Would love to see a demonstration on how to connect the new adapter for the ResMed 11. It seems straightforward, but it seems so much different than how adapters are connected for other configurations.
For the AirSense 11 if you want to use the heated tube then you will have to use the new adapter which is placed inside under the cover of the water tub if it fits the tub you have (the standard or the cleanable). I do not know if this attachment can go in the dishwasher to clean it. The other simple solution is to not use the heated tube like shown in the video.
@@jaqmartial7782 Already understand that, but the installation instructions from SoClean aren't clear. Would like to see a demonstration of the install.
I'm interested in this too I got a tank adapter & connected the black hose from the SoClean 3 to the nipple outside the tank but all I get is a red triangle. Something is supposed to be connected to the black tube inside the machine? I just thought that's where the cleaner air came through
Do not use the SoClean machine on any CPAP! It will destroy the internals. Takes about 6 mos to a year then you’ll be left to buy another $1k machine and SoClean won’t give you a cent to help out. My Airsense 10 was ruined by this POS O3 machine. It literally turned the turbine and other plastic parts into a sticky mess and disintegrated all the foam. Just imagine what went into my lungs as a result.

Excellent video. When I purchased my Res Med Airsence 11. I asked about hooking it up to my SoClean 2. They said there was no adapter and actually did not recommend SOClean 2 . but they didn't elaborate why. Have you heard anything.
I have a SoClean 2 and used it rigorously on my old Airsense 10. I now have an Airsense 11 and I've tried finding information on connecting my SoClean machine to it. To not worry about voiding the warranty, I remote the humidifier tank and the heated tube from the CPAP machine. After that I just take the humidifier tank and put it into the SOClean machine, place the ozone tube inside the machine, keep my mask connected to the heated hose and put that into the SoClean machine. I then have the mask end of the hose going in on one side of the machine, remove the hose chamber cap from the SoClean machine and put the end of the heated hose into that part so the hose basically loops with each end of the house causing a seal. Close the lid and set it to clean. This is extra on having to disconnect and connect it on a regular basis but it beats cleaning with soap and water every day like how I used to do. A more permanent solution to not have to take things off every day and keep it connected and simply clean like normal would be to get a 3/16 hose barb and drill it into the humidifier tank lid. This will allow for you to use the machine normally with this simple mod but again please keep in mind that any traces of ozone going throughout the machine may void your warranty but some people rather have the convenience.

Thank you Clay. I have new Air Sense11. Looking for video on connecting to SoClean2. I received So clean adapter for hose and mask maintenance. Humidifier not included in cleaning. Do not find that. Can you help me? Joanne
Or how do you clean the AirSense 11 CPAP Machine and tubing and mask? I try cleaning the tubing and mask running water a tiny soap. Rinsed them . And try drying them. There's still water tint droplets in the tubing and mask tubing nosal part. I'm trying to air dry them right now. And how to clean the water chamber and drying it?
Which mask is that in the video? I've been struggling a bit to find a suitable mask & have found I like the nasal pillow vs full face or nasal. I've only had my unit for a month & have know tried Resmed since Phillips has that active recall I'd imagine which also since you mentioned the Airsense 11 that's what I've got asking with a slim hose & a Climateline now 9 months later are there adapters? I bought a SoClean 3 deluxe kit.

@@ATeaDubya Philips masks will work fine in the AirSEnse 11. We still have not been able to start selling the SoClean 3 so I have very limited knowledge on that.
How to fix the hose slot on either side of SoClean. The spring is broken on one side. It won’t start because it won’t click in. Please let me know if this can be fixed?
No! Always replace the water and wash the reservoir with warm soapy water before refilling. Whatever is in there goes into your lungs! Do not use the SoClean machine on any CPAP! It will destroy the internals. Takes about 6 mos to a year then you’ll be left to buy another $1k machine and SoClean won’t give you a cent to help out.

