No. The SoClean uses no uids in its operaon. It sanizes with gaseous acvated
oxygen. No harsh uids or water are used in this process.

No. The powerful sanizing agent used by the SoClean never reaches the outside
environment. It is generated and contained safely within the SoClean system, and is
converted back into the air we breathe when it is released.

Aer sanizing, your equipment will carry a light, clean scent. Some have described
it as a mild bleach odor. This scent indicates that your equipment has been
sanized.

If you have already treated your equipment with the Neutralizing Pre-Wash, and sll
feel that the scent is too strong, there are a number of things you can do: (1) Before
donning your mask at bedme, run your CPAP for 20 seconds to allow any residual
scent to be expelled. (2) Set the mer so that treatments take place earlier in the
day, allowing any residual scent to dissipate by nighme. (3) Reduce the treatment
duraon me. Using your SoClean manual, you can cut back to as lile as 5 minutes
and sll receive eecve sanizing. (4) Sanize your equipment every other day
instead of daily.

Five to ten minutes should be enough to completely sanize your equipment.
Anything beyond that is likely unnecessary. The SoClean should never be set to run
for longer than 30 minutes, with at least a 30 minute cool-down.

Nylon and natural rubber break down when exposed to acvated oxygen.
Mainstream manufacturers typically do not use these materials in their reservoirs,
hoses, or headgear.
