I cannot testify as to how effective it is as I have no way to measure what germs may or may not have been present to be destroyed. The bag is recommended for change every three months, which seems a waste as it appears to be sturdy enough to last longer. The filter, located in side the bag, apparently has a 3 month life. Why not design a changeable filter? My filter came loose after just one month of use so I had to tape it back in place. The mfg did, however, send me a warranty replacement. Compared to other sanitizers on the market, this appears to be the smallest and hopefully just as efficient. ","comment":"Roger,\r\nI am glad you are enjoying your Sleep8. \r\nI thought I would take the time to respond and explain to you why we have the time limit on the bags.\r\nFirst, as you mention, the filter has a limited life. The activated carbon in the filter slowly turns to C02 in the process of breaking down ozone. Eventually if you kept using the same bag, it would have no carbon left. We picked 3 months as the useful life, because it still has a high efficiency at day 90, but starts to drop off not to long after that.\r\nAs to making a replaceable filter. Early on we thought of that, but it would increase the cost of the Sleep8. A replaceable filter, with an airtight connection to a bag, would cost nearly as much as the stand alone bags we currently use. In addition to this it would require a very expensive cleaning bag that would need to stand up to multiple cycles of attaching and removing of the filter, and years of use. Doing that seemed to need some non-recyclable materials too. \r\n\r\nAs counter intuitive as it might seem, the single use bags we have now are cheaper, recyclable, and generally more environmentally friendly.\r\n","by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":1518617,"displayed_image_url":"","created_ts":"2019-04-13 16:07:47.338234+00:00","star_rating":4,"resolved_message":null,"score":0,"user_name":"Roger O.","user_image_url":null},{"body":"I LOVE my SLEEP8 \u2764 Quiet, portable,fast \u0026 easy to use!

The filter lasts for 90 days, at which point it is highly recommended that you discard the bag, and begin using a new one. It is not possible to change the filter on the bag itself, so you will need to begin using an entirely new bag. We offer a bag subscription option on mysleep8.com so that you never have to worry about remembering when it is time to change out the bag.","question":"Why does the bag have to be replaced every 3 months?","id":11135},{"answer":"The Sleep8 Filter Bag attaches to the Sleep8 device using a proprietary coupling. On the internal side of the coupling, our universal port attaches to your CPAP tube. This combined with a 1 way valve, ensures that all of the ozone produced by the Sleep8 is directed through your CPAP tubing, into your CPAP mask, and finally sent all around the outside of your Tubing and mask. In this way the Sleep8 Filter Bag allows ozone to clean both the inside and outside of your CPAP supplies.\n\nAs the ozone does its job, it breaks down into oxygen, and so we need to continuously pump more ozone into the bag. As ozone and air are blown into the bag by the sleep8, it starts to inflate. when it reaches the right pressure, the gas is forced through the activated carbon filter. This filter is where the Sleep8 Filter Bag gets its name. The carbon in the filter, reacts with left over ozone, and converts it to regular CO2 and oxygen. \n\nThis is how the Sleep8 Sanitizing System can use such a powerful ozone generator and NOT leak large amounts of ozone into your room.\n\nThis is also why the Filter Bag should be replaced every 3 months with your CPAP supplies. As the ozone breaks down the carbon it starts to lose efficiency. Regular replacement will ensure proper operation.\n","question":"How does it work","id":10654},{"answer":"The Sleep8 has an 18 month warranty, but each unit should give you years of use under normal conditions.","question":"How long has Sleep8 been in use?","id":10551},{"answer":"We recommend to use the Sleep8 daily and to change the bag every three months to maximize your experience and to ensure that your equipment is as clean as possible. That being said, it is your device and it is totally up to you if you would like to follow the recommended usage instructions. Keep in mind that the sanitizing bag has a 90 day warranty.","question":"Can I use the Sleep8 every other day and use the bag for 6 months","id":10550},{"answer":"Technology is supposed to get cheaper as it gets better, and the Sleep8 Does just that. Some older, louder, and bulkier units cost significantly more than the Sleep8. To be honest, we just don't think that's fair.\n\nThe Sleep8 CPAP Sanitizing Companion System, which includes the 1 Sleep8 Device, Sanitizing Filter Bag, and Micro USB Charger, costs $249 or can be purchased for three easy payments of $87.16.","question":"What's the cost","id":10380},{"answer":"The bag must be changed every three months for your safety and convenience. Unlike some inferior CPAP cleaners, Sleep 8 works to contain all of the ozone in it's cleaning chamber. The bag houses a charcoal filter that reacts with the ozone, turning it back into regular O2 oxygen as it leaves the bag. This filter wears out over time and therefore must be replaced.","question":"Why do you have to change the bag every three months?","id":10090},{"answer":"The Sleep8 bag will not work with any cleaner other than the Sleep8. This is because the Sleep8 is unique in that the cleaning device attaches to the cleaning bag directly. This keeps the entire tube and mask inside the bag, for a safer more effective clean.\n\nNo other cpap cleaner currently available has the required airtight connection.","question":"Will this bag work with other cleaning systems other than sleep8","id":9066},{"answer":"We recommend the bag be replaced every 90 days. Currently you can rely on when you change your cpap supplies (if done every 3 months) as a good baseline indicator. CPAP Supplies are subject to normal wear with continual use (masks can stretch and tubing can crack) The Sleep8 is designed to kill bacteria, but does not prohibit wear and tear on the silicone seals and rubbers.","question":"how can you tell your bag needs replacing? I feel like i don't really need a new hose and mask cushions as often as they tell me i do. is every 3 months really necessary?","id":5812},{"answer":"Pete, we certainly understand your concern. Our bags are designed to be safe and effective for you the patient. Additionally filter kits (as our competitor sells) are subject to customer support concerns over breaking and leaking charcoal powder, which can quickly ruin your day. Additionally, our filter bag is proprietary and not subject to counterfeiting as our competitor kits are subjected to. Reducing fakes and counterfeit product cuts down on the need to police the market and allows us to keep our prices low. Our bags are also sold for as low as half of what our competitors filter kits retail for. Requiring a customer to change filters may be easier for some, and more challenging for others, so we have adapted a one size fits all model, to help you achieve healthy clean cpap supplies, without the headache of changing filters. Thank you for your question.","question":"Buying a new bag every 90 days seems expensive..Why can't we purchase a new filter every 90 days instead..Pete","id":5024},{"answer":"Our bags are specifically designed to work with the Sleep8 device. They will not attach to other cpap cleaning devices. Our bag design incorporates safety features not present on other devices of similar size and therefore is specifically designed to work only with the Sleep8","question":"can these be used with other cpap cleaning machines","id":5014}]}
