Cleaning instructions
Cleaning the respiratory mask
For hygienic reasons, clean the mask daily and the head strap weekly, or if you no-
tice any contamination. Follow the mask manufacturer’s instructions for use when
disassembling, cleaning and reassembling the mask.
1. Separate the mask from the breathing tube.
2. Disassemble the respiratory mask into its components.
3. Soak the head strap in warm, mild soapy water.
4. Clean the mask components with the soapy water and a soft brush. Make sure
that you reach all cavities and recesses in the parts - for example, the holes
for exhalation openings.
5. Rinse the head strap and the other mask parts thoroughly under running
water.
6. Allow all parts to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight when doing so.
Check the mask and head strap for wear, damage or deformation after each clean-
ing. Damaged parts must be replaced. When used by a single patient, disinfecting
the device and accessories is not required.
Cleaning the breathing tube
For hygienic reasons, clean the tube once a week. When doing so, follow the clean-
ing instructions in the instructions for use for the breathing tube.
1. Disconnect the breathing tube from the device and mask before cleaning
2. Wash the tube in warm water and use a mild detergent.
3. Rinse the tube thoroughly with drinking-quality water.
4. Hang the tube up to air dry. Make sure that the tube hangs so that all liquid
can drain off. Avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the tube may harden over time
and cracks may form.
5. Do not use the tube again until it is completely dry.
Check the tube for damage after each cleaning. Damaged tubes must be replaced.
Slight discoloration is acceptable.
Cleaning the device
The surfaces of the respiratory therapy device, humidifier, power supply unit and
power cable must be cleaned weekly.
