Does CPAP equipment like the AirSense 10 really contain bacteria if not properly cleaned?
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. In a clinical report from the Journal of ClinicalSleep Medicine, bacteria were recovered in 9 of 11 tests from the breathing tubes of CPAP devices fitted with humidifiers.
Which microorganisms were tested?
This is a Gram-positive, spherical-shaped bacteria commonly found on both the skin of humans and animals. This bacteria is known for being the second most common bacterial isolate from human blood and has been known to cause infections in people with compromised immune systems. Typically not a public health pathogen, recent strains of this microorganism has demonstrated antibiotic resistance.

AirSense 10 by an average minimum of 99.9%.
99.9% is a number that is thrown around a lot, but what makes our number true
is that it comes from an independent lab test conducted by Biofocus LDRand Microchem Laboratory.
Their Results Summary: Various pathogen species were used for disinfection testingand the SoClean 2 in all testing facilities/species resulted in a minimum average Log 3 reduction (99.9% Disinfection) with many tests performing over a Log 4 reduction (99.99% Disinfection).
