Using the Lumin Sanitizer for a Healthy CPAP Machine

What is a Lumn CPAP mask cleaner?

The Lumin CPAP mask cleaner is used to sanitize a CPAP machine. A high powered UV bulb provides the germicidal cleansing power for the machine. The main chamber is a polished light drawer made of aluminum that reflects light to increase the coverage of the disinfected area. This type of disinfection kills fungi, mold, pathogens, viruses, bacteria, and unwanted germs. Using a Lumin CPAP sanitizer to clean your CPAP machine, will ensure you get a hygienic, healthy and the best sleep therapy possible.


How does the Lumin CPAP cleaner work?


A high energy light known as UV-C is emitted by the Lumin machine, with a frequency of about 254nm. This creates a lethal amount of ultraviolet energy to kill microorganisms and germs. In just 5 minutes 99% of surface mold and bacteria will be killed. UV-C does not use chemicals, leaves no toxic gas or residue and is environmentally friendly. It is also safe, affordable and easy to use. 

Different brands of CPAP machines can use the Lumin machine provided their parts and equipment can fit inside the light chamber. This UV-C sanitization system is also used in ambulances, food prep facilities, operating rooms, emergency vehicles, and dental tools. The Lumin CPAP cleaner can also be used to clean hair combs, nail files, scissors, tweezers, hearing aids, baby items, cell phones, eyeglasses and other items that can fit in the drawer of the machine. 


Why must I disinfect my Mask and Water Chamber?


Disinfecting your CPAP machine keeps bacteria from growing in the humidifier’s water chamber and CPAP mask and prevents foul odors from developing and making you ill. This is important because when in operation at night the CPAP machine fills with warm moist air which provides the perfect setting for bacteria to breed. Also, an accumulation of debris and facial oils may prevent the CPAP mask from fitting snugly and will cause air to leak and prevent the required pressure to be maintained. 

Daily cleaning of the CPAP will keep you healthy and will allow you to stay compliant with the machine’s manufacturer. With each daily cleaning, it is not required to dismantle the mask, however, you will need to remove any visible debris using a CPAP wipe as the light will not remove it. You may also dismantle the mask and place it in the Lumn CPAP mask cleaner each week for complete cleaning.

What Supplies Do I need to reorder?



The Lumin CPAP cleaner contains no filters that need to be replaced or detergents or chemicals that need to be refilled, unlike other CPAP cleaning machine. The germicidal UV-C bulb will outlast the cleaner, but in the event, the bulb is damaged, you can get replacements from 3B Medical.