As of 4/7/2023 there is still no "official" adapter. Amazon has several where you change the lid of the water tank to connect the SoClean. But all reviews are very negative. My wife ended up using the universal adapter and going to a non-heated slim-line tubing. She was not a fan of heated air anyway!
Most manufacturers of CPAPs are saying that. Ozone is corrosive and will most likely shorten the lifespan of your CPAP. We have a great blog on that. Link below. cpapmyway.com/blog/use-soclean-cpap
You skipped the step where on the iBreeze you connect long injection tube with the backflow to the nipple on the iBreeze. This is a problem because there is no nipple on the iBreeze connection.
@@CPAPmyway Thanks for the response. All the cpap suppliers I checked with kept saying the iBreeze wasn't compatible so I called SoClean who said they'd send me the connector I need for free. They told me that I'd have to clean the humidifier tank by hand which was fine with me.
You mentioned about if you (I) have the heated tube then I would need to switch to the regular tube. Like I have a regular tube just lying around waiting to be used! Like another one said, I have the ResMed with the heated tube. I explained that to the SoClean people but, of course, they just want to sell their products so Who cares if I can't use it?
Yes. Hopefully that nightmare will be behind us all soon. We just happen to have an old DreamStation 1 laying around for the demonstration sake of the video.
Why do you need to connect the Soclean 2 to the CPAP? Why not bypass the machine entirely and go right to the tube and mask? If you are using distilled water in the chamber - it should remain "clean". This method would not affect the "warranty" concerns - I'd think?? Any news on an adaptor for the ResMed 11 heated tubes?
You can hook it up that way with the appropriate adatper, but you would have to remove the tubing and connect it to the soclean manually daily. It also would not do anything for the humidifier chamber in that case.
When the Phillips DreamStation 1 recall came out Phillips blamed the SoClean for causing the foam to deteriorate. Has it been determined that using a SoClean is now safe to use with CPAP equipment again? Before the recall I used a SoClean and the only side affect I noticed was that the mask would change color over time. By the way Phillips just sent me my replacement DreamStation 2 three days ago. How the Phillips company can think it is safe NOT TO USE OUR RECALLED CPAP MACHINE FOR A YEAR BEFORE RECEIVING OUR REPLACEMENT UNIT IS BEYOND MY WAY OF THINKING! 😡 Lucky for me my provider replaced my DreamStation 1 with a ResMed AirSence10 last July so I didn’t have to choose between continue using a recalled machine or stop using my CPAP machine where both options could result in health risks!
I registered my Dreamstation a year ago and still haven't received a new one. Thank god I was able to buy a ResMed Airsense 10. I've been in respiratory care for 10 years and I'm telling you, Respironics knew about this crap back in 2015. Patients would come with complaints of a burning smell coming from their machines. Or they would have black particles coming out of the machine. They had a bunch of BIPAPs recalled in 2014 or 2015. The recall has been a nightmare!
SoClean O3 machine is definitely to blame. Do not use the SoClean machine on any CPAP! It will destroy the internals.

I called ResMed and the rep told me that if you use a cleaning machine instead of the recommended warm soap & water to clean your CPAP machine, it voids the warranty. These machines are NOT FDA approved. Convenient yes- FDA approved no.
I know you only want to be helpful, but Resmed voids the 2 year warranty if you use an ozone cleaner, specifically the SoClean. It damages the machine. I set up 35 ResMed PAP machines a week. I have to tell every single patient about it.
That is true. I have not seen that actually happen to anyone, but the use of any integrated ozone cleaner on a CPAP machine will shorten the life of the CPAP. It seems like it is out of warranty by the time the CPAP goes down. For some users the shortened life is worth the simplicity of the SoClean. Every user should weigh out the options for themselves. We even put out a blog on it that helps to explain this. Link below. And thanks for the input from your experience!! We had to make this video because there are still so many people using SoClean. Much easier to send a video link than explain by phone. cpapmyway.com/blog/use-soclean-cpap
I call total BS on the hysteria surrounding Ozone cleaning. Used my Resmed AirSense 10 religiously every night (and every nap!) plus Soclean2 every morning for about the past 5 years. Just got the message that the machine's full expected lifespan hours were up and I should get a new one. Never any issues, always a squeaky clean and disinfected mask and tank. Now have the 11 and need to get it connected.
I have had a SoClean now for 8 yrs and I have had no problems with your machine what so ever.
Great Input. Thank you.

How to fix the hose slot on either side of SoClean. The spring is broken on one side. It won’t start because it won’t click in. Please let me know if this can be fixed?
You would have to reach out to SoClean to arrange repair.
Does the SoClean disinfect any remaining water in the water chamber even if the hose does not submerge into the water?
I am sure that it helps, but I am not sure that it completely disinfects the water. Usually best to dump the water in the morning and refill at night.
No! Always replace the water and wash the reservoir with warm soapy water before refilling. Whatever is in there goes into your lungs! Do not use the SoClean machine on any CPAP!
