I have watched several other videos on how to set up my new SoClean 2, and this is the ONLY video you need to watch. It is excellent and for people like me who don't always read the directions first, it was the easiest and best way to set up my machine. BRAVO to Shannon!!
This is by FAR the BEST video I have watch!!! I finally found a video that helped me with my adapter and the "plastic" cover seal in the top of the "water reservoir". Didn't even know it had the top seal attachment! Shannon was VERY informative and now I'm set up to use new SoClean!!!!
Had so many questions on how to connect this device. The manual did not show my specific model but this video put it all together just watching it once. Great step by step instruction. Very easy to understand.
I agree. The instructions that came in my box sucked and made no sense because the amateurish drawings they used did not apply to my machine. I almost sent it back for a refund. After watching these videos, now I see why I couldn't get it connected properly. The instructions did not mention removing the short tube used for those not using the humidifier.
I just put the soclean2 and her resmed together and I was so worried I did it wrong... fast forward to your video... you made me feel confident I did it right!!! Thank you!!! This video was awesome!
Awesome communicator and very helpful information! She did not even read from a script, yet was precise and fluid in her communication. Amazing presenter!! I'll buy from you any day!
I have been in this world a long time. I have seen a lot of videos also. But this is the best instructional video I have ever seen in my life. The attention to detail is amazing. You should be sales. You can sale a fish a cup of water. Just amazing.
This has been awesome. I used my so cleans for the first time and had water coming out. Had everything totally connected wrong from reading directions. Thank you so much.
After trying to figure the instructional booklet, I found this video. Hooking it up is a lot easier than what the book makes it to be. Nice job on the video!
My reservoir started leaking tonite but I remembered your site to tell me how to connect without a reservior! Thank you so much for the great, clearly understood video. The is has been the best explanation that I have seen.
THANK YOU! If it wasn't for your video I was ready to throw the SoClean out the door. The manual gives you minimal instructions and when contacting customer service, they referred me to the manual! Thank you!
This was definitely the most understandable video i have watched on the airsense 10 and so clean connection. it was great and highly recommended for first time users. thank you much
I figured I'd search TH-cam for reviews and instructions before my SoClean arrives today. I have the same CPAP, so this video was particularly helpful. Thank you so much for a very well presented video!! :thumbs up:
Thank you for this video--was getting very frustrated with the "generic" instructions for both the SoClean machine and the adapter--was about to give up and watched the video and set it up the correct way and had my first night's sleep after using the SoClean machine--thanks again!!!
How often do you change the water and after awhile won't that wreck the black hose. I guess a person could keep trimming it back. This is the only video I could follow. Thanks a lot.
SoClean makes it so hard to fit your CPAP machine to the SoClean machine. My advice to you is to set aside the instruction booklet that came with your SoClean and hopefully you find this website and follow this persons instruction video and set your CPAP AirSense 10 Elite up in 5 minutes. Great job!! Thanks
You are the real MVP! I thought I had to purchase another part. Ticked off! I bumped into your video and stress levels back to normal. I so wish I could hug you. The video was far from boring and your remind me of Ellen from the Ellen show 💞. Thank you again for the help. 💋
Thanks for making this video. I read the manual, the quick start card, and none of it was making sense. The parts I had just didn't fit up with what the instructions were talking about. (I've got a ResMed AirSense 10 with the reservoir removed and the side cover installed.) Your video made setup comprehensible and easy. Thanks again
Hi this video is GREAT I now understand how to use my SOCLEAN without the heated tube. I'm rehabbed often, and my AirCurve10 with H2O attmnt is cumbersome with the unit. I will get the new attachment to ease my mind. Thank you for making my life a bit easier. Cheryl Williams 7:05p 12/27/23
If this video was to be rated in Olympic Terms , I give it 5 gold medals !!! Thank you to Direct Home Medical and dear Shannon for making such a wonderful, practical, cut to the chase, great video on how to clean our CPAP equipment with the SoClean machine !!! Thank you and God bless you all !!! 💖👍🏻🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇👏🏻🗽🤩😴🛌🏻⭐🌞
5:56 seconds and I have my solution. I've had my SoClean for 4 days and could not figure out what the black tubing was supposed to do. I actually have a Resmed 9 but this worked perfect. Thanks!
