FAQs about the Control III CPAP Cleaner

How long will Control III last?

The concentrated form, in the original container, has a 5 year shelf life. However, once the diluted solution of one ounce of Control III to one gallon of water has been mixed, it can be used for up to 14 days. If the diluted solution becomes noticeably dirty then it should be changed sooner, even if 14 days has not passed. The Home Care Kit comes with Control III Test Strips which once immersed in the diluted solution will change color to indicate if the solution is still active and effective.

What is Control III Disinfectant Germicide?

This is a hospital grade germicide and disinfectant. It contains an extremely effective formula that has two unique quaternary compounds that act as a broad-spectrum disinfectant.

Is Control III used extensively for respiratory therapy home care?

Nationally, Control III is the trusted product of choice for disinfecting home care respiratory supplies and equipment.

Is Control III environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is. Control III breaks down quickly when released in septic or sewer systems and does not cause harm to human, plant or animal life.

Is it effective against spores?

No, it does not kill any spores.

How does Control III kill bacteria without being highly toxic?

Toxicity does not determine bactericidal effectiveness. The active ingredients in Control III attack the core structure of the bacterium by a chemical method of action while simultaneously having a low toxicity level.

Is it effective in killing Tuberculosis?

No, it does not kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, it is effective against many other common bacterium.

Does it irritate the eyes and skin?

The concentrated form of Control III, as it comes straight out of the bottle, is a primary irritant to the eyes and skin. Direct contact of the eyes or skin with the concentrated form of Control III Disinfectant should be avoided. However, once mixed with water per the instructions, the diluted solution is not an irritant to the skin or eyes. If you do get it in your eyes, rinse thoroughly for 15 minutes with water. If redness or irritation continues, please contact a doctor.

Does the equipment need to be pre-cleaned prior to disinfecting?

The most vital step in the disinfection of your equipment is proper pre-cleaning. It removes the initial dirt and grime or other matter which may have caused contamination of the equipment. Once pre-cleaned, all items should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water before disinfection.

What should be used as a pre-cleaning agent?

A mild detergent such as regular baby shampoo or a liquid dishwashing detergent without moisturizers or anti-bacterial ingredients should be used to pre-clean the equipment. Do not use bar or liquid hand soap. After the pre-cleanse, rinse all of the items to be disinfected with fresh water and then immerse in the diluted Control III solution. The proper dilution ratio for disinfecting home care respiratory equipment or supplies is one ounce of Control III concentrate per one gallon of water.
