An unboxing video of the SoClean2 CPAP/APAP sanitizing system. I recently was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and was prescribed a APAP machine (ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset) and being the neurotic germophobe that I am that I took EXTRA precautionary measures to ensure that a unit that is strapped to my head for the rest of my life is free from any bacteria, viruses, fungi and mold. You should always follow your DME's instructions on cleaning your CPAP system and augment it with the SoClean 2 system.

[@tarbender1979]

Been using the same ResMed CPAP that you have for over 3 years now. That machine has saved my life. About a month ago a good friend of mine asked me how my sleep treatment was going. I told him it was going great and I could not imagine sleeping without it. Then I brought up this automated cleaning system I was saving up for. He called me this morning and asked for a favor. He asked me if I would swing up to a local medical supply company and pick up some items that he had ordered. My friend is a 69 year old, retired, and disabled. He's family. I have made several trips to this store to pick up his supplies so I thought nothing of it. When I got to the store and informed them of what I was there for the wondeful woman behind the counter said that they were expecting me for the pick-up. She brought out a box, started demonstrating how it works and so on. I asked if I was supposed to pass all of this information on to my freind and that's when she broke! It seems my ol' friend had puchased a SoClean 2... for me! He set me up! What a great gift. I am a grown 40 year old man... but I couldn't help but tear up!

[@piercedasian]

Wow what a great story! That is so awesome your friend did that for you. Feels great to have good surprises like that. You must be a good friend to him!

[@eddiewouldknow]

SoClean should pay you, this is the most clearcut instructional video in cyberspace. Thanks!

[@JamieE76]

Agree.

[@deeedmondson2352]

Could you please tell me do you need to remove the water in the reservoir before running the so clean or do you leave the water in it. Sorry new to this machine.

[@eddiewouldknow]

@@deeedmondson2352 You need to ask the author of this video.

[@lindaparnell8072]

[@Yorick10314]

This is by far the best, most complete video on the set-up of the So Clean 2

Wow, thanks!

[@darlenerives2938]

Amazing!!! I can finally use it!! Thank you so so much!!

[@recovery831]

Came hear first and I don’t need to go anywhere else. Thank you. Did you use a head cam to record so your hands were free?

[@troywanninger2774]

Watching this makes me realize I should probably clean my cpap more than once every 3 months. Wish I had as much energy and excitement for my cpap as he does.

[@piercedasian]

yes, cleaning a CPAP is a pretty important thing to do (IMHO) to ensure you're equipment doesn't have anything funky growing in it. The CPAP unit itself generally isn't so much of a concern as is the humidifier and hose since that is the interface between you and the CPAP. Excitement? lol. I admitted like presenting and showing people how to do things but I don't hate my cpap by any stretch since I started using it that it seems to have improved things for me even though I barely qualified to get a CPAP due to extremely mild sleep apnea.

[@merceris]

From physical setup to timer and clock setup, to an actual run, this was very thorough. Everything in one place. Thank you for the demo.

[@piercedasian]

you're very welcome!

[@frankwyndham6026]

This was more concise and informative than the first 5 videos I watched by so called professionals Thanks

[@piercedasian]

Glad to u found it helpful!

[@Laney904]

I really wish I had seen this video four hours ago when my so clean to first arrived. It would’ve been up and running 3 hours ago and I wouldn’t of been frustrated by trying to figure out the manuals. Thanks for posting this! Very, very helpful.

[@lynneahearn6685]

right there with you husband who isn't a read the directions kind of guy starting unpacking everything at 8 and threw it all back in the box at 9 and went to bed without his CPAP I googled so clean on utube found the video and got up and set it up while he was sleeping. I tried following the manual and webisite videos and they were very confusing. I assume since I saw the colors change and I smelled that lightning storm freshness it worked.

[@piercedasian]

Glad my video was able to help!

[@piercedasian]

Hey Lynne, so glad you were able to get it all setup for you husband! Yes I'm not sure why SoClean and their documentation team just can't create a video that explains this properly. Thanks for watching my vid!

[@adriennecantwell]

Thank you so much. I was overwhelmed when the box arrived. Your instructions were detailed and made my setup easy.

[@piercedasian]

Glad you liked my video and thanks for watching!

[@lazonfutura2872]

What they said!

[@jamanlock4689]

Me too Adrienne, I kept getting overwhelmed with all the WARNING & CAUTION messages. I've been on this machine since 2013, so I hope this will improve the overall health aspect & usage of the machine. Great content though.

