Can My Lumin CPAP Cleaner Be Used to Disinfect Other Items?

If you’ve made the investment in a Lumin machine, you might be wondering if it can be used to clean other items besides the parts of your CPAP. The Lumin’s disinfecting power and cleaning speeds make it a great asset for cleaning your CPAP machine, and the size makes it big enough to fit the mask and other bulky items inside. The fast, easy operation of the unit is likely to make you wonder if you can put other items inside to get them germ-free in a few minutes time. But putting items that weren’t intended to go inside the Lumin can have unintended consequences.   


What is a Lumin?
The Lumin CPAP cleaner is a cleaning unit that works to neutralize bacteria and dirt within the CPAP machine. Instead of scrubbing away dirt with soap and water, this machine allows you to keep your CPAP machine well maintained with little to no effort. Harnessing the power of light, the Lumin disinfects quickly and completely to sanitize the CPAP. High powered UVC light rays are ideal for killing harmful organisms, and they can clean the entire CPAP quickly so you can get back to using it as fast as possible.

How Does It Work?
To understand how a Lumin machine works, it's important to understand a little about the light used within the machine. This is not the everyday light that comes in through your windows or spills out of a lamp. This is a specific range of ambient light that targets harmful organisms to neutralize them and is the same kind of light used in medical facilities and hospital operating rooms. Isolating this light range is proven to kill fungus and mold to leave your CPAP safe for use.

Can You Use the Lumin to Clean Other Items?
While other items can be placed inside the Lumin, the manufacturer does not recommend it. Placing other oversized items in the Lumin machine can cause harm to the machine itself. Even if the items you clean are the appropriate size, using the machine to clean other items can cause the machine to wear out faster. Using the light source too often will also cause you to need to replace key elements faster than you would have to if you only use the machine for its intended purpose.
While you can use a Lumin to disinfect other items, it isn’t a good practice to get in the habit of doing. It’s best for the machine if you only use it for its intended purpose and find another way to disinfect household items.
