First of all being in the medical field don't depend on the government. Opioids have caused many disasters and there was n intention on curbing the scripts from all types of docs. I do agree that over cleaning can be problem, but on these PAPS I have seen the filthiest even from those who are highly educated!!...like even those with 2 PhDs!! What I have read just plain soap and water does the trick or a soak in white vinegar and water...the old go to for everything. Now with those new fangled ozone machines I have a debate on them. First I am concerned with that permitting my PAP machine. and second what does that do to my lungs? I have one and the other issue is how my nasal passages get so clogged using that machine. I now am going back to my old reliable wash.
That makes no sense. Get a referral to a real sleep doctor and not just a plain pulmonologist or other non specific doctor.