I can now use my SoClean 2 with confidence. Great Info and video. Best I've seen. One thing that would make your video better would be to raise your table or lower your body. It is a little bothersome to have your head cut off. You could raise the table by putting a brick or plastic box or something like that under each leg to get the table higher. You could also sit on a chair that is a little higher than normal. You are informative and have a great manner and voice. Thanks.
Thanks a million! This video saved me from Hulk Smashing the SoClean machine. Hahah. Especially the part regarding adjusting the adapter and hose for the humidifier cover. 💙
We're hoping it makes more sense once you get your machine as well. If you have further questions, contact our Care Team at 888 505 0212 and we would be happy to help! Take care.
Dave, It is not necessary to unplug your CPAP at any time while using the SoClean. You should just set up the CPAP and the SoClean and the SoClean will automatically run each day as long as your mask has been properly inserted into the unit. Take care!
I have a ResMed Airsense 10, so I was interested in this video to see how this would work. However, I do have a couple of things that I'd like to raise: 1. You could still clean the heated tubing with the adapter. The connector to the CPAP machine is a standard tube, just with an additional connector on the side. You could attach the adaptor to the machine and then connect the heated tube to the other end of the adaptor. As the CPAP machine isn't actually on, it doesn't matter that the heater element isn't connected. I don't know if the plan is to keep the SoClean connected all the time, but I'd probably want to disconnect it anyway, just in case. 2. If the small tube on the adaptor is designed to go into an internal water chamber, why won't it work with this model? It's barely any different on the ResMed, so could the tube not be fed through and into the humidifier that way? Or is there some issue with installing it that way, such as the tight angles in the chamber or the possibility of the tube affecting the air flow? I'm still debating whether this is something I should consider getting anyway, as I'm very lazy when it comes to keeping it clean and the thought of having a device to take care of it for me is kind of appealing.
My just got my so clean. Video was very helpful in question if you don’t use all the water in the chamber in one night do you have to empty the water before you using the machine.
Hello, You can use the same water in your water chamber however you must make sure the black SoClean hose penetrates the surface of the water the next time you sanitize. If there is not enough water in the chamber, the SoClean will not sanitize it. Take care.
2 major inconveniences of this model when comparing to the S9 version: - Adding water to the humidifier is not easy because the SoClean hose is attached to it. There is not an internal removable pan to add water - The automatic mode of the S10 interferes when the SoClean try to blow ozone thru the hose into the humidifier chamber. As a result, the cleaning is interrupted. You have to set it as manual.
Nice video, fine product. However, it looks like more to buy, maintain it . It only takes a couple minutes to manually wash I soap, hot water three days a week, hot water rinse four days a week and probably pretty clean to use. I have no problems.
Thank you. I do not use heated tubing or the water tank thing. Now I know how to make this work. I'm guessing that I remove the so clean hose after cleaning?
Hello, you should not have to disconnect anything - that is the wonderful thing about the SoClean. Once you have it set up, you can leave it attached until you have to replace your CPAP hose. Take care.
Excellent video, thank you. A couple of questions though. I have the AirSense 10 with humidifier and heated tubing. Does the water level in the chamber matter when using the SoClean? Or does water have to be removed before using? I am assuming the mask goes into the SoClean with the heated tubing coming out the side? Does the tubing get sanitized in this situation?
Hello, If you have water in your reservoir, the tube needs to be submerged. In order to get the activated oxygen to clean the water. However, you can also run the SoClean without water in the reservoir. The SoClean will clean the heated tubing as long as you are using the appropriate adapter. Take care.
