RESMED ON USE OF OZONE MACHINES - srlevine1 - 01-27-2020 It appears that ResMed has spoken with a FEBRUARY SURPRISE on Ozone machines. Quote:To Our Valued Patient, I thought this important enough that I did not simply add it to the thread at http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-Can-SoClean-damage-an-Airsense-10?highlight=ozone. RE: RESMED ON USE OF OZONE MACHINES - SarcasticDave94 - 01-28-2020 Thanks for posting this info. It reinforces my decision to clean with soap and water only. RE: RESMED ON USE OF OZONE MACHINES - SuperSleeper - 01-28-2020 So, you can get your machine "So Clean" that it will void your warranty.

Now that right there's funny. I don't care who y' are. Beam me up, Scotty. RE: RESMED ON USE OF OZONE MACHINES - SarcasticDave94 - 01-28-2020 I submit that SoClean changes its name to SoThere. Oxford dictionary defines So There as: used to express one's defiance or awareness that someone will not like what one has decided or is saying RE: RESMED ON USE OF OZONE MACHINES - OMyMyOHellYes - 01-28-2020 So What? RE: RESMED ON USE OF OZONE MACHINES - mesenteria - 01-28-2020 Unless I misread it, it seems that they don't care if you use the ozone cleaners on your peripherals, such as mask and hose. It's just that they don't want you forcing the ozone stream through the devices themselves, which they are convinced will suffer from prolonged exposure. This is contrary to what I had understood. I had expected all organics to suffer from prolonged exposure to ozone. Maybe they don't care because they know customers will have to change them for new ones routinely anyway. RE: RESMED ON USE OF OZONE MACHINES - srlevine1 - 01-28-2020 The fact that ResMed took the time, effort, and money to change their warranty policy, tends to make me believe that there was a significant or costly warranty issue with device components. Else, they would have remained silent. As for the use of ozone-generators with masks, hoses, etc., these are consumables and designed to be changed -- most likely before they can be damaged -- unlike the device itself which must last for at least 5 years. RE: RESMED ON USE OF OZONE MACHINES - SarcasticDave94 - 01-28-2020 That is a good point. Consumables are expected to only last a certain time period before replacing. Consumables do not include the machine itself, which could be damaged by an ozone producing "cleaner". And I'll agree it must have generated warrantee claims or ResMed wouldn't have devoted time to modify coverage info.

On the inside of Resmed CPAP machines there is sound deadening foam. Ozone is a corrosive gas..it's no secret that various 'foam' things don't do well with corrosive chemicals...whether they be ozone,bleach,lye etc etc.... |
