Why is SoClean 2 discontinued?
The SoClean 2 was discontinued because the manufacturer, SoClean Inc., determined that the product was no longer their best option.

Additionally, their model has an integrated safety system that limits the amount of ozone released into the chamber and shuts down the machine if these levels are exceeded.
At SoClean, the health and safety of their customers is a priority, and they adhere to the most stringent safety standards. With the SoClean CPAP Sanitizing product, you can rest assured that you will be using a safe, effective, and reliable sanitizing system.

The SoClean and SoClean 2 are both automated CPAP cleaners and sanitizers. Both units use activated oxygen (or ozone) to kill up to 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and other pulmonary pathogens.
The primary difference between the two cleaner models is that the SoClean 2 also has a built-in check filter which notifies you when it needs to be changed. The SoClean 2 also offers optional Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to connect their cleaner to a smartphone app for enhanced device information and use.
Additionally, the SoClean 2 is smaller and quieter than the original, making it more discrete and easier to transport.
So both SoClean models offer safe and efficient sanitization for CPAP masks, hoses, and other respiratory accessories. Ultimately, a SoClean 2 may be the better option for those who want the additional filter monitoring and Wi-Fi connectivity or a more compact and quieter design.