The Soclean 2 manual directions are the absolute worst! Shannon you did a fantastic job!! Any doctor that sells C-pap machines and suggests the soclean should email a link to your video.
I'm missing the piece you took off of the tubing, where you said we might need it later. And I'm missing the bag of accessories. I don't need it to use with my device, but why was it not in the box with the so clean? But the teacher is great.
Gina, the chamber does not need to be emptied out to use the SoClean. Just leave the SoClean adapter and everything attached to your CPAP at all times. Take care!
Great video!!! So helpful since I was doing it wrong haha quick question:do I have to switch my tubing to the heating tubing? I received one in my box and I am not sure if it came with a purpose or not. I would appreciate the help!
Hello, if you're using standard tubing then a standard connector is included with the SoClean so you can attach it just like you would the heated tubing options in the video.
I have a question similar to one here that did not seem to be fully answered. My wife and I each use a Res-Med air-10. If we have one SoClean, and have the water chamber adaptor, one will be connected to the SoClean, the other will not. Does the one NOT connected to the SoClean have to have adaptor capped in some way to keep it from leaking when the CPAP is on?
when using the CPAP machine with Airsense10 with humidifier, does the black tube connected to humidifier chamber REMAIN attached with the CPAP running?
good video but only shows the humidifier lid connection...should show that the mask and tubing goes into the soclean after the change in the humidifier lid connection with the lid tubing. A diagram showing the flow of the oxygen would be nice...maybe she assumes it's understood
That part lost me. She just stopped after connecting to chamber. So do I also stick the tubing and mask in the Soclean machine? The way she did it...looks like it doesn't clean your tubing or mask, just chamber and machine. Can you help please?
I am using the So Clean 2 to clean two AirSense 10 Machines. Can I still run the Air Sense with the reservoir adaptor however not connected to the SoClean 2 when sleeping?
Can’t decide between the portable SoClean or this unit. Is it ok to clean the mask and hose once a week or is daily cleaning recommended. I’m away from home during the week.
With the new lid adapter for water chamber, is there a cap for black tubing or do you have to change out lid gasket from SoClean adapter to original adapter with each use?
When using the SoClean 2 with a chamber adapter you simply attach it once and then you can leave the SoClean 2 and your CPAP/BiPAP attached at all times whether you're using the SoClean to clean your device or sleeping with your CPAP/BiPAP.
I have the Res Med Air Curve 10 with heated tubing and the water reservoir. My SoClean equipment came with the reservoir special lid to exchange with the original reservoir lid that this machine came with. Is this the adapter that you were discussing in your video or do I need to by another adapter from the website for my ResMed Curve 10?
Great video! I think I know what I'm doing now, except the black thin hose that is feeding the O3 into the water reservoir, is it ok for that hose to be IN the water or should it be trimmed back?
Hello, you do not need to trim the black hose. You must make sure that the black SoClean hose penetrates the surface of the water. If there is not enough water in the chamber, the SoClean will not sanitize it. Take care.
Great video. One question. When you replace the humidifier lid with the adapter, how does the original lid get cleaned? Do we keep the new adapter lid in the humidifier permanently? Not quite sure what to do here. The rest of the cPap machine is clean, but that original lid has not run through the process.
Mary, the adapter lid and the entire SoClean can be left attached to your CPAP at all times so you can just keep the original lid as a backup in case it's needed in the future. Take care!
Thanks. I had the same question. Just to confirm, I can leave the Soclean hose and humidifier adapter on my machine and still use it during normal usage sleep hours? Btw, great info video!
For traveling, I would think that a vacuum fitting rubber cap could be pushed on to the plastic tube where you remove the black hose from the SoClean and it should function the same as the original lid. These vacuum caps can be found at any auto parts store. They are called vacuum block off caps and are made of black rubber hose with one end closed (sealed) and the other end open.
Please, please help me. Do you have to clean your machine with that solution that they sent with the soclean kit. Or can I use some other type of soap?? I ran out of the solution that came in the kit??