[@kimberlysilva7048]

Yes! I agree! Thank you for the clear instructions!.. I was confused and overwhelmed when I opened the so clean box!.. but this was a great video!! 🥰

[@timlumpkin7696]

Yes SoClean should be paying you. Their setup instructions were nearly non-existent. Thank you for a thorough walk-thru.

[@piercedasian]

You're very welcome! i wish SoClean paid me for this tutorial but sadly I had to pay for my unit and teach others on how to set it up.

[@christineeubanks6522]

Thank you SO much for these instructions. I was actually having an anxiety attack from trying to figure out how to make sure these units were connected correctly. Again, thank you! TE

[@piercedasian]

you're most welcome. No need for panic. Worst case is that you can still use your cpap and figure out things after the fact right ? :)

[@Sillygooseroni]

Just wanted to say that this was extremely helpful. I couldn't figure out the instructions with my CPAP but you have the identical one! Thank you very much.

[@maryannemcadams5602]

Same! We are fortunate to have seen this!

[@kristysmusic12]

Do we have to empty the reservoir every night does it need to be empty when we do the so clean

[@03catlover07]

I just got my So clean yesterday. I hooked it up today and noticed that when I first turned it on that you could hear it running, then it quit after a short time. I thought something was wrong so looked up this video and it helped me a lot. It is showing yellow right now and not not making a running noise. Great presentation.

[@piercedasian]

Glad you liked my video. Yes the soClean only runs for a few minutes to generate ozone so it can pump it through the CPAP machine and flood the compartment with ozone. It then goes silent and the ozone takes time to kill off any bacteria and viruses that may be living in and on your equipment.

[@PatrioticDemocrat]

@@piercedasian Oh! So, it is only noisy for about 10 minutes? My hubby can handle that. A video by someone else had me worried about the SoClean cuz hubby works at home!

[@shamyr]

I have the same CPAP equipment that you use. Just like the others commented, I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video as it is extremely helpful. Great job good sir🎯

[@piercedasian]

Glad to help

[@beverleythiel3812]

This man MUST be a teacher. The presentation is the very best and most thorough instruction about attaching the So Clean2 to the ResMed AirSense 10. Highly recommend this man's instruction. Oct. 24, 2019

[@piercedasian]

lol not a teach but someone that is very passionate about doing things right and showing people how to do things properly. Glad you liked my video!

[@kuna711]

Hands down the best and clearest and most thorough instructional video re: this product. Even better than SoClean’s! 👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@piercedasian]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JamieE76]

Very useful to see someone go through the process. I just got my SoClean 2 a few days ago; cleaning my cpap gear again today before I hook it all up. And I didn't even know I could buy a brush to clean the inside of the hose, so good info to include. Thanks! :)

[@piercedasian]

Glad you found my video useful and informative. Thanks for watching!

[@Sunny-xm3bi]

@@piercedasian maybe off topic, but speaking of the hose brush ...I've delayed getting a hose brush because it occurred to me that a bristle could break off from the brush when scrubbing inside the hose and get caught inside one of those little ridges in the tube and then be inhaled by me if it breaks loose and is moved up the hose with air during the night. Can you judge by the quality of the brush whether this could happen? I guess it's impossible to say, actually, but just as you're a "germaphobe," I believe you said, this is something I've gotten mentally stuck on too so have avoided the brush. Do you have a perspective? I like the idea of a brush to clean with. I've used CPAP for 6 years and have seen the gunky-looking film that seems to build up inside the ridges and I'd love to keep that from happening. BTW, your video is a lifesaver. Recently got the same setup as you and have avoided dealing with it. This will help. Thanks.

[@madamerose4806]

Very good information. Thank you, it's so much easier watching how it's done instead of trying to read instructions that are not for my machine

[@piercedasian]

glad you liked my video. Thanks for watching.

[@billyknock3619]

Thank you for the video. I was afraid I was sending it back. The instructions were not that good or thorough with the unit. You make it much easier.

[@piercedasian]

Yeah I get that a LOT from my viewers. Weird how SoClean couldn't create an instruction manual if their life depended on it.

[@mwood65]

I had the same problem with the instructions. Too many extra parts that I didn't need for my particular CPAP.

[@jobranstetter-hall2978]

I had the same thought, Billy. I was very stressed with the whole thing and the set-up instructions were a mess... poor illustrations and directions. Hope you are doing well with you therapy. It has changed my life completely and I have severe obstructive sleep apnea.

[@upeachesclyburn5266]

@@jobranstetter-hall2978 , I felt an experience the exact same thing. This video is a Godsend.

