How to Use SoClean with ResMed AirSense 11

SoClean is a CPAP cleaning device that can help you keep your ResMed AirSense 11 machine and mask clean and hygienic. Using SoClean with your AirSense 11 is a relatively simple process, but understanding the steps ensures optimal cleaning and helps prolong the life of your equipment. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Preparing Your ResMed AirSense 11 and SoClean Device

Before starting the cleaning process, ensure both your ResMed AirSense 11 and SoClean device are properly prepared.

Step 1: Power Down Your AirSense 11

This is crucial for safety. Turn off your ResMed AirSense 11 machine completely. Unplug it from the power source.

Step 2: Disconnect and Prepare Mask and Tubing

Carefully detach your mask and tubing from your AirSense 11. Ensure there's no moisture or excessive buildup of condensation inside the tubing. If necessary, wipe down the tubing and mask with a damp cloth before proceeding.

Step 3: Check SoClean Solution Level

Open the SoClean device and check the solution level. Refill the solution if necessary, following the instructions provided in your SoClean manual.

The SoClean Cleaning Process

Now, you're ready to begin cleaning your equipment using the SoClean device.

Step 1: Secure Mask and Tubing in SoClean

Carefully place your mask and tubing into the SoClean chamber, making sure they are securely positioned and not obstructing the cleaning process. Refer to your SoClean user manual for specific placement instructions. This step is crucial for effective cleaning.

Step 2: Initiate the Cleaning Cycle

Close the lid of the SoClean device and press the start button to begin the cleaning cycle. The cleaning cycle typically lasts around 75 minutes. The SoClean unit will do the rest.

Step 3: Wait for Completion

During the cleaning cycle, do not open the lid. This can interrupt the cleaning process and compromise its effectiveness.

Step 4: Post-Cleaning

Once the cycle completes, allow the equipment to air dry completely before reconnecting it to your AirSense 11. This is important to prevent any residual moisture from affecting the machine's performance.

Important Considerations & Troubleshooting

• Regular Maintenance: SoClean is a fantastic tool, but remember to regularly inspect and clean your mask and tubing by hand alongside the use of the device. Regular hand cleaning removes debris that the SoClean might miss.

• Solution Replacement: Always use only SoClean's recommended cleaning solution. Using other solutions can damage the device and might not effectively clean your equipment.

• Troubleshooting: If you experience any issues with your SoClean device or the cleaning process, consult the SoClean user manual or contact their customer support for assistance.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your ResMed AirSense 11 and associated equipment are properly cleaned and sanitized, promoting better respiratory health and extending the lifespan of your CPAP equipment. Remember to always prioritize safety and refer to your equipment manuals for detailed instructions.
