Comparative Data 

The 3B Lumin Mask Cleaner represents a significant advancement in the realm of CPAP accessory sanitization, employing state-of-the-art technology to offer a superior user experience. When compared with other market options, the Lumin stands out due to its innovative use of UVC light, efficiency, and safety features. Below, we explore how the Lumin compares to other popular CPAP cleaners like the SoClean 2 and the VirtuCLEAN. 

1. Sanitization Method: 

• 3B Lumin: Utilizes high-energy UVC light to disinfect, which is a dry process requiring no chemicals or water. This method is proven to kill 99% of bacteria, viruses, and mold on a cellular level. The UVC light is a trusted technology widely used in hospital settings for sterilizing surgical tools. 

• SoClean 2: Uses activated oxygen (ozone) to sanitize CPAP equipment. While effective, ozone can irritate the lungs and respiratory system, posing a risk to users, particularly those with respiratory sensitivities. 

• VirtuCLEAN: Also employs ozone for sanitization. Similar to the SoClean, it requires a lengthy airing-out period to ensure no harmful ozone is inhaled. 

Advantage of Lumin: The Lumin's UVC light method is faster and does not have the potential health risks associated with ozone. This makes it safer for users with respiratory issues and more environmentally friendly. 

2. Cycle Time: 

• 3B Lumin: Offers a rapid 5-minute disinfection cycle, making it one of the fastest CPAP cleaning solutions available. 

• SoClean 2: Requires a 2-hour cycle, during which the equipment cannot be used. 

• VirtuCLEAN: Needs only 30 minutes but also requires additional time for airing out to remove any ozone residue. 

Advantage of Lumin: Lumin's quick 5-minute cycle allows for almost immediate use of the CPAP equipment, enhancing convenience and compliance with daily use. 

3. Ease of Use: 

• 3B Lumin: Features a one-touch operation system, which is extremely user-friendly. There's no need to disassemble CPAP parts, and it does not require water or chemicals. 

• SoClean 2 and VirtuCLEAN: Require setup and connection to the CPAP machine, which can be cumbersome and intimidating for some users. 

Advantage of Lumin: The Lumin's simplicity and ease of use eliminate the hassle and time involved in setting up and running the sanitization process. 

4. Versatility: 

• 3B Lumin: Not limited to CPAP accessories, the Lumin can also sanitize a wide array of personal items such as toothbrushes, mobile phones, and children's toys. 

• SoClean 2 and VirtuCLEAN: Primarily designed for CPAP equipment, offering limited flexibility in sanitizing other items. 

Advantage of Lumin: The flexibility to sanitize non-CPAP items makes the Lumin a more versatile and practical choice for households. 

5. Maintenance and Ongoing Costs: 

• 3B Lumin: Requires virtually no maintenance, with no filters or chemicals to replace. The UVC bulb is designed to last the lifetime of the device. 

• SoClean 2: Needs replacement filters and check valve assemblies annually, adding to the total cost of ownership. 

• VirtuCLEAN: Also requires occasional replacement of parts. 

Advantage of Lumin: The lack of recurring costs and maintenance requirements offers significant long-term savings and convenience.