Thank you for making this video! Super helpful. With the first setup that you described is it necessary to disconnect every night to put the original cover back on before using the machine. Or can you use the machine with the new cover?
Hello, When using the SoClean 2 it is never necessary to detach it, or any adapters, before using your CPAP. It is designed to be left attached all the time. Take care!
DirectHomeMedical Thank you! I just connected everything and just used it without detaching. I realize now it was probably a goofy question, but thank you for the response!
That was not a goofy question. I have been wondering the same thing. I always sleep with the cleaning top still attached. I have never changed it back to the original top. But lately I had been wondering if I was supposed to sleep with it still attached to the so clean machine.
Hello, I need to know where to get the water chamber lid, for my Airsense 10 machine. I use the humidifer I bought the SoClean2 machine and am trying to get it set up to use. Please advise.
Hello, the SoClean 2 does not santize your CPAP equipment while your device is in use. After a simple initial setup, SoClean 2 will automatically sanitize your equipment each day so it's clean and ready for you to put on when you go to bed each night. And if you ever want to sanitize your equipment manually -- after a nap or just for extra protection -- it's as easy as the press of a button. Take care.
I have watched several other videos on how to set up my new SoClean 2, and this is the ONLY video you need to watch. It is excellent and for people like me who don't always read the directions first, it was the easiest and best way to set up my machine. BRAVO to Shannon!!
Did the resmed attachments come with it?
Am I supposed to cut the tubing that goes from the SoClean to the Cpap machine and insert the check valve? The directions do not address that issue!
This explanation is too confusing

Yeah this is the best video out there. Question. Does the C-PAP machine really need to be unplugged during the 2 hour cleaning process ?
Dave, It is not necessary to unplug your CPAP at any time while using the SoClean. You should just set up the CPAP and the SoClean and the SoClean will automatically run each day as long as your mask has been properly inserted into the unit. Take care!
I can't seem to get power on it won't power on
Shannon deserves to be compensated by the So Clean company. Without her demonstration and information, many people wouldn't buy the machine.
We think she does a great job too!
I have a ResMed Airsense 10, so I was interested in this video to see how this would work. However, I do have a couple of things that I'd like to raise:
1. You could still clean the heated tubing with the adapter. The connector to the CPAP machine is a standard tube, just with an additional connector on the side. You could attach the adaptor to the machine and then connect the heated tube to the other end of the adaptor. As the CPAP machine isn't actually on, it doesn't matter that the heater element isn't connected.

You're very welcome!
showing the rear view would be nice on both machines

Does the SoClean and the CPAP need to be at the same level surface or can the SoClean be on a shelf below?
If there is water in the chamber does it have to be emptied and switched out from the chamber top to the old top on the Air 10?
Gina, the chamber does not need to be emptied out to use the SoClean. Just leave the SoClean adapter and everything attached to your CPAP at all times. Take care!
@@DirectHomeMedical To avoid bacteria growing in the water chamber I would think it should dry out daily.
Great presentation! It really helped a lot.

You continue to use your normal heated tubing. I had a hard time figuring that out too.
You didn’t talk about what if I am using humidifier with standard tubing? How would I set that?

This is a very easy video to understand.
Can you leave the water in the humidifier when you cle you CPAP machine and mask?
What if you have water inside the humidifier of the resmed? Can you just put on the lid adapter and use so clean with water inside the water chamber?
What if you have water inside the humidifier of the resmed? Do you use so clean with the water inside the humidifier with the lid adapter on?
I am using the So Clean 2 to clean two AirSense 10 Machines. Can I still run the Air Sense with the reservoir adaptor however not connected to the SoClean 2 when sleeping?
Can’t decide between the portable SoClean or this unit. Is it ok to clean the mask and hose once a week or is daily cleaning recommended. I’m away from home during the week.
With the new lid adapter for water chamber, is there a cap for black tubing or do you have to change out lid gasket from SoClean adapter to original adapter with each use?
