I use supplemental oxygen with my CPAP machine as well. Does anyone know if the oxygen machine would need to be disconnected before using this machine

I would assume so. This machine uses a hose connection with tube inside of it to deliver ozone inside the reservoir of the CPAP, and the mask goes into the inside of the machine so that ozone can flow through the CPAP from reservoir to mask. Any exterior connections would need to be an integral part of that closed loop cycle (although some does escape out the air inlet to the CPAP, that is part of the disinfection system).

You can keep the oxygen machine hooked up but just make sure that the oxygen machine is off. If the oxygen was on it could dilute the ozone cleaning the cpap machine.

Most likely not the draw of a cpap would well exceed the 10 amp hour battery's life. I would recommend looking into a Honda or other similar inverter generator. They are very quiet, very fuel efficient and light weight.

I believe it all depends on the draw of you CPAP as this battery is only 7 amp - so 7 hours of use at 1amp and you should run out of juice. I bought mine for my fishfinder, but take a look at the link below as it is what I found on Electrical draw from A CPAP and it appears as if it draws more than people think versus how many functions you have it doing off of the battery.http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-Equipment-How-many-DC-Amps-does-my-CPAP-REALLY-draw

The instructions say you should wash your CPAP regularly, but I find that my CPAP is always incredibly clean after I use the cycle (daily). I absolutely love it and would not live without this now. You have to get used to the temporary smell in your nose, but it's a clean smell. Very much like what chlorine smells like.

You do not need to turn on the power button on the cpap unit. Since I have been using the machine, I have not had any respiratory issues. Really glad I purchased the SoClean. I think you will like it.

Yes, but be aware of another potential problem. You are not supposed to use the humidifier while on battery power, to conserve energy. When, on a vacation in Turkey, I tried to use the system, I couldn't figure out how to attach the breathing tube directly to the CPAP unit. This was on a boat that lacked electric power. Turns out my tube was "electrified" in some way, and was not compatible with the battery system. Now I have an non-electrified tube. I have not had occasion to use the battery with the new tube yet, but I trust it will work. Moral of the story: test your equipment thoroughly before you go to Turkey.

I wonder if people are not using it correctly. The "Sleep therapy" mode is meant to change to white noise after time. You can put it on the sound mode without it turning to white noise if that is what you prefer. Read the directions people! I have not had any issues with the volume randomly reducing and really almost didn't buy this given the bad reviews. I love this machine and so does my husband. Try it before you decide it needs improvements!!!!

After it takes your oxygen level it eventually shuts off. But it didn't store the readings. Hope this was helpful

Depends on how much current the cpap machine takes. But I would think that it would not take more than 12 Amps. Take a look at the required input current on the cpap. If it is less than 12.5 Amps, yes is the answer. Be sure it also is a 12 volt DC input. That is how you get the 150 Watts. P=IE where P is power in watts, I is current in Amps and E is voltage in volts.

I can't see your whole question but this is only a cushion. If you do not have the frame (Respironics comfort full mask frame) already then this will not work for you. You need to buy the whole mask then you can replace the cushion as needed. 99% of masks are compatible with a standard CPAP hose.

I have one of these that I set up as part of a rescue evacuation for first responders. I am almost sure you can not hook up an oxy source to it. That is what I would describe as a SCB, or "self contained breathing" apparatus.

It will work the same, you can set it in any position as you would the lower LPM Regulator, but it will also allow you to go higher in the rescue modes. That's normally what the higher settings are for. Most people only need a set feed (depending on the Doctor's orders and patients needs) of 2 LPM at the start of therapy, up to 5 LPM. In the case of most home Concentrators, (Oxygen Generating Units) they only go up to 5 or 6 LPM.

I am not a CPAP user, but I do tend to open my mouth while I'm sleeping and this takes care of that. Furthermore, I have chronic headaches and generally do not like to have anything on my head, but this is comfortable.

I am not sure--I would think you'd be better off to use the adaptor directly with your cpap. . .

I use it on the night stand when I sleep.It is louder than my CPAP machine, but not bothersome. I usually use it on low or med and find it makes for nice sleeping.

no you do not, only the sanitizer needs to be running as long as you have the adapter hooked up to the cpap.

Hello, generally speaking, CPAP manufacturer's instructions indicate that the mask, hose and reservoir be washed daily. Most customers do not follow these instructions. Although the SoClean is a sanitizer, we cannot technically advise anyone against what the manufacturer suggests. If you decide to hand wash your equipment daily, weekly or not at all, please be assured that the equipment is sanitized as long as you run the SoClean daily. We provide a pre-wash that is intended to use prior to the first use of your SoClean or when introducing new equipment to your CPAP system, to wash your mask, hose and reservoir. You would use the pre-wash with water, in the same way you would use dish soap, to clean your equipment. If you do chose to hand wash your equipment we recommend using a Fragrance-free hypoallergenic cleaning solution. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Christine Dadah Customer Support
