Tips for CPAP Equipment Cleaning

You should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines when it comes to cleaning your CPAP machine and equipment. These guidelines are there for a reason and will give you all of the information that you need to know. If for any reason you cannot locate this information, you can contact the manufacturer for more information on this subject. They will be able to recommend how often you should be cleaning different parts of your equipment.

You should also be aware that the FDA has not actually evaluated the safety and effectiveness of any products that use ozone gas or UV light to clean CPAP machines and equipment in your home.

What Does a UV Light Sanitizer Box Do?

A UV light sanitizer box is essentially a machine where you place your CPAP equipment inside, and the device uses the UV light to clean the products. UV light is the shortened version of ultraviolet light, which comes from ultraviolet radiation. UV light is actually present in sunlight, but the light in these machines is more concentrated.

UV light is interesting because, within a certain range of wavelengths, it can be used for cleaning purposes. Between 200 and 300 nanometers, UV light is classified as a cleaning agent. It can get rid of different forms of germs and bacteria to help clean your CPAP equipment. UV light is becoming more and more common to be used for cleaning purposes as it is environmentally friendly and free from all chemicals. It can be a great way to clean everything that you need to.

UV light is considered environmentally friendly due to the fact that it doesn’t produce any toxic gases, chemicals, or residue. It is becoming more popular to use in the healthcare industry for decontamination purposes, and this is why it is now being used for CPAP cleaning.

Risks That Are Associated With Using UV Light Products

UV light can be used to disinfect your CPAP equipment only when the UV light does not escape into your surroundings unlike Ozone products such as Virtuclean or the SoClean2. The product should be generating UV light in a way that will shield the user from exposure. These light sanitizer boxes should be able to close fully to stop the UV light from entering your home. If they do not, they are posing a health threat, and the severity of this depends on factors like wavelength, intensity, and exposure time.

There aren’t currently any known problems that are associated with UV light products, but users should be aware that accidental exposure to UV light during cleaning can put you at risk of skin and eye injuries. When this light is used as a disinfectant, it might not be able to penetrate every single area of the CPAP equipment, which can mean that they are not sufficiently sanitized. This could result in them not being safe for use after cleaning as they aren’t actually clean.