[@TopoGigio555]

I can’t thank you enough, you just saved me the cost of a new SoClean machine! I went to use the machine this morning and kept getting a message saying the hose wasn’t connected. I checked all the connections several times and was so frustrated that I was ready to just buy a new one. I came across your video and got to the part about the end cap and you said the machine wouldn’t run without the cap in place. I checked again and found the end cap had fallen off onto the floor. Such a small but integral piece of equipment! So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your concise and informative video!

[@piercedasian]

Glad you were able to resolve your own issue without having to spend a dime.

[@guynellerandle9742]

I have got to comment. I have been on this unit almost a year. I only received the SoClean 2 days ago. I have noticed a substantial difference since I began using this unit. I feel that I can “deep breathe” a lot better. The convenience is worth the cost. I am thankful for the convenience and knowing that it is a sanitizer is less worry. Well worth it!

[@piercedasian]

Glad that you found the SoClean made a difference for you! I don't know if I feel any difference but I do know that my OCD tendencies can be put to rest knowing that I'm killling off whatever bacteria and viruses that may be present. I recently had a cold that I was getting over and I was coughing and hacking into my full face mask (gross) and after each night I would go and wipe my mask down and then run it through SoClean. I got over my cold quite quickly while the rest of my family remained sick for a couple of weeks longer.

[@guynellerandle9742]

piercedasian it could be completely in my head . It’s only been 2 days so far.

[@piercedasian]

whether its in your head or not you can sleep better knowing you're killing of whatever MIGHT be on your mask or in your hose. No harm using it :)

[@cherylwhite294]

This is far and away the BEST guide I could find. Everything is covered and each step is clearly demonstrated. Thank you!!

[@piercedasian]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DPEDEN3]

I just received my SoClean 2 and started watching several KZbin videos about hooking up and using the device. Your video was the first to suggest keeping the old reservoir lid for traveling. Great advice. I almost through old Lid away thinking I would never need it again. Makes perfect since to travel without the SoClean.

[@KLRCHRIS]

I have an older CPAP machine that I travel with. Old style with no water reservoir. Works fine for a few nights out of town.

[@piercedasian]

Yes it is absolutely imperative to keep the original lid as travellers not in the know would be rudely surprised when they're travelling and use their cpap to discover they have a water fountain spurting water all over their machine. Vital to always keep the original parts and to be mindful to swap things over when travelling (unless you're compelled to travel with the SoClean as well).

[@piercedasian]

Depends where you go. I have a fairly low tolerance to dry air and struggle with my travel cpap that doesn't use a humidifier.

[@dwightmanzy5724]

This is a great video, I just received my SoClean today as a gift and you and I have the exact same sleep machine. Your video answered a lot of questions for me, This is a 10 in my book. I highly recommend your video.

[@danfalen7104]

As a new SC2 owner, this is exactly the complete and instructive video that I needed. A couple others were truly lacking. One of them hooked the tube to the water reservoir then said 'you're done!' No mask into the machine. No turning it on. No waiting two hours...LOL.

[@piercedasian]

yes the included instruction were truly awful.

[@irvintuckeriii884]

That info is still informative 2yrs after you have recorded .you are so right about so clean not having enough info in their manual how to operate the equipment.

[@furrrylivesmattter7823]

Hey I JUST got my SoClean today....tell me, does the water tank have to be empty before I run SoClean??? I know it sounds like a dumb question but I dont know who to ask

[@piercedasian]

Nope, you can have water in the tank or have it empty is all works the same.

[@sirkharuse3019]

[@piercedasian]

Welcome to the hose head club :) Just remember when you use your SoClean that once every 2 weeks is likely MORE than enough to sanitize any germ buildup. Good luck with your treatment. It will be somewhat challenging at first but after you get used to using a CPAP that things (for most people) do improve.

[@michaelelliott1212]

To date, there are 156 bozos that gave the video "thumbs down." I watched your video in my initial research before I even bought the machine. Your demonstration was very clear and it was one of the clinching points of why I bought the machine for her. Kudos2u Piercedasian!

[@iamathinkster]

Great descriptive video! I actually sell these and I demo it almost exactly like you did. One thing I would say differently would be is when using the SoClean2 with a Full face mask like you were using in the video - I would take it off the end of the hose and insert it into the SoClean2 Ozone Chamber by itself and dangle the cpap hose through the opening making the seal. If you don't, then your hose will start to prematurely stress and will fail where it awkwardly sets in the SoClean2 Ozone Chamber. These Soclean2s are amazing. And amazingly simple to use. I am a SoClean2 user for life. I wish they would have made these 20 years ago.

[@piercedasian]

Glad you liked my video! SoClean is an interesting device that I hope does what it says it does. I haven't had any detrimental effects from using SoClean. Great tip on the hose placement. I will consider that next time I use my machine!

