1. A system comprising:
- an ozone device comprising an ozone operating system and an ozone distribution line;
a connector unit configured to fluidly couple the ozone device to a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, the connector unit comprising;
a first end comprising a first opening configured to couple to a reservoir of said CPAP device;
a second end comprising a second opening configured to couple to a hose of said CPAP device;
a first passageway extending between the first opening and the second opening, the first passageway defined at least in part by a wall of said connector unit, wherein said wall extends between the first end and the second end; and
a port comprising a third opening that is configured to couple to the ozone distribution line and a second passageway, wherein the second passageway extends through the wall and is at least partially disposed within the first passageway.
