Reaction to ozone exposure; using sleep8 ozone cpap cleaner and began having facial skin reaction.I thought i had developed a silicone allergy.It would take 3-5 days for the skin reaction (distinct swelling, redness and itching) to resolve.As soon as i used my cpap again the skin reaction would return.I got a completely new cpap setup including machine and mask and for three weeks was able to use the cpap every night without any skin irritation.On (b)(6) 2021 i put the hose and mask into the sleep8 ozone cpap cleaner and ran the cleaning cycle.Just prior to going to sleep, i removed the hose and mask from the sleep8 cleaning bag, and began my cpap therapy for the night.I woke with swelling, redness and itching in distinct red splotches where my mask touched face (specifically under lower lip and cheeks).More research online brought me to a similar report: https://www.Accessdata.Fda.Gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/detail.Cfm?mdrfoi__id=10689847&pc=lrj.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
