Testing CPAP Cleaning Devices - 2430 Using an ozone meter on a tripod, FDA scientists observe elevated ozone levels while testing a device claiming to use ozone to clean Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines. To date, ozone gas has not been proven to be safe or effective for this use. While cleaning your CPAP is important, most CPAPs can be cleaned safely and effectively with mild soap and water as described in the owner’s manual, with some manufacturers recommending the use of diluted vinegar.
