WINX SLEEP MACHINE

Description of Event or Problem

I USE THE WINX SLEEP MACHINE FOR MY SLEEP APNEA. THE WINX SYSTEM UTILIZES SURGICAL TUBING IN ITS SYSTEM. WHILE THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT THE TUBING SHOULD BE RINSED WITH A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF WARM WATER AND THE CONTROL UNIT ON A WEEKLY BASIS FOR CLEANING PURPOSES, I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS BIOFILM CONTAMINATION POSSIBLE IN BOTH THE UNIT AND TUBING. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL BRONCHIAL INFECTIONS IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE SOME RELATIONSHIP TO CLEANING PROTOCOLS. WHEN I REQUESTED INFORMATION REGARDING THE EFFICACY OF THE CURRENT CLEANING PROTOCOL FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF THE WINX SLEEP MACHINE I HAVE BEEN BASICALLY IGNORED. I HAVE ASKED THEM IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO USE A ON THE SHELF DISINFECTING SOLUTION. I WAS TOLD FINALLY THAT IT WAS OKAY BUT IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE MACHINE MY WARRANTY WAS VOID. I ASKED IF THERE WERE APPROVED OR RECOMMENDED DISINFECTANTS AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NONE. ASKED FOR MANY TIMES BUT NEVER PROVIDED.
