Why does my SoClean machine give off an odor/smell?

The process of killing bacteria, germs, and other CPAP pathogens is called oxidation and it is that process that you are smelling. You are never breathing in ozone. The smell is perfectly safe and will decrease over time. To reduce the odor, you can try the following:

1) Make sure you use the pre-wash (before the first SoClean use and whenever you see residue build up (typically every 4-6 weeks)
2) Decrease the run-time to five minutes
3) Allow the CPAP to blow air through the equipment for five to ten minutes before using it at night

If you still feel that the scent is too much, you can opt to run the treatment every other day. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.
