CPAP cleaner Respify [anyone buy this?] - purpleh2 - 09-16-2018
Just wondering if anyone has bought this -Respify (on Ebay )
(CPAP Cleaner and Sanitizer So Clean Easy Kills 99.8% Germs 4X POWERFUL PORTABLE
Same Technology as SoClean & VirtuClean + Guarantee!)
I bought it and been using it once a week for the last 5 months to Sanitizing everything once a week
I still wash mask every day and wash everything once a week then use Respify
The guy says its working when you smell that certain air smell and after 2 hours your good
Lots of 5 stars but the fact is not sure how he backs up his claim it kill 98.5-99.8% Germs
on smell
Thanks

With a total of 32 reviews, I'll take your word for it. Can you describe the system? Sounds like a plastic bag that gets some ozone blown into it.
RE: Crap cleaner Respify - Melman - 09-16-2018
I looked it up. It appears a small battery powered ozone generator is placed in a sealed plastic tote or bag containing the CPAP parts. There seems to be no provision to actively circulate air to assure that all or even most of the O2 in the container is converted to O3. It's doubtful, therefore, that many of the surfaces, especially the interior of the hose are ever exposed to ozone. There is also no provision for inactivation of the ozone except time for it to degrade to O2. There are no references to any type of lab studies.
RE: Crap cleaner Respify - purpleh2 - 09-16-2018
on Ebay just put in a search --Respify it will come up
its a small device triangular measures 3 inches it would be great for traveling very small
and yes it does come with a Plastic Bag BUT THAT WOULD BE FOR traveling only
While using it at home they tell you to buy a plastic sealed container with lid on, mine is 14 by 10 and 8 inches tall
Walmart $5-10
it is power by rechargeable Lithium battery expect to get 4-8 cleaning's before recharging its USB
and they say you get around 500 charges before you discard it
It say you need to use it at least 2hr min each time for a full clean
So it is very handy, small and doesn't take up any space, for traveling it would be great plastic bag and a the 3 inch device
From ebay -- • Active Air Works While you Relax, Eliminating Germs, Leaving CPAP Gear Fresh
• Works with ANY CPAP Mask/Hose Type
My only concern how do you know it really works, yes you smell the refreshing odor --activated oxygen
RE: Crap cleaner Respify [anyone buy this?] - purpleh2 - 09-16-2018
There is a strong ODOR after 2 hour in the container but like the one person said there no circulation but am assuming
because of the strong odor it would get inside of the hose I guess but NOT sure

Ozone is toxic. That strong smell isn't doing you any good.

Before this goes too far,
Don’t buy, don’t buy
RE: Crap cleaner Respify [anyone buy this?] - CB91710 - 09-16-2018
One positive thing to say...
It works exactly as well as devices costing 6x as much

Here are the real cleaners. Dawn Soap or Baby Shampoo. (CPAP Cleaner and Sanitizer So Clean Easy Kills 99.8% Germs 4X POWERFUL PORTABLE

RE: CPAP cleaner Respify [anyone buy this?] - SarcasticDave94 - 09-17-2018
IMO Dawn or Baby shampoo, warm water, with scrubbing/soaking takes care of cleaning needs for my ASV. It's much cheaper and even more portable than any ozone "cleaner". BTW the ozone cleaner actually cannot clean the parts. From what I read, even the machine cleaner websites (regardless of product name), for the most part, still say clean the parts with soap and water. And from my limited knowledge, nothing is truly, in scientific terms, getting sanitized at an in-home setting. At the very least, if sanitizing were actually accomplished in at-home settings, it would be very difficult to maintain that status. A sealed lab setting would be required IMO, but never at your home.
