I used a ozone cleaner called sleep 8 for my cpap machine and developed a sore throat and cough afterwards, in hindsight i realized this has not been the first time this has happened.I followed the manufacturer's direction and did not open the bag used to clean my equipment for 1 hour, their documentation claims the mask and tubes are ready for use after this 1 hour time period.I also let my cpap run with the tube and mask hooked up to insure that no ozone was left in the mask (not a direction listed by manufacturer).The manufacturer also has a list of 11 dangers and warning on their guide, not one mentions that the cleaning could cause any respiratory issues or a sore throat.All testing of this equipment is on the electrical components and has no mention of the ozone concerns.Researching this issue, i came across a press release from the fda from feb 2020 and want to add my complaint to this issue.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
