7.5 Care of Your Carry and Shower Bags (continued)
Keeping your shower bag clean will help ensure it works properly and lasts longer. It
can be washed by hand using a mild detergent and cold water. Once the bag has
been washed, allow it to drip dry. Never heat the shower bag to dry it or place it in
an electric or gas heated clothes dryer. Make sure your shower bag is completely
dry before taking the next shower. Inspect your shower bag for damage or wear
before each use. If you have problems or questions about your HeartWare
®
Shower
Bag, your clinician can assist you.