When using the SoClean 2 with a chamber adapter you simply attach it once and then you can leave the SoClean 2 and your CPAP/BiPAP attached at all times whether you're using the SoClean to clean your device or sleeping with your CPAP/BiPAP.
I just got my machine. It's all hooked up and ready to go. Do i leave the CPAP machine plugged in when I use the Soclean??
Sherri, You can leave your CPAP plugged in when using the SoClean. Take Care!
Very helpful and easy to understand!!!! Thank you so much.
Can you use the soclean if you dont have the water resevoir on it? I just have the plate on the end.
Do you need to empty the water chamber each time you clean your Cpap?
Do I leave water in when cleaning
no
I have the Res Med Air Curve 10 with heated tubing and the water reservoir. My SoClean equipment came with the reservoir special lid to exchange with the original reservoir lid that this machine came with. Is this the adapter that you were discussing in your video or do I need to by another adapter from the website for my ResMed Curve 10?
That is correct! If you have an AirCurve, you will need the Resmed tubing adapter.
Great video! I think I know what I'm doing now, except the black thin hose that is feeding the O3 into the water reservoir, is it ok for that hose to be IN the water or should it be trimmed back?
Hello, you do not need to trim the black hose. You must make sure that the black SoClean hose penetrates the surface of the water. If there is not enough water in the chamber, the SoClean will not sanitize it. Take care.
Thanks for this, very helpful.
Thank you so much! I was stumped!
We're so happy you found this helpful!
Great video. One question. When you replace the humidifier lid with the adapter, how does the original lid get cleaned? Do we keep the new adapter lid in the humidifier permanently? Not quite sure what to do here. The rest of the cPap machine is clean, but that original lid has not run through the process.
Mary, the adapter lid and the entire SoClean can be left attached to your CPAP at all times so you can just keep the original lid as a backup in case it's needed in the future. Take care!
Thanks. I had the same question. Just to confirm, I can leave the Soclean hose and humidifier adapter on my machine and still use it during normal usage sleep hours? Btw, great info video!
yes
But..you need to hang on to the original lid for when you travel.
For traveling, I would think that a vacuum fitting rubber cap could be pushed on to the plastic tube where you remove the black hose from the SoClean and it should function the same as the original lid. These vacuum caps can be found at any auto parts store. They are called vacuum block off caps and are made of black rubber hose with one end closed (sealed) and the other end open.
Please, please help me. Do you have to clean your machine with that solution that they sent with the soclean kit. Or can I use some other type of soap?? I ran out of the solution that came in the kit??
I've seen another video that showed a quick disconnect in the tube leading to the water reservoir. Yours doesn't have one???
Thank you for making this video! Super helpful. With the first setup that you described is it necessary to disconnect every night to put the original cover back on before using the machine. Or can you use the machine with the new cover?
Hello, When using the SoClean 2 it is never necessary to detach it, or any adapters, before using your CPAP. It is designed to be left attached all the time. Take care!
DirectHomeMedical Thank you! I just connected everything and just used it without detaching. I realize now it was probably a goofy question, but thank you for the response!
That was not a goofy question. I have been wondering the same thing. I always sleep with the cleaning top still attached. I have never changed it back to the original top. But lately I had been wondering if I was supposed to sleep with it still attached to the so clean machine.
Hello, I need to know where to get the water chamber lid, for my Airsense 10 machine. I use the humidifer I bought the SoClean2 machine and am trying to get it set up to use. Please advise.
Hello, the SoClean 2 adapter for AirSense 10 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Take care.
So I’m trying to understand does this cleaner work while your using the cpap sleeping at night?
Hello, the SoClean 2 does not santize your CPAP equipment while your device is in use. After a simple initial setup, SoClean 2 will automatically sanitize your equipment each day so it's clean and ready for you to put on when you go to bed each night. And if you ever want to sanitize your equipment manually -- after a nap or just for extra protection -- it's as easy as the press of a button. Take care.