[@anonamom]

Thank you for your video, I set up my so clean so it would be ready to go in the morning. When I went to sleep it wouldn't work, it constantly kept turning off telling me there was a major leak. So I switched back to my original reservoir not knowing why it was turning off and not wanting to deal with it so I could just go to sleep. The next morning after watching your video I saw that I needed to simply switch the gasket to the new reservoir adaptor, duh. I was thinking maybe I had the wrong adaptor, but it works perfectly now. Again, thank you, I am very happy to know I have a system that's easy instead of hand cleaning the mask every morning, and that it cleans 99.9% which is awesome. I've always been a hands on learner and something as silly or easy as just changing the gasket made all the difference.

[@piercedasian]

glad you liked the video and figured out what was wrong with your setup. I do like my SoClean a lot and even though I still clean my mask with mask wipes that I sleep better at night knowing that I'm not breathing in fungus or bacteria that could compromise my respiratory health.

@ E. If the nasal pillows are made of any type of foam, you need to remove that, before cleaning the mask, as ozone/O3 will degrade and break down the foam.

[@dancole5795]

Thanks very much. The clearest explanation of the SoClean out of many "how to" videos out there. I have to thank you for something else. I have only had my CPAP machine for a while and have been laboring under the idea that I had to empty & clean the reservoir along with the hose & mask everyday. When I got the SoClean unit I couldn't figure out how to empty it while it was hooked to the unit. Thanks to you I now know that I just have to keep it topped off. So, in spite of the fact that I feel like an idiot, I thank you for saving me what would probably have been hundreds of dollars in distilled water every year.

[@jim573]

If you use so-clean with a ResMed AirSense 10 that is under warranty. You will void the warranty. I'm a respiratory therapist that works for a home care company. We have a letter from Resmed stating that the warranty will be voided. It can make your machine sound like it has a bad bearing in it. So use it at your own peril.

Thanks for the unboxing. My main concern was with how loud the unit was while working. I thought it might have been a malfunction. However, yours sounds just as loud, so I’m probably good to go.

[@piercedasian]

you're most welcome. Yeah the unit when it is generating ozone can be quite noisy.

I use this device too. And like you I still continue the cleaning routine for my mask, hose and head gear. For the head gear I use a lingerie laundry bag and I wash it in my washer with no issues, then air dry. Thanks for mentioning running your machine for "mask seal". I didn't and the ozone was strong. I ran "mask seal" afterward! Thanks for the video, and best wishes!

This video has been so helpful in setting up my husband's SoClean. He has been wanting one for years and I was finally able to convince him that he is worth the cost. But once we got it, we were totally befuddled as to what to do to start using it. Luckily, I was able to find your clear concise video. Tonight he will sleep well. Thank you.

This is so strange... I wonder how come my viewers comments aren't showing up in my comments until now. My apologies to everyone! once everything is pre-cleaned there is no need to have everything bone dry. Just shake out as much water as you can and run your SoClean as needed. I run mine every 2 weeks as I find that is more than enough to keep things clean and germ free.

I have a P10 nasal mask that I use in conjunction with my full face mask but the issue I have is a leaky mouth. When I am really tired I tend to sleep with my mouth open. Looking into a chin strap right now but can’t decide on what is the most comfortable and effective strap.

This really was a very simple to follow informative video! Do you add water in the ResMed reservoir when you are running the o-zone cleaning cycle?

[@piercedasian]

Glad you liked the video. Nope, I don't add additional water, I just clean whatever water is already in there and add more water to my unit before bedtime.

[@MrJet0000]

@R Mack I got the bubbling sound when I left the water in the tank, Now my cpap machine makes a whinning noise it didn't make before. I would recommend empty the water before the cleaning to avoid damage to your cpap machine.

[@brakenut1]

Nice job.. I love my SoClean.. HOWEVER.. don't put your head gear into the machine.. it destroys (or better stated dramatically weakens) the material cloth and elastic.. just unclip the four corners, hang your head gear and toss your mask and hose in the machine. I haven't found consensus talking to a half dozen different sales and sleep techs regarding good or bad of water in the reservoir during a clean cycle. My routine is .. soon as I wake up.. I unclip my head gear.. toss the mask and hose in the SoClean.. fill my reservoir to max.. and hit the manual clean button... Now.. at bedtime.. I'm ready to hit the sack with little prep. To reiterate your comment.. this is a sanitizer... not a cleaner.. the weekly cleaning at minimum is absolutely needed... more frequent if you have the discipline...

