Lumin Bullet CPAP Hose Cleaner
A clean CPAP tube is a long lasting tube, but sanitizing a CPAP hose by hand can be incredibly difficult, messy, and time-consuming. The CPAP hose is notorious for being a breeding ground for bacteria and mold since it remains warm and moist when in use. It is also difficult to clean due to its length and oftentimes remains dirty even after washing. To counter this, 3B Medical’s Lumin Bullet was designed to easily and efficiently clean the hose by killing 99% of bacteria and germs in seconds.
Effortless Cleaning
Unlike manually washing your tube, cleaning with the Lumin Bullet is simple. You will no longer need to struggle reaching the inner portions of the tube or have to wait half a day for the tube to dry. Instead, all it takes is 2 minutes of your day and it's clean and ready to be used. Paired with the Lumin CPAP Cleaner and Sanitizer, your CPAP mask, water chamber, tube, and other CPAP machine accessories will be clean every day with no effort.
Long Lasting Charge
At a fully charged state, the Lumin Bullet is capable of up to 30 usages: an entire month of daily tube cleaning. Its portability makes it convenient to use even during travel. Charging is also a breeze; all you need to do is plug in the USB cord located at the rear of the machine and plug it into a power source. When the bullet displays a red glow this signifies that it is charging. A green light signals a full charge.
Safety First
Most companies tend to opt for ozone cleaning when designing CPAP equipment cleaners. 3B Medical, however, decided on a method most health industries began to use: UVC light (Ultraviolet C light). This is because ozone, despite being an excellent sanitizer, is also harmful to human bodies. Ozone inhalation can lead to respiratory issues such as trouble breathing, coughs, and chest pains, so a leak in an ozone cleaner can be deadly.
In comparison, although ultraviolet light is powerful enough damage human eyes, they are still essentially lights. They are far easier to regulate compared to gas substances like ozone. In terms of cleaning properties, they can destroy 99% of harmful bacteria, pathogens, viruses, and fungi in under 3 minutes, which is faster than ozone cleaning since the ozone has to disperse once finished (which adds a waiting period after cleaning) whereas the UV light just has to be turned off.

FAQ
How do I use this machine?
Cleaning using the Lumin Bullet is simple; insert the sanitizing probe into the hose and close the Lumin Bullet casing with the tube in between. Once the casing is closed, the magnets in the casing will pick up the probe and you can slide the machine to the other end of the tube. The magnets should keep the probe gliding through the tube. Just be sure to be gentle during this process and take some time so that it thoroughly disinfects the tube. The recommended time is around 2 minutes.
Thank you.
