bond with other O2 molecules to form O3. It does sound like a complicated process, but Ozone Sanitizer is a fairly simple device and extremely rarely breaks down.

PrimeClean CPAP Ozone Sanitizer

The need to keep your CPAP equipment sanitized is a must, and we can’t emphasize this enough… CPAP Ozone Sanitizer is (probably) the best solution you can use for this task. It is a highly efficient, simple use, time-consuming tool, that will do everything CPAP users need within 30 minutes.

PrimeClean® CPAP Cleaner comes with the Sanitizing Bag that acts as a chamber in which CPAP equipment is put. This makes the ozone “stays in”, which keeps the ozone concentration at the needed level and avoids spreading the ozone directly in the room, and it sanitizes all the parts efficiently.

With the minimal additional investment, by buying the PrimeClean® Upgraded Sanitizing Bag, or PrimeClean® PLUS CPAP Cleaner (which includes CPAP cleaner and upgraded bag), you can get a larger sanitizing bag, with added ozone filter, and added hose connector! A larger bag means more space to put in all CPAP parts, face mask, tubing and hose, CPAP Hose Coupling Swivel Adapter, humidifier tank…basically, all the parts that need to be sanitized!

The entire sanitizing process is done within 30 minutes and with the simple push of the button! All CPAP parts will be over 99% sanitized and it is a process that will take almost no time to users. It is recommended that the cleaning process is done after the CPAP use (although it is perfectly fine to clean CPAP equipment 30 minutes before use, it is preferred that the process is done after the CPAP use since this way there is no time for germs to grow).

The PrimeClean® CPAP Cleaner is small, cordless, and waterless (no liquids or chemicals), so it is easily packed in a carry-on, backpack, or purse.

Also, an important point is that the PrimeClean® CPAP Cleaner is fully compatible with all major CPAP manufacturers and all types of tubing and hose! And in case there is some connectivity issue, PrimeClean does support accessories as well, so CPAP Hose Connector & Tubing Adapter will fix it for sure.

The cleaner is equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery that can supply over 3 cleaning processes on a single charge. Battery lifespan is expected to be over 5 years.

CPAP Strap Covers Accessory

Wearing a full or partial face mask can cause skin irritation and red marks from straps… This of course can be frustrating and even painful. PrimeClean solution is another of our accessories: CPAP Strap Covers.

Made of fine plush-like, breathable and durable material, these CPAP accessories have the right thickness that stops you from ''wearing'' your strap lines' marks all morning. Thanks to strong double stitching, they hold up very well time and time again. Durable, modern technology material, allows straps to be washed multiple times without losing the original quality and feel.

Simple and universal design allows PrimeClean CPAP strap covers to be used on all mask types and designs!

Summarize: Why Ozone Cleaner? Why PrimeClean?

Being reckless with your CPAP equipment can lead to serious health issues, but also reduce your CPAP lifespan as well. Cleaning and sanitizing manually is effective, but it’s time- consuming and in general a process you get tired of in time… The solution comes with an automated CPAP cleaner! Preferably, ozone cleaner. And the ozone cleaner we can guarantee is PrimeClean.

We chose ozone as a sanitizing agent for our CPAP cleaner analyzing results and the needs of CPAP patients, but also acknowledging the fact that the medical industry often use ozone to disinfect areas and tools. Although our main CPAP Sanitizer is 100% safe to uses, to make sure there is no “ozone smell” (some users don’t like that smell), we added an ozone filter as well to our Upgraded bag.

Constant improvements and following the industry advances push PrimeClean to improve our products and accessories…and now we expect to add 2 new products to our products offer: CPAP Pillow and improved 2.0 cleaner! Our main goal is to stay in the top tier of the CPAP industry and we are doing that with high-quality products and full after-sales support and warranty.