[@piercedasian]

yep you're absolutely right. I discovered this after speaking to a few folks too. It is questionable as to how long it takes to degrade the headgear and most folks are likely to replace their headgear every 6 months mark. That being said it is GOOD advice you've given and I'm going to detach my headgear too going forward. Thanks for reiterating the point that it is a sanitizer and not a cleaner. Regular cleaning still needs to be done which is usually accomplished by wiping the mask parts down with mask wipes.

[@georginadubois748]

Love your clarifications...they were vital to me as I am thinking about getting so clean. My reservoir is empty when I wake up, so I will refill it as you do and sanitize WITH my evening water ready to go. You also anser my questions "you still need to wash it weekly minimum" it makes sense but why not sanitizing enough? Thanks again

[@piercedasian]

b/c SoClean doesn't remove mucous residue from your mask or snot or whatever bodily fluid discharges that may end up on your mask from either your nose or from sneezing. It also doesn't remove or eliminate body oils from your skin on the mask. It is meant to augment your cleaning routine and more importantly kill off bacteria and viruses in the CPAP circuit that would potentially make you ill.

This may seem like a silly question, but I need to ask just to be sure. Is the CPAP Machine suppose to be ON or OFF during the cleaning process? Also, should there be water in the humidifier during the cleaning process, or not? Thanks in advance! - Jon

[@katesdad2855]

CPAP off. Humidifier tank can be empty, partially filled or full for the next run--it does not matter. The required adapter is a replacement lid for the humidifier tank. It includes a short hose to get the ozone to the bottom of the humidifier tank. If there is water present then the ozone will bubble to the top and continue on through the "closed loop" to clean the whole system.

[@piercedasian]

The CPAP machine is to remain off. You can leave water in the humidifier if you want as it will sanitize the water too.

Great video, I have been a cpap user for a decade or more can’t imagine sleeping without my “Darth Vader” mask as my wife calls it, waking with a clear head an the best sleep of my life...actually wake in the same position i fall asleep in too is great as well.

[@piercedasian]

Yes, I had reservations about having a mask strapped to my face while I slept but in some ways I was used to it because I wore a respirator quite a bit while working on cars when I had to do a lot of grinding/body work so for years I knew what it would feel like. I can sleep without my cpap for a few days but after that I start to get more and more tired or symptoms start to return.

So, if you're going away on vacay, you have to replace the top lid without the nipple lid?ugh, I travel weekly, this seems like a pain to have to remember.

[@piercedasian]

yes, unfortunately you have to do that BUT there is a cheat you could use instead... go to an auto parts store and purchase a "vacuum port cap" and then slip it over the nipple of the reservoir and voila! No more lid swapping.. Just cap the nipple and call it a day.

[@dwightlyon3643]

you have a second choice. change the cover back with your traveling, get a vacuum cap the fits the nipple or get a second reservoir for when you are traveling and just swap them out no harder the filling it . Oh wait that was three wasn't it. But also Do not ever trust tap water and for that matter do not trust bottled water unless it is DISTILLED!

[@traxlera]

J Bartek keep a second water chamber in your CPAP bag at all times.

[@funambulemusique20]

Excellent presentation! Quick question - do you empty out your water reservoir every morning prior to starting the disinfection process? I was wondering if the SoClean played any role in keeping the remaining distilled water "clean" between refills.

[@piercedasian]

nope, the so clean is designed to be used with or without water so anything that is left in the reservoir will also get disinfected.

My reservoir is empty every morning, should I refill it to get the water clean too?

[@JerryDLTN]

I was thinking of buying one for my Mom's CPAP. She hadn't used her CPAP machine in years but recently read that using a CPAP (or using an unclean CPAP) will make you more likely to get pneumonia which she used to get a lot when she was using the CPAP. Her doctor suggested that she start using the CPAP again because she can't stay awake throughout the day.

[@piercedasian]

I would highly recommend that if you have NOT used the cpap equipment in a long long time that you give it a good hand washing of key components. If you look on my channel there is a vid that I just posted yesterday that shows the general video on how to hand wash all the key components so that they're clean. If you're going to invest in a SoClean that your equipment needs to be washed clean prior to use and you should still get into a habit of washing things with some warm soapy water on a regular schedule. Remember a SoClean will keep pathogens inside the hose and machine at very low levels but it won't remove organic contaminants such as facial oils, saliva and snot (should you sneeze into your cpap mask). Lastly, make sure the filter on the CPAP unit is clean as you wouldn't want mold spores or dust lingering on an old filter that could be propelled into the air stream when you first fire it up. Check out the latest video I published on hand cleaning it. How to PROPERLY Clean CPAP Equipment kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGOsZnWCp8iAkJI
