CPAP
...
February 16, 2023

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines are commonly prescribed to patients with obstructive sleep apnea. When correctly fitted and used properly, these machines can dramatically improve the quality of life for those with sleep apnea while reducing the risk of severe and life-threatening side effects and complications.

As with all medical equipment, cleanliness is critical regarding CPAP machines and accessories. Here at Copper Star Home Medical, we’re proud to carry the Lumin CPAP sanitizer, one of the top-rated CPAP mask cleaners on the market today.

Why is CPAP Mask Cleaning Important?

Most CPAP machines have a heated humidification system that users fill with distilled water. This system delivers moist, warm air through the CPAP mask, helping to prevent painful drying and irritation of the mouth and nasal passages.

While this humidification system dramatically improves the comfort and performance of CPAP machines, it also creates a fertile breeding ground for dangerous mold, fungi, and bacteria. A CPAP mask or device that hasn’t been adequately cleaned can irritate the airways, trigger recurring sinus infections and lead to frequent respiratory issues. Other problems related to dirty CPAP masks include acne breakouts and rashes, making compliance with CPAP therapy difficult.

The only way to prevent CPAP-related illness is to practice good CPAP hygiene. This means changing the water in the CPAP humidifier nightly and switching out the filter following the manufacturers’ directions. Users also need to keep the tubing and CPAP mask clean and free from contamination, and the best way to do this is with a CPAP mask cleaner.

How Does a Lumin Work?

Lumin CPAP mask cleaners utilize specialized, high-power UV-C light to kill harmful bacteria, mold, viruses, and fungi. This technology is proven to kill 99% of pathogens commonly found on CPAP masks in just 5 minutes in an environmentally friendly and chemical-free way, so there are no ongoing costs to operate a Lumin. There are no replacement parts to purchase, and the compact design lets users place the unit wherever it’s convenient.

Made by 3B Medical, a trusted sleep, and oxygen therapy product manufacturer, Lumin’s hospital-grade CPAP mask cleaners are fully compatible with all CPAP mask brands and accessories. Lumin CPAP sanitizers have been tested for over 150 hours on various CPAP masks, which is the equivalent of about five years of daily CPAP mask sanitizing. After thorough testing, there was no damage to any of the CPAP masks sanitized in the Lumin.

Can a Lumin Be Used For Other Items?

Yes! The Lumin may be used to sanitize car keys, cellphones, and other items that are handled constantly. It’s a great and easy way to sanitize your items and keep you and the family safe. To learn more about the Lumin CPAP mask cleaner, contact our team of CPAP specialists here at Copper Star Home Medical.
