SoClean used on ResMed AC10

SoClean used on ResMed AC10
Hello everyone,

I picked up a barely used, 450 hours,ResMed AirCurve 10 bi-level to use as a back up. The date on the machine is 2017 so I'm guessing it sat unused for most of its life.
The humidifier chamber had been modified to work with SoClean and there was SoClean paperwork in the box so I assume the original owner used SoClean on it.

I know Phillips did a recall due to issues w/ Ozone cleaning but not ResMed. Should I be concerned given the low miles on the unit and likely very few times SoClean was used on it?

It smelled a bit musty when I first used it so I ran some ozium thru it to get rid of any bacteria etc and that cleaned up the smell beautifully.

It seems to work fine but was hoping for some input on the SoClean issue.

thanks.

RE: SoClean used on ResMed AC10
450 hours (about 2-months of use) is not a long exposure to the SoClean, and we can assume it may not have been used every night. The Philips recall issue was due to the type of PUR foam they used, and Resmed is not affected. The concern with Resmed is long-term breakdown of silicone seals. Resmed came out early against SoClean and sent a letter to all owners that use of an Ozone disinfection device could void the warranty.
